BF,
heh, even -relatively- speaking, it's probably less a case of "ethical bastion" vs "I'm intelligent enough to know that there's legal liability involved."
the revelation that Bolton knew what was going on but decided to keep shut about it, even after getting unceremoniously booted out of the WH, actually makes me take back my earlier statement-- I hope he gets another dose of the Trump treatment now.
also, note that Bolton reaching out to the WH lawyers to "warn them" shows how much out of the loop he was on stuff -- those same lawyers ended up moving the transcript to the NSC codename network, and hell, Trump was the one whom was dictating to Amb Sondland on what to say re "quid pro quo"! it wasn't a "Rudy and Mulvaney" drug deal, it was a -Trump- and Rudy drug deal!
Think of it another way Buck, is there a better way to measure just where Trump's Presidency is at that John Bolton might look like some sort of ethical bastion.
Strange days indeed.
