To the editor:
I have found very little with which to agree in former national security advisor John Bolton’s assessment of world events and his recommendations for U.S. foreign policy. Yet I always felt he was proceeding based on strongly held beliefs about what was best for the country rather than personal gain. (“The Senate has to hear from John Bolton before voting on Trump’s impeachment,” editorial, Jan. 28)
So I appeal to his patriotism to stand up and be heard.
Bolton should not wait for a subpoena. Instead, he should give a news conference with a complete summary about what he knows. The public needs firsthand information about the Ukrainian “drug deal” as well as the president’s cozy relationships with strongmen.
Bolton would still sell many books, plus he would have the respect and gratitude of the American people.

Note from KBJ: Let me get this straight, Joel. You hated John Bolton until he turned on President Trump, whom you really hate. Very principled of you. Question: Will you resume hating Bolton if he ends up supporting President Trump? Be careful what you ask for!
