talkpoliticsJohn Bolton must be feeling pretty content right now. He knows how badly the Trump presidency will be judged and has positioned himself on the right side of history, at least this time around. I'll definitely read his book.
You see, the problem with being a Republican politician in this day and age, staffer or appointee - aside from having to lie for a living from morning until night - is that eventually the rainbow of lies that constitutes the GOP daily disinformation program will inevitably be exposed as the pack of lies that they in fact are.
John Bolton is many things I don't like, but one thing he's not is a pathological liar.
There are many people willing to lie, deceive and dissemble for Donald Trump - Sean Hannity, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Mike Pompeo, Kellyanne Conway, Lindsay Graham, Devin Nunes, William Barr, Mike Pence - but not everyone is willing to sell their soul for the nation's #1 grifter.
John Bolton is a bellicose neo-con war hawk conservative, but he's not a liar. And he probably doesn't have a high tolerance for liars either. And he probably has at least some respect for the United States Constitution*, unlike Trump's Republican flock of blindly loyal sheep.
It would be nice to hear Bolton tell the American people about the Ukrainian 'drug deal' that Donald and the Rudy Giuliani, Secretary of the Trump Deep State, cooked up in Kiev.
Truth will come out.
* Although he didn't seem to mind George W. Bush bypassing the Senate to sneak him in as ambassador to the UN.
