I lost count of the number of times i unconsciously blurted out “you stupid fucking piece of shit” at the TV during this interview

Y’know, there’s something seriously amiss when we get the best investigative reporting from comedians. Granted, closer to Walter Winchell than Walter Cronkite, but I’ll take it.

Self-serving shit-bag of a human being trying to cash in on the way out.

Colbert asked Bolton why he even considered working for Trump, and Bolton said “Because I couldn’t believe it was that bad.”
Colbert snapped back, “But you’re an international negotiator! How could you be naive? You’ve dealt with the worst people in the world.”
That was a pretty savage take-down of Bolton’s entire career and credibility in two sentences. Bravo, Stephen.

This is a fundamental point, I think. Republicans don’t hate Trump because of his policies – they hate him because of the style in which he presents those policies. Republicans want to put lipstick on the pig, but Trump has skinned it alive and given a guided tour of its dying body.

Fascinating how that man can talk and talk but never answer a direct question.
To be fair, Colbert was asking a fair number of very sharp questions, at least one or two of which were probably answered in the book. Though if that were the case, Bolton should have stated that specifically.
Well, he certainly has now.

The Republican Senate said that they hadn’t heard any compelling evidence that Trump should be removed from office because they refused to hear any compelling evidence of that nature.

I haven’t seen a weasely fuck spin his wheels to have it both ways this hard since the last time Bolton was party to a scandal.

Bolton’s attempt to conflate Trump’s self-serving crimes with Democrats supposed political machinations via impeachment was next level fuckery, and why you can’t trust anything this guy thinks - and Colbert called him out on that.

I think Bolton is trying to position himself as an ‘unstained’ post Trump GOP guy. He has read the tea leaves and sees Trump as the shambling catastrophe that he is, and wants to have a job in the post-Trump world.
So he spent most of the interview castigating Democrats for foolishly impeaching Trump for an impeachable crime that he, Bolton, has personal knowledge of but refused to testify about. Trump was then ‘acquitted’ in part because he, Bolton did not share that direct knowledge of the impeachable crime. And that is somehow the Democrats’ fault, because that’s how it works in GOP world.
I will keep that in mind if I am ever asked to testify in a criminal trial. I will only provide evidence if I think the charges are the right ones and the prosecutors or defense are doing them for the right reasons. If there are other charges that also should be done but are not, then I will not testify because reasons. And that is apparently OK in crazyworld.

I would love to see him held in contempt of congress for failing to appear and fined in the exact amount he gets paid for the book.
That this damp pile of shite can make a profit off of violating his oath to the constitution is a travesty.

No kidding. I got one word: FU, Bolton.
He says that the Dem’s efforts were doomed from the start. That’s only because there are a bunch of spineless Repubs in the House and the Senate. Of course, the impeachment happened in the House (Drumpf was impeached), but the trial in the Senate was definitely doomed from the start. Wasn’t it Elaine Chao’s husband who is SO against the Democrats that he’s do anything, ANYTHING, to thwart them?
FU, Bolton.
