John Bolton is about to publish his tell-all memoir of his time in Trump Circus. As Paul Waldman notes, Bolton is no hero. We will see more of these type of actions, like the ones we've seen from Jim Mattis and now Bolton. There will be others. You have to think Kellyanne Conway is salivating over her future book deal.
But let's not for one single fucking millisecond consider any of these people heroes. They had an opportunity to help expunge this cancer from the body politic during the impeachment hearings and the Senate trial. They said nothing.
Ideally, the Mattises and Boltons and others are saving their harshest fire for the months leading up to the general election. Hopefully there is a major expose that will show all of his...Who am I kidding? We know who this shitstain is and there are still roughly 40% of Americans who will vote for him.
Maybe the constant drip drip drip of revelations (like his tax returns that show him to be poorer and more in hock to Russia than we "know") will depress that number to the mid-30s.
Maybe.
But I've given up holding out any hope for Republicans as a group, and that certainly includes feckless arseholes like John Bolton.
