Andrea Mitchell: Bolton 'not leaving quietly,' will return to TV to bash Trump

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell said Wednesday that ousted national security adviser John Bolton "is not leaving quietly" and will return to TV to voice his displeasure with President Trump.

"He was tweeting his objections. He was texting reporters including our own reporters at the White House immediately," Mitchell told the network's "Morning Joe" program. "I was on the air when this all happened. It happened one minute before we started our show, so we blew everything out and just went wall-to-wall for the hour, and people were texting in and showing me their texts from John Bolton as we were rocking back and forth."

"The fact is he is going to be very outspoken," the veteran Washington reported added. "He is not leaving quietly at all.”

to know that the only kind of non-disclosure requirements that apply to federal employees are those that prohibit the disclosure of classified information. Otherwise, NDAs by federal employees are unenforceable.
