to do nothing but continue to exude his vaporous malevolence into the right-wing political class. All of these scumbags have soft landings in their future.

But Bolton already stepped on his own dick vis-a-vis his book. He refused to testify in front of the House, citing Trump claiming executive privilege, because he thought the Senate would call him and he'd be the star witness on the biggest stage. Even Bolton thought the Senate GrOPers would ultimately allow some witnesses. Now he's got no method to compel his testimony, and Trumpists are abusing the national security council review process to claim his book is chock-a-block with classified info. If it ever gets published it will be ten or a hundred times less relevant than it would have been when he had a chance to defy Trump's bogus privilege claims and testify like Sondland et al did.
