January: I refuse to talk unless the supreme court says I have to in a few years.

June: I want to talk to everyone. Now buy my book and give me money.

What a true GOP patriot

[guybartlett]

Why didn't you tell this to the impeachment committee?

[markyouneva]

Bolton: Crimes in progress. Lemme not call 911 i'll just document it in a book deal many months later.

[evzv]

Someone needs to tell Bolton that he would have gotten a better book deal and sold more books if he would have testified in front of Congress when it mattered.

[alphamuplays]

Guy says nothing until he can write a book, he should donate all the money he gets to covid charities

[keithdmaust]

Notice Bolton didn't answer the question "what did you do to protect us?"

[Leftatalbuquerque]

You might not like wearing a mask, but you'll hate needing a ventilator.

[sparxfly]

But "what did you do" to stop them ? Oh.... nothing. Gotcha. Nothing.

[OBGynKenobi]

The thing is, Bolton isn't saying anything that is surprising by people who can judge character. If you voted for Trump and still think he's a great leader, you've been drinking wayyyy too much bleach.

[dwainmcwilliams]

He was aware Russia was meddling in the election and that was the basis for his joining the administration in an attempt to cash in on some of those Russian rubles, having failed, he writes a book.

[maxmac]

Shouldn't give Bolton a platform. He stayed silent when his country needed him.

[mkgnlgt]

He talks about this as if it’s history, something that happened years ago, without a thought about the people suffering right now, today

These are not points of interest, they’re people’s lives

The man is a coward

[scottonandrew]

Knowing what Bolton knew and when he knew it, it is amazing how this guy can stand up and talk about this with no shame at all. Having said that, I'm glad he is FINALLY coming forward.

[Interglacial_optimist]

It almost sounds like this guy should have removed Trump from office..

[jml-rjre]

January would have been a nice time, and the Senate a nice place for this discussion.

[icemanlife]

Wth, why didn't he testify if he's sooo revealing.

[coryhobbs]

I won’t tell my story, .. unless I can get rich, by writing a book later.. the truth is worth getting me and my friends rich, and un accountable

[laurettelaliberte]

Things you could have said months ago, under oath.

[chloedancer]

Never had respect for Bolton and still don’t, why he didn’t testify is disgusting all FOR

[wjones]

I'll never forget Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair. Now we got an empty chair.
