John Bolton was 'personally involved in many of the events, meetings, and conversations' at the heart of the House impeachment inquiry, 'as well as many relevant meetings and conversations that have not yet been discussed' publicly, his lawyer says.

because he and his deputy are seeking a judge’s ruling on whether they're bound by the White House's directive not to appear. The White House says the pair have"absolute testimonial immunity," Cooper noted.

The judge in the case scheduled a hearing for Dec. 10, which the House argued was too long to wait. The committees Schiff suggested the pair should be bound by whatever another judge decides on executive privilege claims involving former White House lawyer Don McGahn. The House Judiciary Committee has been seeking to question McGahn about allegations in the Mueller report that Trump had directed him to fire the special counsel.

Bolton is trying to pump sales of his book. He used to distain political officials cashing in

Just wants attention for his book coming later.a real patriot would have volunteered to appear on request

Dear Charles Cooper: please tell your client to comply with the congressional subpoena instead of hiding behind some baseless “absolute testimonial immunity” and then shouting sh^t from the cheap seats!

Oeps Bring it on BOLTON MAKE TRUMP BEAUTIFULL

well sit his backside down in the hearings and do the Patriotic thing and Save America from Donald. Be a 'hero' and put America first before your 'ego'...

john bolton we make trump resign

Trump is making a mockery of our Constitution. If”We the People” don’t step forward, it will be too late

Bolton is the gatekeeper. He is clearly fishing for immunity. The sad thing is no amount of evidence will result in this president being impeached. Too many worried about being re-elected that they have seemingly forgotten about the oath they took.

Talk man! Talk! What is he waiting for?

Knowing is half the battle. The other half is implementation.

This asshole never met a war he didn't like...Tucker put him in his place a long time ago...and he actually said Tucker was working for Russians...it stands to reason he would be front and center in this...Hope he gets jail time...

Hmmm.. looks like Bolton’s attorney(ies) are looking for a plea deal in exchange for testimony that includes more than has already been made public.

John Bolton Just a word of advice, there is no honor among traitors. trump will backstab you. But don't worry, we'll enjoy seeing you spill your guts in the impeachment hearings.

Lock him up!! I don't trust him!! Anybody that eat cheese on his partners is no good!!!

Nothing but stalling tactics.

Not such a patriot is he. More of a sissy I say. Shame on him.

The one man consistently vilified by the left for decades now is their sole hope for moving the impeachment football towards the end zone. What a time to be alive

I wish he would just testify

😅😅😅 Be careful what you ask for Bolton is no fan of Adam shifty
