Former Ambassador John Bolton was on Fox News today and gave his thoughts on the hack of the DNC allegedly by Russia in order to influence the presidential election.
He starts out with tough talk that if it’s indeed true that Russia was behind it, then they should face ‘grave consequences.” But a few minutes later he brought up the possibility that Russia was framed and this was a “false flag” type attack. Do you agree with what he has to say?
The "Russian election hacking," @AmbJohnBolton asks: "false flag?" Your view? Watch: https://t.co/3UCnV6tEQT. I anchor @Foxnews 4 pm EST.

According to media reports, Bolton is under consideration for Secretary of State or Deputy Secretary of State if ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson gets the top slot:
Tillerson very likely will be paired with John Bolton as Deputy Secretary of State, per @mitchellreports https://t.co/8rKRgAxxC8

The idea of Tillerson as Secretary of State has actress Alyssa Milano talking “nightmare”:
Is anyone out there ok with big oil running our foreign policy? Every day I think this nightmare can't get any worse and then… it does.

And former Star Trek actor Wil Wheaton adds:
@Alyssa_Milano Oh it's even better! It's big oil and John Bolton.

But his potential nomination for either post could face a hurdle as Sen. Rand Paul is an “automatic no”:
I am a no on John Bolton for ANY position in the State Departement and will work to defeat his nomination to any post.

Who would have thought that Hollywood liberals would be counting on Rand Paul to ensure a good night sleep?
