A lot to hide.

Disgrace. When someone didn’t show to testify at Clinton’s impeachment, she actually went to jail for contempt

They all know it's a biased, undemocratic, partisan coup lead by left wing Democrats and President Trump haters!!!

☹️I was hoping would testify. Makes me sad!😢

Obstruction case grows ever stronger by the day!

This game s not a game. Why are they allowed to treat it like a game? Not only that but the game they’re playing is cheating the American people. Perhaps that’s the point?

The lawlessness of this administration and its supporters is outstanding and despicable.

Congress needs to stop putting up with this blatant disregard for the law & hold those refusing to cooperate, in contempt. They chose to participate in a conspiracy to defraud the American people & desecrate our democracy, by soliciting assistance from foreign entities, which...

'Closed door!!!!!' What a sham of an investigation. Let's pull them in and interview them behind closed doors. Then cherry pick who we will call publicly. I cannot believe this BS 'investigation' is happening.

EpsteinCoverUp BC is guiltier than Joe Paterno...

Haaaa haaaa

We knew a week ago that he was not going to appear voluntarily--why wasn't a subpoena issued then?

Mr. Bolton, Congress mustache you a few questions about why you said Trump’s Ukrainian policy was like a bad drug deal.

Party over country

Good.

Bolston has never been there for the people of America. He is in politics to satisfy his own hawkish ideology. I have never sensed patriotism in this guy. Another coward exposed in GOP. They either cry or hide.

The coup is being exposed.

Disgraceful! They all need to show up. Cowards!

Bolton needs to testify! When you except a role to work in an administration, I believe you have a responsibility to answer to the American people, whether or not it's good for the President.

Accountability now! No one is above the law.

The forthcoming subpoena had better have some TEETH in it.

What a shocker. John Bolton has an opportunity to demonstrate true patriotism and he fucks it up to a fare the well.

He needs a subpoena. Then he will show.

Not a patriot

Thats a shame. I thought he was a patriot...Country first! I'm terribly disappointed in Mr Bolton.

Arrest him. Sick of this lawless administration crapping on our Constitution!!!

Bitch

When are we going to start arresting these betrayers of the constitution?

When are the HouseDemocrats going to lock these people up?

Ray Charles could've seen that wasn't happening😒😒

But Trump wants his side told to America people but they don’t show up

All stache, no balls

What a coward like trump they wnt tell the truth if

Lock his ass up

All that winning

Lock Him Up!!

Nah... he’s just worried about his book deal. It will be worthless if he testifies now!

😮😮Mark S Zaid, the whistleblower’s lawyer, goes to Disney World by himself He also liked multiple videos on YouTube about underage Disney child actresses Odd, isn’t it? 👀

I don't think our system of checks and balances is equipped to handle a situation in which so many refuse to honor their oaths to this country.

Yet another one who’s career just ended.

sogeshirts the “perfect call” that nobody is allowed to talk about

He wants that book deal

He don’t want to expose all the juicy info for FREE he prefers to put it all in his BOOK for a Price.

TeresaMac2009 Send police to arrest them. The bring them before congress in handcuffs. Its call contempt.

Knew it! Just Knew it! There was No way he was going to be hated by All Republicans

All talk and no mustache.

Will he have to shave that mustache or at least trim it in prison?

Of course...traitor!!!!

There aren't any consequences. They know that. Until dems get tougher, it'll keep happening.

This guy is corrupt. The trump admin probably has a treasure trove of things that can incriminate him. So, of course he won’t show. Too bad for him, it’s only a matter of time before everything is out.

His mustache got caught in the elevator door.

'Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive'-- Sir Walter Scott. Trump's extortion of Ukraine in 2019 may be an outgrowth of obstruction of Mueller investigation into Russian interference in 2016 election, with Trump's call following Mueller's testifying.

Hahaha I would have flipped them the bird too.

The tough guy is afraid of a yellow coward. Amazing

No profiles in courage here. Guess he doesnt want to spoil his book deal.
