It was horrible judgment on Trump’s part to hire Bolton in the first place. Bolton is a Bushie neocon who is at odds with Trump’s America First foreign policy.

Hmmm... Now hearing it is Vindman’s brother, what are the chances Bolton put that in there for Trump to see if there would be any leaks coming out??

The Times reported that the manuscript included a bombshell claim

The NY Times reported that it did not actually SEE the manuscript... and could not verify the claims, so it reported hearsay, the same kind of hearsay Schiff's pal Vindman reported to the House about Trump's July 2019 call that he did not overhear himself.

[[so it reported hearsay, ]]

Doesn’t matter- the left and the msm will make a big stink screaming about ‘hiding evidence’ if the republicans don’t call bolton now- mitt collins murkowsky and maybe soem other rinos will probably call for bolton now too- but we’ll see- hopefully Trump’s lawyers will rip this to shreds monday-

Sounds like the other Vindmann at work. God knows why Vindmann is still in the loop. Yet another aspect of how Trump's appointees keep dropping the ball. Vindmann kind of looks like a less good-looking version of Seinfeld's nemesis - Newman.

"But the timing is suspicious for sure. "

From the timing I'd judge it to be more sucker bait trolled in accordance with the democrat playbook.

Yeah probably a real long shot with the apparent terms Bolton left under... It only seemed like a possibility when I saw it was Vindman’s brother responsible for the review.

“During the past twenty five years, he has been focusing predominantly on Central Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia where he completed some of the biggest investment and advisory transactions in the region,” according to the website. “He also completed transactions in the Middle East, and traveled extensively in Asia and Africa.”

The page continues: “Prior to founding Tungsten he was a Managing Director responsible for investment banking origination and client coverage activities for Russia and CIS region at UniCredit Group – the largest international bank in Central and Eastern Europe at that time. Previously he worked as a Vice President Investment Banking at JPMorgan Chase, Principal Banker at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the EBRD), Senior Associate at Bankers Trust and Manager at Central Europe Trust.”

Leonid Vindman “received his Bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth Graduate School of Business,” his company website says.

Nonsense! If Dems get to call witnesses then Trump gets too as well. It is absurd to think it can work as you claim in the Senate.

John Bolton will be a man with NO ONE supporting him when this is all over.

Pains me to think in times past I respected Bolton and thought he was a rock solid patriot. I guess The Swamp has had a corrupted influence on him.

“What a puke he has turned out to be”

Really. I honestly believed that in the end Bolton would do the right thing. Wrong.

IMO one of Pres. Trump’s main faults.
When he fires an official he should simply thank him/her for their service and let it drop right there.
But no, he makes a vindictive enemy out of the ex-employee by dunning them publicly.
Bolton and the others want to save face and legacy by revealing any dirt they may have on the leader.
