Former White House national security adviser John Bolton pocketed $115,000 from Ukrainian steel oligarch Victor Pinchuk’s foundation shortly before entering President Donald Trump’s White House as national security adviser, a position first held in the Trump White House by General Michael Flynn. (Snip)
Bolton accepted $115,000 from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation for a pair of speeches in September 2017 and February 2018.
At the former speech in Kiev, Bolton sat on a panel and basically expressed that the national security establishment would not allow Trump to become unconventional on policy, stating, “The notion that [Trump’s presidency] is going to represent a dramatic break in foreign policy is just wrong. Calm

The “national security establishment” would not permit President Trump to pursue his own foreign policy? Would restrain him, if necessary?
The arrogance.

This is interesting. About the Bolton book leak:
“I have evidence that they leaked when it was over in the House. My hypothesis is that this is part of a coordinated leak in order to change the narrative,” Meadows stated in a hallway press conference, referring to Democrats. Meadows’ adult comprehension of political gamesmanship is a stark contrast to many clueless Republicans, and explains why Meadows is a routine White House visitor to talk strategy with President Trump. Vacating his House seat this year, Meadows is expected to become either White House chief of staff or Secretary of State.

#3-That's the real reason they hate him and want him out of office. Too many rocks have been turned over to reveal the slime that thrives underneath.

My first reaction: WHAT???
Bolton took money, installed the Vindman brothers, and now tries to cover the trail.
This is a YUGE stinking pile.

Pinchuk was the largest foreign donor to the Clinton Foundation and was deeply involved the the corrupt diversion of US foreign aid to Soros backed NGOs rather than directly to Ukrainian agencies. This revelation explains a lot about Bolton's loyalty conflicts. Pinchuk was a Russia Hawk in Ukraine and supported Bolton's vision of US military intervention in their country. If Bolton was actually acting under the table for foreign persons he should have been blocked from joining the WH NSC. If he did not report all his foreign lobbying activities he could be prosecuted like Manafort was for not registering as a foreign agent.
Bolton wants to pay Trump back for the Afghan withdrawal plan and his forced resignation.

Isn't it pathetic how easy and cheap it is to buy the honor and reputation of these 'insiders?' This tiny man sure thinks he is something he isn't. He thinks his face time and media coverage give him some kind of above the law special powers. We will see John, but if I were in your shoes, I'd lawyer up. I have a feeling we've only started to see how deep your sedition goes. I understand why a lot of people read into your act what they wanted to believe, but it is obvious you are the male version of Omarosa. You might take longer to disappear from public memory, but your influence is done. Go hang with that Peters guy from one of the networks and play some on-line battlefield games.

So this is why Bolton did not want Rudy to investigate Ukraine. Schiff, Kerry, Biden, Hillary, Pelosi do not want an investigation either???? Is there anyone in DC who was not involved in this poor country that we millions in aid & they give millions to people to ????

John Bolton was fired because he PREACHED the elimination of the Mullahs in Iran for years……. YEARS …..and Trump did NOT want war with Iran. NO wag the dog……….There is video from 2017 of a Bolton speech against the Mullahs where he proclaims “ By 2019 we will be giving this same speech from Tehran.” Luckily OUR president can think for himself.
The proof of Trump’s anti-war stance is in the fact that Trump is successfully waging ECONOMIC war in China and North Korea AND Iran. No need for dead soldiers nor any need to feed the weapons makers!! The weapons maker’s lobbyists do NOT own Trump like they OWN most of DC!!! MY president.
America FIRST

Explains the overmuch protest from dug-in deep staters. They fear for their gravy train.

The list of politicians that didn't take money from Ukrainian oilgarchs is probably a lot shorter than the list of those that did!

So Bolton ended up being yet another swamp creature. Who knew?
The biggest reason I voted for Trump was because he wasn't in DC to get rich. He already was wealthy. He couldn't be bribed, couldn't be persuaded by promises of book deals or jobs with lobbying firms. He had no interest in speaking engagements where he could earn 100s of thousands dollars for a 30 minute speech about nothing. No Netflix contracts. And this is exactly why the establishment and the democrats hate him. They can't control him. They have no leverage over him. The only thing he cares about are the American people and how to do what is best for them.
