More than two months before he asked Ukraine’s president to investigate his political opponents, President Trump directed John R. Bolton, then his national security adviser, to help with his pressure campaign to extract damaging information on Democrats from Ukrainian officials, according to an unpublished manuscript by Mr. Bolton.

Mr. Trump gave the instruction, Mr. Bolton wrote, during an Oval Office conversation in early May that included the acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, the president’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani and the White House counsel, Pat A. Cipollone, who is now leading the president’s impeachment defense.[b]

Not believing the spin that the NYTimes is certainly putting on this story - as they have done in the past.
We will see what Bolton's book ACTUALLY says.


Then I guess John Bolton should be put under oath and testify before the Senate. I'm sure that'll clear everything up.

Well . . . Russia, China, North Korea, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Kurdistan . . . and every other place Trump has stuck his thumb in.


So more abuse of power and not upholding his oath to defend the constitution?

Conflicting accounts.

Here comes the smear campaign on Bolton.

So weird how suddenly this story is there. Step out of line with the GOP and they will bring up old stories they never had an issue with. Sneaky horrible ba$tards. But Bolton made a pact with them. Lol.

You don’t.

Bit Republicans don’t care about fairness.
