This is the weirdness of the Era of Trump:

Our obvious enemies are somehow our allies.

Consider the list:

John Bolton
Rick Wilson
Anna Novarro
Steve Schmidt
Nicolle Wallace
Shep Smith

The list goes on.

I don't trust a single one of them. Their motives are not in alignment with mine.

Just because he used to work for Faux "news?"

Seriously?!

This is my point. Trump is so polarizing that some people that we would normally ignore are our allied critics of Trump.

It's weird, I know. Shepard Smith is not a journalist I would normally put my faith in the quality of his reporting. Except in the Era of Trump.

Weird.

so he has a score to settle. Once he does that, he'll go back to being -

accused of and he tried everything to talk him out of withholding the aid but he wouldn't listen, that will make a deeper impact on the Pubs that all three days of the Dems presentation could.

that Trump ordered the hit on Soleimani because it was something Bolton wanted, in hopes that Bolton would back off his criticisms and not spill the dirt he knew if he had a chance of getting what he wanted most (war with Iran).

I don't think this came from Trump himself, mind you. I don't think Trump is informed or lucid enough to even think in those terms. I think it might have come from some of his handlers-slash-enablers.

Iow, this carrot leads us in, then we get smacked. Well, BOLTON got what he wanted, the Iran attack.

****Naw, let's get him in there!1

Bolton is a calculating warmonger but I don't think he's a traitor. I also think he has a massive ego like Trump and won't just stay quiet about being fired. He's not a follower.

Bolton is an asshole, but I have not seen propose treason against the US, or endanger Americans serving in diplomatic corps abroad like some others have. The Trump Administration has openly come out and call him a liar.

but this one takes the cake.

I don't trust Bolton, he's a liar, warmonger and was canned by Trump. (Or he quit...)

So we shouldn't trust him either.

I sure as hell don't.

Now IF, and this is a big IF, Bolton has actual evidence, like the recordings of Trump saying to Rudy and his cronies "Take her out" only then will I trust what he says.

This is a fight between Repubs, where they fight to keep Bolton out. We get to watch.

Who likes Bolton? Not many. But, he will not testify contrary to what he has written in his book. He wants to sell it, and the selling point is the dirt he has on Trump. That's what people will buy his book to read. Plus, as previously noted, Trump fired him. Bolton is motivated. I would be shocked if he came out and defended Trump. And, I don't think Bolton is afraid of "head on a pike." So, we may not like him, but if he puts another light on Trump's misdeed, let him testify.

And superhawk Bolton is not happy about the massive self-destruction of American power.

Of course no one sane should trust him.

But if he is instrumental in taking Trump down, well,
