Video clips have surfaced which severely calls into question the credibility of former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
The clips also include one of Schiff saying he lacks credibility which deals a blow to Schiff as well.

According to Town Hall:
A deluge of old clips discrediting former national security adviser John Bolton are resurfacing—from Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) warning in 2005 that he lacks credibility to an August 2019 interview Bolton conducted regarding Ukraine policy, describing President Trump’s communications with President Zelensky as “cordial” and “warm” and discussing the administration’s priority of fighting “corruption” in the country, with no mention of any quid pro quo.
While the latter video prompted Trump to declare victory, there’s one more that further discredits Bolton.
During a 2010 interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox Business, Bolton admitted he’d be willing to lie to protect U.S. national security.
Judge Napolitano pushed further, asking Bolton why people in government believe rules do not apply to them. Bolton answered:
“Because they are not dealing in the civil society we live in under the Constitution,” he answered. “They are dealing in an anarchic environment internationally where different rules apply.”
Democrats want Bolton to testify but Mitch McConnell seems to think he has the votes to block witnesses. This new information could help solidify the GOP against witnesses.
