Personally, I found this story believable and a bit funny. Bolton appears to be a real douchebag. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortn...t-from-her-new-book-its-about-bolton-n2571064
Yeah, Bolton is a GOP hawk. Been a murderous douche a long long time now. Those were the attractive qualities Trump hired him for.
Trump gave Bolton a “chance”. “CHANCE”, he gave him the position of National Security Advisor. Trump makes it sound like he gave him a job on the White House Parks & Maintenance division. #BestPeople
Bring the popcorn! "This was Bolton's bet: If he is right and the book does not contain classified information, he keeps the upside mentioned above; but if he is wrong, he stands to lose his profits from the book deal, exposes himself to criminal liability, and imperils national security," the judge wrote.
It is seemingly more evident the players of the deep state are stateless and not beholden to any economic system or even political party. Bill Clinton and George Bush, Jr were both members of the same fraternity in college, Skull and Crossbones, though obviously not at the same time. Bill Clinton and George Bush, Sr eventually became friends. The circumstances of which would likely be front page headline making. I can imagine Obama was given a ruleset on what he could do and not do by those who hold power in the background. The Bush family is certainly part of that background. Obama did not go after Bush because he was not authorized to do so. It is plausible that even Obama does not fully realize the intricacies of the deep state. US ideals that were expressed during the Nazi Nuremburg Trials after WW-II were systemically dismantled during the Bush Administration. This included prisoner torture through waterboarding and other means, denial of due process through the near immediate execution of Saddam Hussein after his quick trial, and other actions that are not top of mind. Saddam Hussein could name names, locations, dates, and objectives of various CIA operations that involved Iraqi intelligence with Iran and probably other countries. Saddam was too dangrous as a witness for the Bushes, hence his rapid execution. Then there is the usual graft and corruption of a missing cache of a billion US dollars and use of public funds for Crony spending. More nebulous are a string of possible political assasinations against effective and influential political opponents in the US. Further, it seems likely the Bush family were the architects of operations like the Epstein prositution ring in order to compromise politicians for their votes on key legislation. Remember, Bush, Sr was a former head of the CIA. Trump denied Jeb Bush a chance at the Presidency and did it in a way that had to be humiliating to the Bush family. After 12 years(Total) in control of the Presidency, the Bush family has been able to establish connections of loyal or obligated people long involved in DC politics. Of the pool of people with the credentials of experience and connections available for Trump to hire, many were from the Bush and Obama Administrations. Including Bolton and Barr, by the way. In addition, the Steele Dossier could have been created through Bush family intelligence connections in order to compromise the Trump Presidency. As we have seen with the Cambridge Group in England, intelligence agencies are quite active in communicating with each other, especially if compromised. Too bad seemingly naive Trump did not clean house of FBI and CIA leadership upon his inauguration. It is plausible that Trump is now compromised in exchange for promises of no prosecution for him and his family after he leaves office.
"As we have seen with the Cambridge Group in England, intelligence agencies are quite active in communicating with each other, especially if compromised" You mean Cambridge Analytica? Of which Americans Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer Trump's biggest donor who saved Trump's campaign were founders?
