The WH was going to tie up everything in the courts for months. Ignoring subpoenas, withholding records, etc. Republicans turned committee hearings into a circus. I've heard Bolton try to compare that partisan circus to the Watergate committees. Watergate was long before the hyperpartisan gridlock created by Kenneth Starr, Fox News, Limbaugh, Gingrich, Tom Delay, Tea Party, McConnell, Dump & Co.

Bolton says he worked on the Goldwater and Reagan campaigns. He's been really fucked up for a really long time.
