Mark Levin talked about Bolton the other day. Said Bolton was a good friend for decades,

Not any more. Levin is disgusted.

Just read the title. Trump asking China to help him win re-election in front of Bolton? That sounds like a Biden move not Trump.

I would imagine that every decision in a first term has some part of it tied to how it will impact the election for the second term. Bolton knows this. Everyone who takes a second to think about it understands this.

I am not sure why this is a “bombshell.”

Forget all the BS, Bolton is going to jail.

No, he gets paid like the rest of the bribe/laundering book deals...a big up front multi million dollar payment, then they sell 3 or 4 books, like Obugger, Mooshele, and hitlery did. Probably combme too.

Good point. Just like Republicans that only care about power. They will easily side with liberals if it furthers their power.
