That plus the 24/7 nonstop Trump bad mouthing kind of detracts from its significance.

John Bolton is one of the most odious people in Washington. Trump is unfit for office. [LINK] - Chris94 - 3:33pm 6/17/20 (76) [View All]
- Odious...but not a traitor. [NT] - ND521 - 5:59pm 6/17/20
  - He's a grifter, that's at least half of DC [NT] - holybull101 - 7:26pm 6/17/20
- The most odious but you still buy his narrative? Again, sold your soul to neocon for your anti-Trump [NT] [LINK] - Eli - 4:35pm 6/17/20
  - So was John Dean, but he wasn’t lying. [NT] - Frank L - 7:15pm 6/17/20
- Trump should be arrested on January 20, 2021. - AlbanyIRISH - 4:23pm 6/17/20
  - Tish James will prolly indict him in mid to late October. [NT] - ND521 - 5:33pm 6/17/20
    - You and Albany should start your own law firm. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:36pm 6/17/20
  - What would you charge him with? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:27pm 6/17/20
    - Impeding globalism, bringing scrutiny on family kickbacks, bullying [NT] - holybull101 - 7:28pm 6/17/20
  - And you posted “You’ve officially lost it”. Wow. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 4:43pm 6/17/20
  - He will pardon himself first. [NT] - Frank L - 4:36pm 6/17/20
    - Whether or not self-pardon is valid would be in front of Scotus rather quickly. [NT] - ND521 - 5:56pm 6/17/20
      - It would be the perfect ending to his tenure. [NT] - Frank L - 9:52pm 6/17/20
      - The pardon power is a purely executive power. There are no limits. - NedoftheHill - 6:00pm 6/17/20
        1974 Justice Department memo says otherwise, based on fact that Founding Fathers never contemplated - ND521 - 6:20pm 6/17/20
        I knew about that. Self-serving, non-binding memo, IMO. - NedoftheHill - 7:33pm 6/17/20
        
        I take it back. There is one limit. Here is the text of the Constitution. - NedoftheHill - 6:02pm 6/17/20
        A Trump self pardon would not extend to state crimes either. [NT] - ND521 - 6:23pm 6/17/20
        True. You will certainly be able to consummate our status as a banana republic. - NedoftheHill - 7:29pm 6/17/20
        You still support a racist career criminal, serial sexual assaulter & traitor. Why? [NT] - ND521 - 8:08pm 6/17/20
        You guys haven't come up with anyone better. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 8:38pm 6/17/20
        
        Here's a fun scenario. - NedoftheHill - 6:12pm 6/17/20
        Why would the Sovereign District be involved? [NT] - ND521 - 6:24pm 6/17/20
        I give up. Why? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:28pm 6/17/20
        ? You brought up the S.D. and I asked you why they would be involved. [NT] - ND521 - 7:57pm 6/17/20
        Oh, the Southern DIstrict! - NedoftheHill - 8:03pm 6/17/20
        Bill Barr, Mike Pompeo, Jared et al will need pardons, too. [NT] - ND521 - 8:20pm 6/17/20
        They may. The reckoning that’s coming may not be what Cole expected. [NT] - Frank L - 9:50pm 6/17/20
        
        Yes. Entire family, even Barron. First Family is no longer off limits. You guys might go for him too [NT] - NedoftheHill - 8:37pm 6/17/20
        Nah, Tiff who he wanted to abort, Melania, and Barron are the non criminal wing of the family. [NT] - Frank L - 9:04pm 6/17/20
        Irrelevant. We aren't discussing criminality. We are discussing prosecution attempts. - NedoftheHill - 9:09pm 6/17/20
        RICO charges would be fitting. So many predicate acts. And such longggg sentences. Ahhh. [NT] - ND521 - 9:17pm 6/17/20
        
