Former national security adviser John Bolton at a private event on Thursday defended the officials who testified in the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

The former national security adviser defended former National Security Council senior director for Europe and Russia Fiona Hill, former top National Security Council aide Tim Morrison, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, Bill Taylor, the former top U.S. diplomat to Ukraine and former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, the outlet reported.

Before, Bolton was hired by the Trump WH, I'd watch him on FOX or FOX business and he was supportive of the President. We will have to see how this all goes. I'm not calling him a backstabber though, to me, this is all disagreeable what he did.
Again, my personal view, he sees how we treat NK, Iran, perhaps Russia too, with kid gloves where as Bolton would likely drastically deal with them so this is a bit of his way to lash back. I don't really think he sees some great moral dilemma in all of this. Just my opinion.
