Chris Murphy: I’m Very Worried N. Korea Will Go Badly and Bolton Will Convince Trump to Attack

‘I’m glad that there’s some preparatory work happening for this potential summit between Trump and Kim Jong-un’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: "Well, of course I don’t know what the substance of the meetings were, but I’m glad that there’s some preparatory work happening for this potential summit between Trump and Kim Jong-un. I’m very worried that this summit is going to go very badly and then surrounded by hawks like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo the President is going to be convinced that diplomacy has failed and the only option left is a military action. I think we have to question whether the CIA is the appropriate interlocutor between the United States and the North Koreans. That really should be the State Department. But, I think we should all admit that it’s good, not bad that the Trump Administration is trying to do some work ahead of this meeting, perhaps setting the stage for success rather than failure."