        Oh please. There are plenty of REAL criminals in that crime family to go after. [NT] - Frank L - 9:15pm 6/17/20
        Again, criminality is irrelevant. We are discussing pardons to avoid 521's witch hunt prosecutions. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 9:36pm 6/17/20
        Be serious. You know those three are in zero danger of being charged with anything. - Frank L - 9:49pm 6/17/20
    - Yep. He'd be a fool not to do so. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:27pm 6/17/20
  - Oh you are a great uniter. Arrest the former President. That won’t cause any problems. - PBHangingChad - 4:26pm 6/17/20
    - Raid Obama’s home in the middle of the night like Manafort’s for using the DOJ against opponents? - BaronVonZemo - 5:10pm 6/17/20
      - Seal team drop off of Martha's Vineyard? [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 9:38pm 6/17/20
  - It's a he says shes deal, and everyone in DC are liars, so it goes no where [NT] - holybull101 - 4:26pm 6/17/20
    - Except for Orange, right? He always tells the truth in all of these instances, correct? [NT] - Frank L - 4:58pm 6/17/20
      - I don't think there's an honest person in DC, that means everyone, the street vendors are corrupt - holybull101 - 5:20pm 6/17/20
- Bolton is worse than all of them. A real Neocon that cause Iraq and now he is saved because of his - PBHangingChad - 4:21pm 6/17/20
  - Maybe Trump should quit hiring people based on what they say on Fox News? [NT] - ND_in_DRO - 4:57pm 6/17/20
    - In fairness, one of the biggest voices on FoxNews (Tucker) despises Bolton. - NedoftheHill - 5:56pm 6/17/20
      - Tucker maybe the biggest voice on Fox right now. It’s the only show I will always watch. - TampaIrish - 6:22pm 6/17/20
        Agreed. He's not afraid to go after the GOP. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:35pm 6/17/20
      - Orange liked his views on Iran and China. Plus Orange likes “tough guys”. They deserve each other. - Frank L - 6:03pm 6/17/20
  - This is what, he 4th book that is going to bring down Trump. - TampaIrish - 4:33pm 6/17/20
- China has been abusing humans for decades, you can pin that on the last few Presidents as well [NT] - holybull101 - 3:50pm 6/17/20
  - And........./? [NT] - Frank L - 3:51pm 6/17/20
- There is a reason why the GOP Senate did not want to call witnesses at the Impeachment trial. - conorlarkin - 3:42pm 6/17/20
  - Correct, remember when posters here said they couldn't wait for the GOP to call Hunter Biden? - ND_in_DRO - 3:59pm 6/17/20
    - I disagree, i beleive it was due to all the dirt that would come out on every Senator/Congressman's - holybull101 - 4:27pm 6/17/20
      - That as well. [NT] - Frank L - 4:36pm 6/17/20
- He refused to testify under oath in front of Congress and is going to get rich off of this book. - Cole - 3:36pm 6/17/20
  - Another great hire by Trump: Drain the Swamp! [NT] - ND_in_DRO - 3:59pm 6/17/20
  - Yep. He is an awful, awful person. And Trump is profoundly unfit for office. - Chris94 - 3:41pm 6/17/20
    - Quite the difference in reaction from Robert Gates and Stanley McChrystal books. - BaronVonZemo - 4:35pm 6/17/20
      - True, Obama didn't sue to try to keep those books from coming out. [NT] - ND_in_DRO - 5:28pm 6/17/20
        Because he controlled the media that would torpedo it for him [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 6:40pm 6/17/20
      - Bullshit. Quite different books. Don’t deflect, for once, maybe? [NT] - Chris94 - 4:49pm 6/17/20
  - Except his contemporaneous notes will sink the SS Orange. And the story on Russia isn’t fake. Nor is - Frank L - 3:39pm 6/17/20
    - You better check with Mueller on that. He says otherwise regarding Russia [NT] - ColeyO - 4:28pm 6/17/20
      - Uhm he said there wasn’t enough evidence to confirm conspiracy. [NT] - Frank L - 4:35pm 6/17/20
        OK, and you have more evidence than he does? He had open check book - ColeyO - 4:48pm 6/17/20
        See the issue is when you have people willing to lie for the prez, it’s pretty hard to prove. - Frank L - 4:57pm 6/17/20
        Got it, so its complete tea leaf reading and conjecture on your part. Good to know [NT] - ColeyO - 5:11pm 6/17/20
        Little more than that. What prez campaign ever had the sheer volume of contacts with a hostile - Frank L - 7:34pm 6/17/20
    - Like Comey's contemporaneous notes? [NT] - Cole - 3:47pm 6/17/20
      - Yep, those were never disputed by Orange’s testimony. Just admit you are never right on anything. - Frank L - 3:49pm 6/17/20
- Just read that. Does any of it surprise you? Two of the worst shitbirds in public life. - Frank L - 3:36pm 6/17/20
  - He thinks Finland is part of Russia? - MAS - 3:59pm 6/17/20
    - That's pretty funny. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:37pm 6/17/20
    - The lack of ice is why he wants to buy “Greenland”. [NT] - Frank L - 4:14pm 6/17/20
