Fox News derides Bolton as a liberal, suggests that Obama testify about Ukraine.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/fox-news-contributor-dan-bongino-john-bolton-is-just-another-snake-in-the-liberal-swamp/

Fox News contributor Dan Bongino said that President Barack Obama had not done enough to clean the “swamp” in Washington, D.C. after reports said that former National Security Adviser John Bolton was aware of the president’s Ukraine scheme.

...

Bongino suggested to the hosts of Fox & Friends that Bolton, who was also a Fox News contributor at one time, could be part of a liberal conspiracy to bring down the president.

...

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade wondered if leaked excerpts of Bolton’s book makes it more likely that he will testify before the Senate impeachment trial.

“Testify to what?” Bongino exclaimed.

According to the Fox News contributor, any Republican senator who votes for witnesses is a “weak-kneed wuss.”

Republican senators were reportedly blindsided by the revelations, which the White House knew about last month, and are signaling they may call Bolton to testify during the trial — but Avella warned that would come at a cost to Democrats.

“Name another jury in America that gets to pick the process,” Avella said. “Senators are going to get to pick whether they witnesses or not. Let’s just say this — if they do, President Obama, Andrew McCabe, the whistleblower, (Rep. Adam) Schiff, all better clear their schedules, because they ought to be asked to testify.”

These crackpot propogandists have twisted themselves into the most stupendous contortions. It's be funny if it wasn't so corrupt.

weird sort of way in blaming Pres O, of course now - Bolton is a secret Liberal, and Republicans are weak bullshit. . .

fake news is the arm of all things propaganda and is the Republican's source of all their talking points re: lies.

and now during the trial for his removal from office, this is spun into somehow being Obama's fault? Oh and also BOLTON is a secret liberal??

This is seriously what they are going with.

Is this going to piss off Bolton? Might he testify before THE HOUSE?? That would get all the viewers that won't get a chance to see him in the Senate.

Truth is, Faux news is the reason we have the split in this country we have. And the Saudis own outright in their own name, 6% of faux news stock. Now putin's bunch has bought in.

If I were a stoner, I’d ask what they’ve been smoking, because it sounds like someone completely detached from reality.
