Bolton should have come forward in the impeachment!! No respect for him!!! He had to sell his book.

[shaney]

John Bolton making the rounds on the news shows is something that borders on revolting. He directed his two top aides - Dr. Hill and Lt. Col. Vindman - to "go to the lawyers" with the information they brought to him about Trump's abuse of power regarding Ukraine. Yet as National Security Advisor, he himself did not have the courage to stand up for our country in a circumstance, in which had he done so, we might not be here today. Had he added the weight of his position and rank at that time, he might have been the difference in the impeachment proceedings.

If Bolton was a SECURITY advisor, it was ON HIM to address this. I can't believe he's not owning this

[lucius]

How far the US democracy has fallen if John Bolton is a voice of reason

Bolton, the national security advisor, didn’t seem that interested in national security.

gone, but your dishonor will remain." - 06/09/2022 Rep. Elizabeth Cheney (R) Wyoming

Bolton, hired by Trump directly from Fox News(?) (there were like 32 others), was a Trump enabler while in the WH.
Now Bolton who was Trump's National Security Advisor for 1 1/2 years, pleads ignorance. A WH advisor pleading ignorance.
My dear.

[davidromney]

Bolton said that Trump doesn't have the capacity to pull off a plot with the stolen Top Secret documents. Bolton did not mention that Putin is more than capable of such a thing, and with Putin handling Trump, it's a foregone conclusion that we can expect the worst.

[dranzacspartan]

Trump is a professional GRIFTER. He made copies of USA's National Security Documents and sold them to the highest bidder. Didn't has family just receive $2 Billion dollars to invest ... and didn't Trump just recently host a $800 Million Golf Tournament on his private Golf Resort?

[AllieSheffield]

It didn’t make sense what Bolton said, in this case why he did not speak up that trump is such unstable person .

[GildaLee]

John Bolton saw what the criminal con man was doing up close and instead of reporting Trump's criminal behavior, he leisurely wrote a book about his experiences over several months. What a patriot!

[yeppo]

This guy has balls now who stayed SILENT while T was in office and now he’s got so much to say! COWARD!!!

[Antonio_]

What you wanted to ask was if Prump is a "fanatic" of nuclear weapons, which is absolutely true, I'm sure.

[barbarajones]

John Bolton appears supremely uninterested in this saga; his main focus seems to be on depicting Mr T as infantile, stupid, easily distracted by new 'toys', unaware, incapable of plotting. It's rather odd that Bolton is so unconcerned.

[shawnuel]

My stepfather is a DEAD RINGER for John Bolton (and is named John, to boot). The only difference is that my step-dad is an INCREDIBLY honorable man.

[Sandiego]

Please stop interviewing John Bolton. It’s self serving and it seems that he’s trying to paint a picture that 45 didn’t know what he was doing because he’s just a careless guy. Burn his invitations to your show now!

[margaretnicol]

Remember when he stole the statue, paintings and other ''souvenirs'' from the White House. He also took items when he stayed at the Ambassador's house in France. He's just a common thief.

[horrido]

Bolton is minimizing Trump's behavior because Bolton had the ability to point it out when it was happening, and did not. It brings into question his motives. The man has very limited integrity, despite his desperate efforts otherwise.

[leeneil]

Sorry - this is a 76-year-old man. An adult who is responsible for his own actions and must pay the consequences for his actions.
