don't know if he ever got to come back here though. He was on the run for a long time, but published several books, and I think he had something to do with a quarterly magazine about the CIA. Funny how the law against leaking the identity of a CIA asset was passed with him in mind, and Dick Cheney decided that law didn't matter when it came to Valerie Plame.

Things in Bolton's book trDump does not want revealed especially before the 2020 national election.

If the Bolton book is published trDump will say secrets of national security interests were revealed - and Bolton is subject to criminal actions.

Bolton had an opportunity to stand up for America in the House.

He did not.

I WILL NOT BUY THAT BOOK.

No Democratic, Leftist, Progressive, Moderate should give him one cent of our money.

The Never Trumpers are a small contingent.

The Trumpsters won't buy it.


He's a selfish sob who has given money hand over fist to GOP Trump Party Causes for decades. He will use it against us.
