[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]And no one will answer why Democrats did not subpoena Bolton.

Or why now he’s a patriot truth telling respected man.

This is very well known and I assume that you know it and are just playing stupid. But, here is the explanation:

1) Charles Kupperman, and NSC aid to Bolton, was subpoenaed. The White House ordered him not to testify. He then went to court and said that since he was getting conflicting demands from two branches of government, the Courts should decide which he should honor.

2) Bolton, assuming that he might get subpoenaed, asked to join the case.

3) The Congress decided that it didn't want to engage in a long drawn-out court case and told the court that Bolton would not be subpoenaed. Bolton was then dropped from the case.

4) Congress withdrew its subpoena of Kupperman and his case was dropped.

In sum, Congress would have liked both Kupperman and Bolton to testify. The White House obstructed that testimony. Congress decided not to fight this in Court due to time constraints.
