    Bolton is not the one on trial here and sexual harassment is not the issue.

    You do understand that, right?

    The game is plainly transparent at this point. Bush also was welcomed into the fold by the anti-Trump brigade.
    No matter which side he's on, Bolton is despicable. Sorry. We don't want him. He's all yours, face-brush and all.

    Pompeo, too, seems to be a trait that runs through Trump’s administration.

    Less than a year ago they were calling him a Trump puppet.

    Yes, my opinion of Bolton hasn’t changed but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to hear his testimony. I found Fiona Hill totally credible. Bolton will bolster her testimony.

    How do you think the vote to call for witnesses will go? Will they open it for *all* witnesses? Only new ones? Only Bolton?

    Whatever else Bolton may be, everyone says he's honest and gives a damn about the law, so hell yes, we Dems want to hear what he has to say and will respect his integrity if he gets the chance to testify.

    His credibility is still questionable.

    I don't want him either. I'm not a neocon.

    Quote Originally Posted by anatta View Post
    He chased her through the hotel hallway, he threw things at her, he harassed her relentlessly. “John Bolton put me through hell,” an American foreign aid contractor wrote to a U.S. Senate committee in 2005, as Bolton was being considered for a top diplomatic position in the George W. Bush administration.

    The alleged harassment took place in 1994, when the foreign aid contractor, Melody Townsel, was working on a project in the post-Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan. Unhappy with how the project was proceeding, Townsel complained about the corporation in charge. While her complaints were being investigated, Townsel was sent to Moscow. And the corporation sent a representative of its own to look into the matter.

    At the time, that company representative — Bolton — was a 45-year-old former State Department official with a long history in Republican politics and a nearly-as-long history of causing controversy by alienating subordinates and sidestepping protocol.

    In her 2005 letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Townsel described how Bolton supposedly harassed her at the Aerostar Hotel: “Mr. Bolton proceeded to chase me through the halls of a Russian hotel — throwing things at me, shoving threatening letters under my door and, generally, behaving like a madman,” Townsel wrote.
    he is a republican asshole the republicans have embraced all his life idiot



    so now that he doesn't want Trump to be king you bringup the fact that he acts like a republican


    fuck off you flying turd ejector
