Check Bolton’s bank account for a recent large deposit.
ALWAYS follow the money trail.
“If the president hadn't heard, presumably, he should have called up the DNI, and asked,” Bolton said. “That in and of itself is disturbing.”
That is nonsensical. If Trump doesn't know about it, then how the hell would he know to call the DNA and ask about it??
But hey, John Bolton's there to carefully never back up the intelligence, simply undercut the president. And it's gleefully printed because it fits the narrative that Orange Man Bad.
It's getting hard to tell if Mitt Romney's lips are moving when Bolton speaks too.
I used to think he was a committed hawk, yes, but smart and always had the interests of the nation at heart though misguidedly so on matters of war and peace. I don't believe that anymore.
Yo, Faux News, are you familiar with the term , "fake news".
The President's public reaction is to the external politics/optics of the issue rather than to the internal machinations of the intelligence bureaucracy. Bolton is a creature of the state and only views the world through that lens.
Hasn’t it been revealed that every possible source of this NYT article has denied the information and called it fake news? - even Russia?
Even the Taliban have denied this story. You need to quit pimping Bolton. This is sad.
Yeah, because, secretly, President Trump hates America and American troops. Goodness gracious.
Your book is a flop, John. Go away, everybody hates you.
Bolton has now been reduced to ankle biter.
Most of our enemies have done this over the years.
The North Vietnamese put a bounty on our SpecOps members.
It’s just what governments do.
I wound not be surprised to learn that our government has list of people they would pay a bounty for.
Didn’t we offer a bounty on individuals identified by a deck of cards?
Should any of this be in the newspaper to start with? That’s what tells me it’s fake news.
Bolton is showing he is an idiot.
“Bolton added that if Trump had actually not been informed about the alleged bounties on U.S. troops, then he should have had the director of national intelligence report to him on the matter. Former Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, was recently confirmed as Trump’s new DNI and said over the weekend that he never briefed the president on the issue......”“If the president hadn’t heard, presumably, he should have called up the DNI, and asked,” Bolton said. “That in and of itself is disturbing.”
1. All that crap from Bolton when (a) ALL that is known is a “journalists” report from anonymous sources, and (b) no intelligence officials have said the “intel” was vetted by the intelligence community.
2. (a) Bolton and no one else has any knowledge that Trump did not ask his national security council to look into the matter, after he heard the news reports about it, and (b) neither Trump nor his national security council owe Bolton or any journalists an answer to that.
Everyone is trying to make an issue of a “smoking gun” that is (a) not smoking and (b) not proven to be a gun (not proven to be truly vetted intelligence).
Bolton is toilet scum, just as all neocons are.
That includes Liz Cheney.
This whole thing stinks of refried Russian bullshit.
Now they attack Trump from the Right.
Did they find those two whores pissing yet?
Mueller is a liar, Obama and Biden were corrupt and Comey was a criminal lackey who framed innocent people.
Bolton should move to the very top of the list.
So if the news reported on it it must be true. Is that what passes for logic these days?
bolton is such a feckless warmonger loser. Did he personally ever serve in the US military? No. What a worthless putz.
