John Bolton could bring down Trump?

John Bolton must know everything about Trump and Ukrainegate. As national security adviser he would have been in all chats and debates and rows about Trump's determination to find dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter and to get the new comedian president of Ukraine to help out as a quid pro quo for getting US military aid. Ousted by Trump for disagreeing with him on a number of key policy issues, Bolton is potentially a huge witness for the House Intelligence Committee and Judiciary Committee in their impeachment investigation. Will muoustacheod Bolton be in the mood to tell all and help to bring down the president or will he prefer to hang on to all the juicy details of life inside the Oval Office for his memoir? Well if he gets subpoenaed he will have to turn up as a witness unless he has clever lawyers to keep him away from the inquisitive House committees. Bolton was a pefect choice for Trump as national security adviser because he is hawkish and believes, to a certain extent, in a lot of the views voiced by the president. Like Iran. He and Trump share the same opinion about Iran and the ayatollahs. But the two men became frustrated with each other to such an extent that the president started to ignore his advice. So now Bolton is a dangerous animal to be on the outside. He could do a lot of damage to Trump. It doesn't mean that his testimony will result in Trump's impeachment, because the Republicans in the Senate can and will still throw out the Democrats' evidence. But a Bolton thunderbolt could still cause lasting damage to a president desperate to win a second four years in office. Will Bolton want to do it? Is he the vengeful type? I suspect he will want to keep the best bits for his memoir. He has now been signed up by a publisher. He won't win any browny points by slagging off Trump in front of the Democrats. Better for him to give moderate and carefully-worded responses to their questions and wait and see how the impeachment inquiry goes. It might be all over by Christmas. Then he can bring out his blockbuster memoir next year and make tons of money. If he attacks Trump in the House hearings, he might undermine his potential sales because people will think he's just a busted flush, another traitor trying to make money. Oh this is a cynical business!
