Is John Bolton the whistleblower?

[Baltimike]

I. will. flip. my. shit. if. it. is.

In the meantime, remind all of your rightie friends that they OWN this racist mother fucking Russian asset. Forever.

1. Strange bedfellows if it is.

Maybe Bolton has been reading up on the subject of Redemption.

2. Or, knows that the first to jump ship is most likely to survive.

3. YOU DID NOT SEE THAT COMING? EOM

4. Isn't it supposed to be a CIA person?

Or is that disinfo to hide his/her identity?

I don't hold out much hope that anyone appointed by Trump has the moral fiber to do the right thing. I think it's an unknown professional permanent staffer who actually cares about the country and the intelligence agencies.

6. That is what was reported in the NYT

Bolton could be a source for the whistleblower, or the second whistleblower. But if the NYT story is true (and not disinformation), the first whistleblower is CIA.

5. Hope so.

It would make the pukes wake up.

[duforsure]

7. No,

They said it was really well written, more like someone in the intel department would likely do. I think all along he's been writing for a book about this disaster, and trump.

8. no

[dalton99a]

9. No. But it's ok for Trump to think he is

[Bleacher Creature]

10. I doubt it.

It's most likely a career employee who is worried about retaliation. Bolton likely doesn't need those protections.
