John Bolton calculated that the worst thing he could do to Trump would be to announce that he's willing to testify in Trump's Senate impeachment trial, according to Lawrence O'Donnell. As a war hawk who had just praised Trump's actions against Iran, Lawrence notes that the motivation for Bolton's impeachment announcement brings more questions than answers. Aired on 01/06/20.

Lawrence: Bolton Did Worst Thing He Could To Trump | The Last Word | MSNBC
Who made it more dangerous..?
@fried spaghetti Don’t ask stupid questions. Of course Trump did.
President of the Virgin Islands, nooooo, can’t be… … … 👀
@President of the Virgin Islands While you would roll over, sell out, give in to this murderer that killed 600 of our troops and was continuing to do so?
WHAT is WRONG with you, you seditious traitor?
@Terry Michaels you make it sound like he had just killed 600 troops. There are 1000s civilians killed each year in the US – why don’t you spend money on resolving that – but then the arms manufacturers won’t make their big profits.
Wondering if he’d also be prepared to testify to the House?
Let Bolton testify. He’s another 2nd hand witness.
hopefully
Bolton just wants back in now that war mongering is happening. He always wanted a war with Iran. He will lie and defend Traitor Trump.
i would love to see the egg crack…
Feeling like the powers that be got their way. I have feeling trump will lose his job now.
Geddy Schacher you actually don’t know that. These senators like employment more than like trump. Anyways I just watched 2 people and 1 senator already distance themselves. It’s only been 4 days.
@olivberr People ?…..
What does that matter….
Like I said, you keep hoping….
We’ll keep kicking you…..
@olivberr You want to bet your next month’s paycheck on it ?….
Cause I’m game….
I’m holding a straight flush……
As in straight down party lines…..
Flush your hopes again…..
Geddy Schacher tucker Carlson, Laura ingraham, and Rand Paul. Those people have a large reach
Don’t rely on Bolton to give the final stroke…. the guy is a hawk and a rabid GOP operative.
Dave Schultz You’re not very smart are you?
Yeah, he might lie in favor of his war-president. Aggression in the middle-eastern region could have been what trump was asked to do to get these Bush-era terrorists
@Dave Schultz – Fool.
Mainely Bolton is not a Trump fan. Getting rid of Trump doesn’t not mean the GOP is out of the White House—it means that Mike Pence becomes president. Bolton is fine with that.
John Bolton, like Pompeo, is a neo-CONman
Gscalenut I Demand Judgement time To Trump gonna Go He’s Done ✅ Trump stolling My Monney Trump Now Trump stolling My Monney Trump Now Trump stolling My Monney Trump Now Trump stolling My Trump Fraud Fraugery He’s is Bribery I Demand In Jesus Christ Name Jesus Christ Jesus Christ I am the Law On no no one Above the Law
Both are drug dealers.
@Well actually, you’re right. Says every ‘sane’ person.
I can clearly hear the war machine industry and municipality Calibrations.
Indeed! America should be able to inspire the world by it’s power. But over the past decaded it has done nothing (under Republican stewardship) but terrify all nations with illegal wars and interventions based upon nothing but cold, hard power in the hands of madmen.
America can without any doubt at all, become Great Again – but not in the hands of power hungry criminals at the helm
I suggest you can hear the salivations. And see how easily the fools are fooled yet once again, not realizing that they are the fodder for the cannons. What does this provocation and possible war yield? To whose benefit is it? Mine? Yours? Think harder, plan smarter America.
Champagne corks are still popping.
Bolton was present in the Pence meeting in Warsaw .
Bolton super liked trump and he didn’t swipe back, classic case of a lover scorned!
Bolton knows that McConnell is not going to call for any witnesses.
If four Republican Senators call for witnesses, McConnell will have no choice.
The House might also seize the opportunity to reinvite Bolton to testify this week.
Nancy holds the cards at this point.
Let us at least await for his answers and hope that he is at least sincere if not any more likeable as a person.
@Carl A Not so….
Mitch ready to crank up the trial, without the articles…..😁
What is John Bolton’s motivation now? He’s jealous of Pompeo’s odyssey. Are these the best people in America?
You are giving people a bad name
Abbas Hermes : Who ever said there were the best ? Oh, wait..
That would be no
John Bolton is just as corrupt as the entire administration. His book deal should be boycotted it’s going to be filled with lies and exaggerations. #boycottboltonsbook
The profits should be seized on behalf of his victims.
Isn`t it funny that none of these War Hawks has ever served on the ground.
Go figure!
Chickenhawks are the most dangerous.
That’s why they love war
@Stephen Rioux I agree with you and well said. I don’t think they would last 2 minutes in serving.
Stephen Rioux The last president who saw actual combat was Bush Sr
Obama inherited a bad situation re Iran, like a junky car. He replaced the tires which was an improvement. Twunt claims the engine is still bad so he slashes the new tires.
It’s all about trump making deals with all the dictators and if they refuse this his way saying “ How dare you refuse me “
@Arithia Actually the Iran Nuclear deal was a success until Traitor Trump cancelled it on Putin’s orders.
@Individual 1 I think you would have more agreement with just Traitor Trump and Russian asset, instead of something gross. Try to remember there are women and children on Youtube as well please.
Great analogy!
I don’t trust Bolton to do the right thing 😕
BOLTON’S OFFER TO TESTIFY TO THE SENATE IS TO SAY “THANKS” IN SUPPORT OF AND IN FAVOUR OF TRUMP FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF BOLTON’S STRONGEST DESIRE FOR KILLING SOLEIMANI OF IRAN.
You’re right.
Crediting an imbecile warmonger like John Bolton with having a plan is pretty outrageous.
Bolton is contemptible. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him. He was pro the Vietnam War, as a student, but joined the reserves, because he said he didn’t want to “end up dead in a paddy field in S E Asia.” Apparently didn’t care if his fellow students, who opposed the war, ended up dead. A leopard doesn’t change its spots.
He seems convinced that he won’t get subpoenaed by Moscow Mitch.
Moscow Mitch wasn’t going to subpoena him anyway. You mean he seems convinced that he wouldn’t be allowed to testify.
@Annie Yup, that’s what I meant, but Mitch will have to throw a few buddies under the bus to save his skin. Probably a few he doesn’t like anyways.
Yep trump and his Republicans has put every American life in danger.
@Ben Fitz IF YOU’RE SO TOUGH BEN, SIGN UP GO TO IRAQ, AND FACE THE MISSILE STRIKES. YOU ARMCHAIR GENERALS ARE ALWAYS SO BRAVE.
Democrats are now flying the Iranian flag outside of their office buildings and homes.. Democrat voters are now wearing towels on their heads…
Testimony and documents only!
It’s normal to lie in Washington DC.
Donald started a war because he knows if he’s not re-elected he’ll be indicted. Republicans love war 😏
