Bolton is a disgruntled employee. Mistook Bolton for a man but it turns out he was a boy after all

John Bolton has a Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer problem

Do the right thing Bolton or shut up!!!

McConnell’s witness list will also include the Biden’s and Pelosi’s. We’d all like to see that!

Why didn't RepAdamSchiff subpoena him?

_Politics So he says he's willing to go he he has to, but won't go if he hasn't to.

We need to hear him

Why is Moscow Mitch so terribly Anti American ?

_Politics Another nothing burger story. Thank you AP.

I think Trump took a swipe at Iran to try and please Bolton before he testifies

Loser just wants attention

Is it just me or did you also think he was the “Colonel” when scrolling your Twitter feed?

AP out over their skis again. What will we learn? That Pres DT put a pause on Ukraine aid because he was concerned about corruption including what role the Bidens played if any. Good.We know this already. AP, stop the heavy panting. DT/Russ coll was a scam. So is this impch BS.

CNN ABC NYTIMES WASHINGTONPOST MSNBC CBSNEWS FOXNEWS BBCWorld Reuters Donald Trump and his cronies will go after him. They will attempt to intimidate or plant false intimidation evidence against him to stop him. He must be protect at all cost! God help him.

_Politics البرلمان_لايمثلني_لانريد_حصار

complete waste of time, even if he presents the smoking gun with evidence, it probably would still not be enough to change the minds of base and senate majority, useless!

He knows the herbs and the spices.

I wonder if the price for favorable testimony is war with Iran. Dude suddenly wants to testify after months of saying no. coincidence?

_Politics Right, and Trump will release his tax returns as soon as the 'audit' is over.

Shouldn't this tweet be accompanied by 'Bombshell' ? Libs will fall for anything

Yes but is he going to give up the recipe......11 herbs and spices? Wait what? Wrong guy? Really?

Inexcusable and reason to vote Mitch out of office if a witness, esp a willing witness to a national horror story, is not allowed to share his story with the nation

hegec4 There are enough Senate and House oversight committees that one of them could subpoena John Bolton before the Senate Impeachment trial. Bolton's testimony could added if pertinent, either corroborating or contradicting existing evidence. See quickly if Bolton is serious or not.

Why did AP use a picture of Colonel Sanders?

This guy is a huge nobody What has this guy ever done for this country

_Politics And now that Bolton got his Iran attack you can bet his testimony will be in favor of trump.

_Politics This is a bait for Pelosi to send the articles to the senate. Bolton is free to speak the truth and he hasn’t. Don’t take the bait SpeakerPelosi

Subpoena Bolton now!

He conveniently announces this after knowing Moscow Mitch wouldn't be issuing that subpoena. No surprise.

Thanks, Colonel Sanders.

He got his Ear, he will lie but he won't be even asked to appear in the Senate. He's a greedy coward selling a too late & mostly spin anyways book.

House Dems should just subpoena him for kicks... see what happens.

Republicans dont want witnesses. It doesn't work out well for them

This way he can say...'I offered to testify, but... (someone else to blame).'

Col Sanders? If he going to give away the KFC recipe?

Mitch won't even call him to find out the Colonel's secret recipe.

'No, You're wrong Colonel Sanders'...

Subpoena his ass.

would that be before or after he tries to challenge the subpoena in courts?...

and senate is like: oh yeah we are going to subpoena bolton

Any citizen would HAVE to testify if subpoenaed. But as soon as you have some money and power, you’re able to turn a subpoena into a request.
