| Pompeo says Bolton was shut out of meetings because ‘he was leaking' |
| 2020-06-24 |
| [NYP] Secretary of State Mike Pompeo zeroed in on John Bolton’s credibility in recent interviews, describing the former national security adviser as someone who was routinely shut out of White House meetings because he leaked, lied or stretched the truth about what was discussed. “I haven’t read the book in its entirety, but the excerpts I’ve seen, there’s lots of falsehoods, there’s lot of lies contained there,” Pompeo said in an interview Monday with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “The president and others, myself included, had to cut him out of meetings because he was leaking or he’d twist things or he’d lie,” he said. “It was a really difficult situation where John Bolton thought he was more important than the president of the United States and the American people.” In an interview on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show on Tuesday, Pompeo took aim at the title of the White House memoir, “The Room Where It Happened,” and the insider access Bolton claimed to enjoy during his 17 months in the administration. |

| #7 To think I actually once thought he was an independent strong patriot because he spoke out against the UN. Nope - swamp creature, just working for a different part of the swamp. |

| #5 Interesting how the rabid war mongers (B0ltin and Mattis) ended up hating Trump and being loved by the left. |

#3  /\ Upshot... When all you have is lemons, you might as well plan on making lemonade. Bolton is administration (useful idiot) 'secret weapon' and curator of disinformation and fake news. Once discovered, the administration provided Bolton with selected fake news and disinformation. He took the bait, leaked and published it. The exploitation of Bolton continues. Appears alles ist in Ordnung (all is in order). |

| #2 here's a scenario: The administration knows there's a leaker. The administration suspects Bolton. The administration feeds BS to Bolton. Said BS shows up at our friends in the media. Bolton writes a book full of BS. Profit! |
