I always considered John Bolton something of a crank

I never figured him for a weasel, too.

One wonders what kind of financial arrangements Bolton has in the Middle East that he is so anxious to keep going. In any case, it's a well known fact that Bolton hates Donald Trump.

Is this "Comey's revenge memoir" version 2? Comey was reported (by the NYT, iirc) to "have the goods" on Trump, and it was going to be a "bombshell", yet turned out to be a complete dud when it was published.

I've lost respect for so many people in the Age Of Trump it's embarrassing.

He spent his whole career playing the great game. But as he moved the pieces around the board he never showed full awareness of the human cost. Harry Lime stuff, not a 'sociopath' but maybe some Aspergers like a lot of nerds and wonks. A recent book argues that LBJ and Nixon were similar and both had a bit of Aspergers.

From Foster Dulles through Jeane Kirkpatrick to Bolton. It begins in tragedy and ends in farce. That's my 2c worth.

Now he's cashing in as Trump observed. Can't leave quietly with honor.
