Why is his account called "@AmbJohnBolton" when he's no longer an ambassador?

The same reason Hillary is still called SOS. It's customary. One of the biggest reasons I hope

Is twitter protecting the pres as well as everyone else?

Oh, and fuck your Twitter account, Mustache Man, and get your ass to the Intelligence Committee and testify.

Dump Truck kicks it early is so that don't have to spend too many years of my precious life hearing the words "President Trump" without the words died, dead or death following soon after.

Let the civil war bloodbath between Trump and the Republicans begin!

Amb.- You may speak anytime regardless of "access" to a Twitter account; you're invited to come join us for an interview (on this show & presumably many others); or you could testify as your colleagues did, while respecting priv issues.
What's the goal of this Twitter routine?
