I am not convinced he will come through.
John Bolton, welcome to the resistance.
If he was that desperate to testify he wouldn’t have ignored the house subpoena. Unless he just wants cover amongst Republicans by being able to claim he didn’t have any choice because a court made him.
He wants to testify publicly, that's his angle. He wants the cameras and all the attention while he buries his grudge.
Think this article does a good job summarizing what Bolton's true intentions are: https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/07/politics/john-bolton-impeachment-inquiry/index.html
In short, Bolton wants to stay relevant in Republican politics so won't do anything that would jeopardize that. Maybe he's trying to get some political favor from Trump by threatening to testify.
Don't think that the Dems will wait for this guy to play his games and will just move forward. Wonder if the Senate will try to bring him in at a later stage to muddy the waters (if Bolton gets what he wants politically from them).

Glad he's cleared that up.
I wouldn't trust him
I could see him phoning up trump and saying either I tell everybody about the quid pro quo in Ukraine or you nuke Iran and I talk about the perfect call...
Trump has been retweeting Bolton today. Not sure Bolton is going to be the saviour everyone is hoping for.
Is he trying to get the charges dropped by claiming permanent insanity?
Does seem to be going down that path doesn't it. It's all a bit too convenient - though not necessarily out of character I guess.
I hope Roger Stone gets trampled by a cow.
Roger Stone is one of the reasons why we are where we are in this country right now. Anyone thinks that's an exaggeration should still watch the "Get Me Roger Stone" doc. It was very insightful.. And disturbing.
Nice to see the approach they’re taking. They’re an organised crime syndicate and are being treated as such.
Yeah should be absolutely fascinating viewing. Wednesday and Friday apparently.
its crazy reading the libs in the replies who want to sell more weapons to ukraine to own trump. its purely reactionary. we just need to tell them that putin has stock in american insurance companies
Why? I'm liberal and I have no problem at all with selling (I'd prefer just giving) weapons to friendly states engaged in defensive wars against our enemies.
What is OMB?
Office of Management and Budget.
I think it's referring to the Office of Management and Budget (Mulvaney's office).
Edit: dammit.
These were perfect lies, same lies as every other politician tells and the real crime here is whoever said I lied.
Fox Judge urges Republicans to impeach Trump in viral speech
How was that allowed to air..
I wish the judge well in his retirement.
Trump tweet in a bit
Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham will swoop in soon enough to discredit.
It didn't air on Fox per se, it was a segment on their paid online subscription service Fox Nation. Clips like this help create the illusion of balance and them going viral provide Fox News cover from idea that they're nowt but a propaganda arm for the Republican party. It's quite clever really because casual observers will see this as progress and assume Fox's position on Trump may be softening while their core demographic largely remains insulated.
Everyone ready for this? 2 Hours to go
Thanks, wasn't aware of that little detail!
George Conway is involved in the live Impeachment hearing according to MSNBC (via Kyle Griffin).
His role will be super interesting as it will hopefully give us a bit of a clue into whether he's really anti-Trump or whether he's in on the whole thing and providing Kelly some cover.
