Bolton: Dems ‘Mishandled’ Impeachment ‘Badly’

STEPHANOPOULOS And John Bolton ░░░░░░░░ us now Mr Bolton ░░░░░░░░ you for joining us ░░░░░░░░ morning Let s pick ░░░░░░░░ where Mary just left ░░░░░░░░ right there If Democrats ░░░░░░░░ you will you testify ░░░░░░░░ Well let s see ░░░░░░░░ they decide to do ░░░░░░░░ let s be clear ░░░░░░░░ that primary way that ░░░░░░░░ rein presidents in is ░░░░░░░░ through impeachment it s ░░░░░░░░ elections and presidential behavior ░░░░░░░░ be reckless reprehensible dangerous ░░░░░░░░ t necessarily make it ░░░░░░░░ I think one of ░░░░░░░░ mistakes that the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ and they made plenty ░░░░░░░░ the idea that everything ░░░░░░░░ resolved through the impeachment ░░░░░░░░ and they mishandled it ░░░░░░░░ I called it impeachment ░░░░░░░░ in the book And ░░░░░░░░ know what they do ░░░░░░░░ obviously is up to ░░░░░░░░ STEPHANOPOULOS But you also ░░░░░░░░ that a Senator John ░░░░░░░░ would have probably voted ░░░░░░░░ convict President Trump BOLTON ░░░░░░░░ I don t look ░░░░░░░░ still don t know ░░░░░░░░ the information about Ukraine ░░░░░░░░ many of these other ░░░░░░░░ but my point is ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats made a ░░░░░░░░ decision at the beginning ░░░░░░░░ the Ukraine impeachment effort ░░░░░░░░ push Republicans aside I ░░░░░░░░ there were a lot ░░░░░░░░ Republicans in the House ░░░░░░░░ might have been open ░░░░░░░░ a more reasoned nonpartisan ░░░░░░░░ much like thinking back ░░░░░░░░ Watergate days what Sam ░░░░░░░░ and Howard Baker did ░░░░░░░░ Democrats rejected that entirely ░░░░░░░░ made it a partisan ░░░░░░░░ in the House That ░░░░░░░░ it would be a ░░░░░░░░ fight in the Senate ░░░░░░░░ they lost That s ░░░░░░░░ a very good strategy.”
