Obviously a case of sour grapes. When the power-hungry in D.C. don’t get power they go on the warpath.

Bolton is as phony as the wig on his head.

It’s one thing to get a wide range of opinions. He could have gotten that from Bolton just by calling him on the phone. It’s something else entirely when you hire a National Security Advisor who personifies every single thing you used to club Jeb Bush over the head and send him to a humiliating defeat in 2016.

Twelve days after Hunter stepped off Air Force Two in Beijing with his VP dad and his daughter on an official US diplomatic trip, Hunter’s company signed a historic deal with the Bank of China, the state-owned financial behemoth often used as a tool of the Chinese government.

The Bank of China had created a first-of-its-kind investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR).

According to BHR, one of its founding partners was none other than Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC.
It was an unprecedented arrangement: the government of one of America’s fiercest competitors going into business with the son of one of America’s most powerful decision-makers.

Chris Heinz (John Kerry’s stepson) claims neither he nor Rosemont Seneca Partners, the firm he had part ownership of, had any role in the deal with Bohai Harvest. Nonetheless, Biden, Archer and the Rosemont name became increasingly involved with China.

Archer became the vice chairman of Bohai Harvest, helping oversee some of the fund’s investments.

Troublingly, some of those investments had major implications for national security.

Hunter Biden’s father, the vice president, met earlier with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit.

In December 2014, BHR became an “anchor investor” in the IPO of China General Nuclear Power Corp. (CGN), a state-owned energy company involved in the construction of nuclear reactors.

In April 2016, the US Justice Department would charge CGN with stealing nuclear secrets from the United States — actions prosecutors said could cause “significant damage to our national security.”

Of particular interest to CGN were sensitive, American-made components that, according to experts, resembled components used by the US on its nuclear submarines.

Yes it’s in our National Interests to help Biden and his left wing radical VP get into the Oval Office right Bolton? You worthless traitor. Now we know what he would have said in the Rat scam impeachment trial.

I am thoroughly disappointed in Bolton. Bolton is all pissed because Trump wanted to do foreign policy different than him. Bolton should have kept his big mouth shut.

I'm glad this is coming out now.

By the end of summer the Trump campaign can say, "this is old news, We've answered that. It's time to move on. There are important things to discuss, don't beat a dead horse, or every time you ask us about this we will only answer by bringing up 'hands on' Joe"...

"...so conservatives should be aware of the accusations."

Propaganda and political correctness are powerful weapons....words like "tout", "alleges", begged, used over and over again about President Trump, (Google), and twitter banning people for conservative thoughts.

It is no longer possible to discern the truth/fact about print or photographs to be factual until proven so. Research is your friend.

The left has many ways of rewarding him. Cash in brown envelopes, a bonus on his advance, paid TV appearances, $200k speeches, appointment to an overpaid sinecure somewhere after it all blows over.

I know it wasn't reelection, but it was legacy building.

Bolton shrinks smaller in my perceptions daily.

As a government worker, what is your number one goal? Isn’t
it to benefit the nation?

Does Bolton honestly think that with all we have going on
right now, his efforts are going to help the nation?

What a pathetic individual.

I shudder to think what a puppet Joe Biden presidency would
garner for this nation.

Bolton can’t wait to see that.

I have never been more wrong about a public figure.

Let’s see some evidence.

Agreed. Bolton is just doing some 'jackassin. Show us the money, or it's nothing more than accusations.
