is he angling for more money, a spot in Trump's admin, or something else?

Because it isn't that he's ethical or cares about justice.

for Bolton to be a witness at the trial. I believe some others will join him. Sometimes they need a little company to not feel so alone with their vote.

But I would have much rather have had him be president than Trump if we had to have a Republican. Hell, even George W. Bush doesn't look so terrible compared to Trump (and you can go back and read my posts on here from 2003 on to know what I thought of Bush as president!)

Romney must be enjoying the opportunity to stick it to him after Trump spewed bullshit about Romney begging to be Sec. of State. Remember that weird photo of them eating dinner together.
