Ousted National Security Adviser John Bolton posted a bizarrely cryptic tweet on Friday morning, promising a “backstory” on why he was off Twitter for two months.
“Stay tuned……..” he said.
Glad to be back on Twitter after more than two months. For the backstory, stay tuned……..

Less than three hours later, Bolton posted another tweet, saying his ban from Twitter had some sort of connection to his resignation from the White House.
We have now liberated the Twitter account, previously suppressed unfairly in the aftermath of my resignation as National Security Advisor. More to come…..

Many speculate that Bolton is just attempting to hype a possible book deal, but the enigmatic tweet comes as speculation mounts over whether Bolton intends to testify in the ongoing impeachment hearings. Bolton didn’t show up for his scheduled testimony last week, but his lawyer said at the time that Bolton has information on “many relevant meetings and conversations.”
Democrats reportedly don’t plan to subpoena Bolton and may instead use his absence from the hearing as fodder for its White House obstruction argument. Bolton’s lawyer also denied last week that Bolton was working with the White House or trying to delay proceedings.
During a lengthy interview on “Fox and Friends” Friday morning, President Trump was asked about the tweet, and he denied that the White House froze Bolton’s account.(It’s unclear if the White House can even do that, but Fox News anchors posed the question).
As more current and former administration officials testified in public this week, the picture of Bolton’s role in the Ukraine scandal became clearer. The former national security adviser was a vocal force against the shadow campaign to pressure Ukraine to probe the Biden family and even characterized the effort as a “drug deal” that he didn’t want to be a part of, according to testimony.
A drama queen upset that he dismissed the invitation to the most important in town and now that others that defied the orders from the tyrant went on to show what a patriot acts like (BTW patriots do not wear tricorn hats these days, they are most likely to wear skirts), he is upset that no one begged him to show and is trying to insert himself retroactively.
Either you are going to talk to the committees are you aren’t.No cliff hanger here Mr Bolton. Ship is on it’s way to the First Port Of Call.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMIm0Do7ivYThey’re considering not subpoenaing him? WTF? Get on it already.
The Dems cannot just end this thing here. Public support isn’t growing yet. If they move on to the senate with only what’s been done, the public will forget this whole thing happened by March. WTF are they even thinking considering not subpoenaing Bolton? How many fucking times does his name need to come up in testimony?
It has been said that “Fiona Hill and David Holmes told the truth” and that “John Bolton sold the truth.” Hill and Holmes upheld their oath to defend the U.S. Constitution by coming forward to testify, Bolton is ignoring that oath by opting not to come forward to testify in favor of hawking his upcoming book.
Both of them only showed up upon being subpoenaed.
