I saw this NRO piece on Bolton this morning but was enroute from Denver to ATL. I think it is a decent deep dive into the origination of the fallacious theme that Trump is being influenced inappropriately by Bolton when it comes to US policy toward Iran.
The author goes on to give more background on this theme involving criticism of Bolton that comes from the left. It has a purpose..... fear mongering over war with Iran. The theme is also heavily used by EU organizations with a vested interest in preserving the Iran Nuke Deal.
It's an appealing argument to "kick the (Iran) can down the road" devotees instead of unwinding a shitty, unverifiable Nuke Deal where there is plenty of well founded doubts that the IAEA is doing the job it is chartered to do ..... because they can't among other things.
The facts are that sanctions on Iran are working; as I have held forth on previous posts, the deployment of 5th Fleet Assets to the gulf are nothing more than a backstop to Iranian sponsored mischief. It does not mean the US is seeking a war with Iran and Trump has made that clear. If the doubters would lower their voices, in the next couple of months some good is going to come of American resolve in the face of a determined enemy with the goal of developing a nuclear weapons program for the single purpose of dominating it's neighbors and destroying it's enemies in the ME.

Not sure which analogy is more accurate for Trump and the GOP....Marshall Applewhite and Heaven's Gate or Hubbard and Scientology.Last edited by Ghengis Jon; May 18, 2019, 09:45 PM.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho Marx

2) I doubt Amash would be 'fine' with that
3) I'm sure Amash is also well aware that Trump will now target him for destruction and is already making calls to see who can primary him next spring.

i remember a time where the 0bama administration when asked if they had issues with the transition reaching out to world leaders, they said they didn't and even offered to help facilitate those contacts. all the while they were recording the conversations, unmasking transition individuals and leaking conversations to the leftist press.
and in congressional testimony, the 25th amendment was one of several things the intelligence agencies were considering.
