Another Bogus Bolton Allegation

The allegations against John Bolton are bordering on the ridiculous. First, he was basically too "mean" and therefore, not a good choice for the UN. The new allegation is that he didn't play by the rules of the beauracracy and tried to set up "meetings on his own."

Supposedly John Bolton would try to set up meetings on his foreign trips without properly coordinating with the U.S. embassies abroad. These petty allegations are so ludicrous that they don't even belong in a news story. The official making the claims, A. Elizabeth Jones, then follows her allegations by saying, "...we always gave him permission. But it was a struggle all the time."

Boo hoo, Ms. Jones. It's also a shame that John Bolton didn't use the proper cover sheet on his TPS reports either.
