103. Just outright calling Bolton a liar is not good optics at this point.

So many of the Trump admin have been shown to be liars, repeatedly and recently, but Bolton (smarmy as he is) is not one of them. Trying to claim the manuscript is inadmissable as evidence: okay, so have the person who wrote it testify about it.

Bolton has them terrified, and "nuh-uh!" isn't going to make his information bombshell go away.
