U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer denied Wednesday that President Donald Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping in June 2019 for help in the upcoming presidential election, an allegation that former national security adviser John Bolton levels in his forthcoming memoir.“Absolutely untrue, never happened. I was there, I have no recollection of that ever happening. I don’t believe it’s true, I don’t believe it ever happened,” Lighthizer testified during a Senate Finance Committee hearing.New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez had asked Lighthizer, a well-known critic of the Chinese government, about an excerpt from Bolton’s book in which he alleged that Trump asked Xi for election help during a meeting

The real question here is whose fault is it that China would have the POWER to help anyone with anything in America. Could it be . . . Barack Obama??

This and nothing else will stop the lock-step, criminal Old Media bastids from trotting out the predictable and alliterative headline "Bolton Bombshell" as did NBC's "Today Show" this am. Bolton's feces was set to debut but along came the impeachment face-plant and the Wuhan flu so the usual suspects have had months to tweak their lies.

It was supposed to be Russia, right? They couldn't prove that one because it was a lie. Now it's China because a fired disgruntled employee wrote it in a "memoir"?
Un-freaking-beleivable. These liberal democrats need to be institutionalized, along with any lemming that would believe this trash.
And Bolton shouldn't be able to show his face.

If you listened to John Bolton talking in a video clip of an interview that will appear on ABC this coming weekend you can see that he considers himself to be the ultimate DC insider Deep State type operator, who knows everything about the world, and a big time warmonger. While Bolton considers President Trump to be a dumb New York City businessman who knows nothing about the ways of how the DC insiders deal with the outside world. The problem with that is that President Trump is one of 45 men who have been elected President of the USA and as such is the decider of when the USA takes military action against enemies, and adversarial entities around the world, that is the President’s call and not Bolton’s. Obviously during the time that Bolton was at the White House he advised Trump to take military action that Trump did not go along with that discombobulated Bolton big time. Bolton seems oblivious to the fact that the American people elected Trump in large measure to get the USA out of endless foreign wars and not to start new wars. An example is when Trump was trying to reach a deal with North Korea, that no other President even tried, with Bolton reportedly coming out saying that Chairman Kim should be treated like Gadaffi of Libya was treated, thus undermining Trump’s efforts.
Bolton had better sell a lot of books because his career as a high level governmental appointee has come crashing down. The leftist and liberal Democrats hate him, and the Republicans will never have the trust in him necessary to appoint Bolton to any high level position in the future. Remember Bolton refused to testify under oath to his allegations against Trump before Schiff’s committee, but now makes them in a book where he thinks he cannot be held responsible.

Bolton is a liar. I used to pay attention to what he said, and now I see that he is just another Deep State corrupt thug, completely free of any ethics, willing to make up any lie to get back at the man who is disassembling his beloved Swamp and wrecking all the great corrupt back room deals that they all had rigged to screw the taxpayers and enrich and empower themselves.
Like so many "conservative commentators" - we discover that they are just phonies.

President Trump is the last person China wants in the White House. Biden, or any other democrat would be much preferred!

So the demonrats reveal that they have asked China for help. The kungflu was probably the first big attempt. Where are the demoncrats getting their money for the campaign and all their other anti-American efforts? From China and other foreign nations. Remember the Verona files and Teddy (U-boat commander) Kennedy's letters?

On CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC and elsewhere, Brennan and Clapper were announcing that our President had been colluding with Russia and that they had the evidence to prove it. But when subpoenaed before the Congress in secret sessions, they testified they had never seen any evidence of any collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign or the Trump administration. Bolton now does the same by refusing to testify under oath but broadcasting his lies.
I loathe Bolton. I wish I could tie him down and pull out his mustache hairs with pliers.

WTH is wrong with this guy? He got fired, but he still had some sort of standing.
The only thing he is doing now is showing what a putz he truly is.

It's only common sense. China had to know what was coming after several decades of leading America around by the nose. We gave them our knowledge and technology on the temptation of saving a few cents in manufacturing costs. Then they got greedy.

Bolton is an opportunist and a war monger lobbyist for big money defense contractors.
When all is said and done, a couple of years after President Trump is reelected ( not right away) a little IRS audit may be considered fair reciprocity to all of these lies.

Oh, so now it was Chinese collusion, not Russian?
Good grief. Tomorrow it will be the Martians. Absolutely lame. Total malarkey.

One of the really amazing things about President Trump is his ability to make these formerly respected "conservatives" just freak out, show their true colors and burst into flames and destroy themselves in a very public way - never to be trusted again.
This is so cool. Bolton thinks he is harming Trump, and he has blown himself up.
