Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Labels John Bolton a ‘Traitor'
Breaking 911 ^ | June 18, 2020 | Staff

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed John Bolton Thursday for his soon-to-be-released memoir about working for President Trump, calling the former National Security Advisor a ‘traitor.’

“I’ve not read the book, but from the excerpts I’ve seen published, John Bolton is spreading a number of lies, fully-spun half-truths, and outright falsehoods,” Pompeo said in a statement.

“It is both sad and dangerous that John Bolton’s final public role is that of a traitor who damaged America by violating his sacred trust with its people. To our friends around the world: you know that President Trump’s America is a force for good in the world.”

Yeah, it’s a great show.

I’ve always liked Steve Bannon, pretty smart guy.

Oh and I believe I did state it was most likely a rerun.

China’s down in the heel lately. Any money he got was from Soros, big tech, or the deep state.

We were all big cheerleaders for Bolton before the President unmasked him.

A very frightening, shocking and incredibly waking event on a planetary scale.

Not all of us but I was a big Bolton fan. And all of Bush’s wars, too.

I’ve totally revised my political outlook due to the betrayal of Bolton and “Trump’s Generals.” I simply will not support the Neocon/GOPe and their interventionist agenda due to their defacto support of progressive Democrats and their policies. What’s good for the goose and all.

What Bolton and most of the rest seem to over look: they are advisers. There is one elected President. He did not appoint them to tell him what to do but to ask for their ideas, PERIOD. Same with “the Generals and Admirals”. They work for him, not for what they want to do. That was firmly established by the Truman MacArthur dust up regardless of whether MacArthur was right or not. It was not his decision.

As we have seen over the past few years, Trump has been naive in a good number of his appointments. That is a knock. Of course, most prior presidents since Reagan perhaps have shown they were led by their handlers not the other way around.

Every time I have seen John Bolton’s face on the news in the last week, every time, I mute the channel, or I change the channel. I do not need to hear ANY Network’s talking heads splainin’ the traitor’s thoughts to me. Why would you want to smell such garbage??? Mike Pompeo’s statement is enough and will be what I copy and paste to any threads speaking to this matter, especially where flaming libtards nest.

"The people who convinced PDJT is hire Bolton in the first place need to sacked immediately."

Shouldn't Trump own that decision himself?

A quote from the time McMaster was picked.

"Mr. Trump praised Mr. Bolton on Monday and said he would find a position for him.

“We had some really good meetings with him. Knows a lot,” the president said. “He had a good number of ideas that I must tell you I agree very much with. So we’ll be talking with John Bolton in a different capacity.”

Since no one talks to Bolton anymore, I don’t think he is aware of much.

The Democrats all saying they still hate him is a nice touch.

Maybe he thinks She-sketaltor Martha Radish will be his new best friend. He just might be that dumb.

How many times have we seen where when we have the Presidentcy, the Senate and the House the Dems still are in control as Repubs cave with the media messaging that Dems do so well.

Then when they are not in control they beg for funding to take back whatever and we give it to them and still we get stabbed in the back and they ham string our President. Our own speakers of the House stab our party in the back, like Bolton, Ryan especially.

I truly believe President Trump will be the last Republican PResident due to the anarchy, Anitfa groups and the backing of the media seeing the destruction in our cities all over our country and yet they say it was mostly peaceful and fail to show all the violence going out there. Then we have traitor SC Roberts knifing the President in the back. Not one person is willing to expose Roberts for what he is being black mailed for. Not one person.

Whoever controls the media controls a country.

“All Bolton’s treachery can potentially do, is harm Trump’s re-election. He would hand the nation over to the Democrats, America’s communist party, rather than see Trump back in office.”

Better the book come out now, than just before the election.

Neocons have no problem with a radical left domestic agenda, so long as they get their wars, and their big players are protected.

Both Sessions and Bolton where National Review favorites before November 2016.
