John Bolton replacing H. R. McMaster is a FoxNews analyst. Work for Fox get a job at the WH.

My guess is they are going on a multi pronged attack. Attack the special prosecutor by whatever means possible, attack the media continuously, and start whatever war(s) they can to change the narrative

Waiting for Paul Wolfowitz to be announced as replacing Kelly as chief of staff.

This news, combined with the CLOUD act in the massive omnibus bill the House passed today (goodbye, 4th Amendment) means I'm going to be drinking a bit tonight.

Trump is filling his staff with people who will provide the least resistance. Who's going to reign in this narcissistic idiot? We have checks and balances. Elected officials have to put country before keeping seats of power.

Adam Schiff Verified account @AdamSchiffCA

John Bolton once suggested Russian hack of DNC may have been a false flag operation by Obama Admin. He joins Joe diGenova, another Fox contributor, who thinks the FBI conspired to frame the President. Glad to see @POTUS surrounding himself with rational thinkers. Heaven help us

He single-handedly crashed the stock market today, began a trade war, caused long-term inflation, fired his lawyer, fired his National Security Advisor, and hired a lunatic, all in the last 8 hours or so.

I saw that earlier. It's interesting that it's separate from Mueller investigation. Russian did hack our electrical & energy grid but I'm not sure this would be the vehicle for our response.

BREAKING: Rosenstein to Make Major Cyber Law Announcement Tomorrow

As we should know by now with the Bolton news — when Trump wants you to look one way, it’s best to take a sec and see what else is going on.

Turns out, something’s coming tomorrow. Per Eric Geller of POLITICO:

How can you tell it is not part of the Mueller investigation?

The press release didn't include any of Mueller's prosecutors or investigators (but I suppose it's possible they handed something off to another group).

You're only drinking? Man, I've moved on to hard drugs at this point. It all seems like a bad acid trip anyway.
