  1. John Bolton is a hypocrite, the SOB choose not to testify during the quid pro quo investigation that led to Donald Trump getting impeached.

    1. MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO TESTIFIED BEFORE CONGRESS DID LIE AND JUSTICE IS COMING FOR THEM. BOLTON DIDN’T TESTIFY BUT NOW HE MAY NOT HAVE A CHOICE. IMPEACHMENT 2.0 IS ON IT’S WAY.

    2. @XaphillyatedX It does bear remembering that by the time the impeachment was tried in the Senate, Bolton did put it on notice he was then ready to testify. The Republicans in that body blocked witnesses. They didn’t want to hear something that would require them it remove the President.

    3. @Ben Doherty That is NOT an example impeachment malpractice! Not allowing people to testify before the senate IS malpractice. Senate Republicans refused to hear any testimonies.

    1. Democrats are to blame for the majority of problems. Vote Trump for some sort of redemption !

    2. THE DEMON RATS ARE THE PARTY OF DEATH. THEY ARE BEING EXPOSED ON A DAILY BASIS. A PERFECT EXAMPLE IS THAT TRAITOR 44 AND CREEPY JOE WERE DIRECTING THE FBI TO ILLEGALLY SPY ON TRUMP. IT ALL CAME FROM THE TOP. REMEMBER THIS TEXT BY STROK – “POTUS WANTS TO KNOW EVERYTHING.”

  2. In my view, Bolton is an unscrupulous character because he didn’t stand up for truth when it could have made a difference. He can try to justify his actions but I’ll never see him as anything but a traitor to the people.

    1. OH BOO HOO. BOLTON DIDN’T TESTIFY BUT NOTHING WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE OUTCOME OF THE IMPEACHMENT SHAM. YOU LIBTARDS ARE PATHETIC.

    1. @BaDjango20BLM As a psychotherapist, I have discovered many people don’t care–period. It’s my job to discover how they arrived at that place. I always remain neutral. You’d be amazed at how brutal childhoods can be–but the person doesn’t even react until late adulthood. You just never know….

  3. This man is as low as trump. Hope trump sends to jail. Please stop interviewing him. Its pointless and only sell his book

    1. Like all individual#1’$ employees thieves, traitors, liars, grifters, panhandlers, baby killers, no ppe’s for C-19 pandemic chaos. All workers in white house should not be given daily C-19 checkups if the rest of US citizens are denied that test.

    2. @Valerie Shutiva The occupiers of our government should be imprisoned immediately for crimes against America.

  4. Because he knew he was going to write a tell all book and he wasn’t finished writing it yet. He wanted people to buy his book and read what he had to say instead of getting to hear it for free in Testimony. This guys a complete joke…

    1. @muhammad was a pedophile caravan robber there has been a record number of cases reported all over America. So what right wing media are you watching because they are obviously lying to you

    2. HE DOESN’T WANT TO BE ON THE STAND. THEN, HIS LIES AND DECEIT WILL BE EXPOSED. IF THIS TRAITOR DID TESTIFY AT THE IMPEACHMENT, IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE. LIBTARDS CAN BE ANGRY AT THAT REFUSAL, BUT IN GENERAL, THEY ARE ANGRY AT THE WORLD 24/7.

    1. Another 5 Democrats arrested by FBI in LA for RICO. KIP SIMPSON channel has the facts ✅
      Where is MSMDNC on this?

    2. FUNNY YOU WOULD SAY THAT. CREEPY JOE IS OWNED BY CHINA. WHEN THE CCP WALKED INTO THE ROOM, BIDEN AND OHOMO BENT OVER AND THEN SAID THANK YOU.

  5. PSA: Pirated copies of his book are available online. Supporting piracy is better than supporting a greedy warmongering traitor. Don’t buy, google.

    1. I did just read 10 pages. Totally useless so far. Could read the whole thing in less than an hour, but I have errands to do. He regularly shows a lack of political insight like comparing Hillary to Bill for example. Totally different people, especially on the charisma front.

    2. @druu jenkins first, “John Bolton is someone not to be trusted, unless they’re saying what you want”. If you actually read my comments, you’ll realize I didn’t mention anything about his trustworthiness. Greedy, warmongering, traitor aren’t synonyms for liar, try using a dictionary. Second, you and me aren’t qualified to determine if he’s lying or not. That’s the job of congress and that’s why you’re put under oath with repercussions for lying.
      Pro tip: Read comments carefully before replying with 9 paragraph dissertation that no one’s going to read.

    3. @fomoran you are proof of the uneducated and do you not pay attention….Trump is a Impeached President now and forever, he just wasn’t removed from office…

    4. @Blip Machine Bolton has no morals or ethics….he should be ashamed, very, very ashamed….he knew and he sold out America….

    1. Hahah you believe Flynn sold out his country… wow you have no clue what happened with that… the fbi and Obama set him up and there is hard evidence, and transcripts of Obama knowing the fbi was trying to fabricate a lie… but you won’t hear that on cnn.. use your brain and do some research

    2. @Bob Bob “theres hard evidence” 🤣
      So provide a link to this.
      If you don’t we know you’re a liar.
      Flynn pleaded guilty x2. Who does that if they’re innocent🤪🤣🤣🤣🤪

    3. 🤮imark
      Happens everyday where innocent people plead guilty to protect their family!
      Your just an idiot and now General Flynn is Free! The courts have ruled! 😁✅

  6. He’s a short sighted idiot, his legacy will be his biggest regret. People will not/should not refer to his book, they should refer to his inability to stand up for his country. What a disappointment!

    1. @Lerian V The fact that jellyfish have survived over 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people…particularly those who think that swampy don is presidential material and actually admit it online.

    2. Do you seriously believe that the Republican senates would have impeached Trump had Bolton testified? Are you so naive?

    3. Dont tell me what to buy or dont buy.It wouldnt make no difference if he did testify.Trumplican backers are corrupt.Your stupid enough to follow

  7. This interview in nutshell.

    Wolf: You sold the country short by not testifying when the country needed you to. Instead, you waited to be paid $2m before releasing your info in the book.

    Bolton: nO iTs ThE dEmoCraTs fAuLt, NoT mE. bUy mY BoOk aNd ReAd iT, aLL tHe DeTaiLs aRe iN iT

    1. RESHMA kAMAL He only cares about his own personal agendas. Pompeo is another guy who will betray USA at a drop of a MAGA hat.

  8. If Bolton’s inaction, as he claims, was truly benevolent and purely about making this information available to the American public (as opposed to just flagrant greed), he would have testified _and then_ published a book for those who didn’t hear his initial testimony.

  9. His non-action is now costing lives, jobs, money and the futures of countless Americans. He could have done something. He has blood on his hands.

  10. The level of hypocrisy in criticizing someone for not making the case, after you refused to help them make the case, is simply astonishing.

    1. lets be real, his testimony would not have made any difference with the result. im no fan of Bolton but i do agree with him that his testimony wouldnt have changed the result and Democratics were too rushing with case, they were the short sighted ones.

  11. WOLF: “You could have made a difference”
    BOLTON: “Democrats”
    WOLF: “You waited til you could get your 2 million dollars instead of speaking up”
    BOLTON: “Democrats”
    WOLF: “John Dean had courage to testify, why didnt you?”
    BOLTON: “Democrats”

    1. History won’t be kind to Bolton or Trump.. traitors is to kind a word for either one of them..
