Bolton perjured himself and should go to jail. 3 lies just from fairly casual observation, no classified info required. warandpiece.com Did John Bolton commit perjury in his testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations committee? Amb. Thomas Hubbard is coming forward to say Bolton "grossly exaggerated" the truth in regards to a speech Bolton claimed to the Senators Hubbard approved. On the contrary, Hubbard made clear to Bolton the North Korea speech was unhelpful. More allegations of Bolton perjury are being examined by the Senate Foreign Relations committee regarding Bolton's claims he did not try to get Westermann and a CIA analyst removed from their jobs. As many as five witnesses interviewed by the Senate committee contradict that. Bolton also claimed he just dropped by the CIA on his way home from work to discuss his concerns over the CIA Latin America analyst. Sen. Biden says the day logs indicate Bolton made a special morning trip to the CIA. Senators are interviewing former deputy CIA director John McLaughlin and two other officials to get clarification on the matter. My question: why would Bolton lie over something so easy to check? Why would he give false or misleading testimony about these episodes where there are so many witnesses who directly contradict his testimony? Did he think they'd keep their mouths shut? Or is he himself a bit shaky with the truth? Indeed, there may be a common theme between's Bolton outrage at and attempts to retaliate against intelligence analysts whose analysis he disagrees with, to his alleged perjury before the Senate committee. Does Bolton have a serious problem recognizing the truth? Is he so used to manipulating and cherry picking the facts -- and damn the ambassadors and analysts who disagree with him -- to suit his world view that he cannot even truthfully testify before the Senate about the most basic facts? And in all seriousness, beyond Bolton's troubling mistreatment of subordinates, his gross misuse of intelligence, and his ideological agenda pushing, is someone who has such an evidently shaky hold on the truth a reliable relay between Turtle Bay and the White House?
