The FBI dossier states that Maples former publicist, Chuck Jones, testified in court that she had bought singer Michael Bolton back to her room following Trump's departure for a West Coast trip.

The New York Times, March 23, 2018
WASHINGTON The political action committee founded by John R. Bolton, President Trumps incoming national security adviser, was one of the earliest customers of Cambridge Analytica, which it hired specifically to develop psychological profiles of voters with data harvested from tens of millions of Facebook profiles, according to former Cambridge employees and company documents.
Mr. Boltons political committee, known as The John Bolton Super PAC, first hired Cambridge in August 2014, months after the political data firm was founded and while it was still harvesting the Facebook data.
In the two years that followed, Mr. Boltons super PAC spent nearly $1.2 million primarily for survey research, which is a term that campaigns use for polling, according to campaign finance records.
But the contract between the political action committee and Cambridge, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, offers more detail on just what Mr. Bolton was buying. The contract broadly describes the services to be delivered by Cambridge as behavioral microtargeting with psychographic messaging.

On the National Security Advisor fired by Tweet, Kevin Drum of Mother Jones:
This has to have something to do with Afghanistan, right? There was no particular reason for Trump to declare Taliban negotiations dead simply because a recent attack killed a US soldier. But Bolton used it as a pretext to build support for the policy he wanted all along: staying in Afghanistan forever. Trump was too naive to see how Bolton was playing him, but apparently someone clued him in later. And that was that for Bolton.

I disagree with Drum only on the replacement NSA, who I believe will be even less competent.

An amazing image, another ideal being the day we are rid of all these cursed war criminals and traitors.
