I forget the precise wording on a legal tablet, coming out of what was presumably a national security meeting, Bolton held his tablet facing the white house press corp with cameras. clear notation of plans to invade Venezuala. An astonishing posture, but not surprising.

I always wondered why he didn't face a birage of questions, public scrutiny at the very least.

I dunno, seemed like a big effin deal to me at the time.

And now here he is, when he could have and should have appeared at house and Senate national security hearings in regards to Trumps traitorous national security crimes.

Such a brave and upstanding citizen and official of the united staes.
