Was he still beholden to the Dishonesty Clause that he had to sign to be part of the Trump administration?

What exactly does this prove?

What did I say it proved? .....that "'Warm and cordial calls' doesn't sound like threatening to withhold funds to me."

We still haven't seen any Bolton book. The White House blocked its release this week. After all, Bolton was the NSA, and had access to FAR more information than he would be allowed to publish before federal prosecution ensued. Bolton is probably frantically revising it. Then the new draft will have to be approved ..... hopefully by someone besides little brother Vindman.

Was this before or after Shiff was in TV saying Bolton was dishonest and had no credibility?:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Read it and weep:



.....which flies in the face of Schiff's current claim that Bolton is an honest witness who must be heard from. Schiff, were you lying then, or are you lying now?

Don't get me wrong. I agree with Schiff-face from months ago, not Schiff-face today.

we can solve the credibility issue by having other
people with direct knowledge testify under oath...

Different tune?

We still don’t know if this book revelation is even actually in the book.

We just have an anonymous source who claims it.

First you idiots told us that Vindman would finger Trump. When that failed you told us that Sondlend, yes Sondland was the guy with the goods. When that failed you told us that Yovanovitch knew what was up. That didn't turn out either, so you wrote up impeachment articles without mentioning any crimes.

You delayed as long as senators would let you. Then when you got to present you whined that the Senate should investigate FOR YOU. So you said that "close associate" Lev Parnas knew about Trump's "deal" with Zelinski. That turned out to be a lie, so now you say that Bolton, an honest, but disgruntled, ex-Trump employee must be heard from. Well that's proving to be a lie too.

Hello? .......It's over. Stick a fork in it. All you're doing is hurting yourself.

Amen. Add to that, claims from the cackling left that Bolton's book is almost finished are lies too. The White House blocked Bolton's book from publication on grounds of national security. It seems that Bolton signed a non-disclosure agreement before entering the Trump administration, and the book may not be released in ANY form.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the meantime, concerns over Bolton potentially divulging classified information, as well as violating the legal principle of executive privilege, have emerged. On Wednesday, the White House revealed it had told Bolton not to publish his upcoming tell-all book about his time in the Trump administration until classified material is removed from the manuscript.

GOP DEVELOPS IMPEACHMENT WITNESS 'PLAN B,' SOURCE SAYS

“Under federal law and the nondisclosure agreements your client signed as a condition for gaining access to classified information, the manuscript may not be published or otherwise disclosed without the deletion of this classified information,” Ellen J. Knight, a National Security Council (NSC) aide, wrote in a letter to Bolton attorney Charles J. Cooper last week, which was obtained by Fox News.

Credibility when speaking to the media vs credibility while under oath and facing potential perjury are two very different things that should not be conflated.

Would you say POTUS is credible?
