Seriously, you can't make this sh*t up.
Yes, the two-hander was what made it odd.

I'm sure Bolton struggled with decision. Even so I've no doubt Barr would have done everything in his power to prevent him from testifying anyway.What doesn't make sense is why did he not testify! Bridges are well and truly alight so he had nothing to lose. If he had then it would have made a sensational book. As he didn't many people will think why should I pay you to have a copy of what you should have said to Congress under oath. He saved it for a book and that doesn't help anyone.

Even in the unlikely event he'd been allowed to testify, Bolton would have been totally discredited and destroyed by a bunch of GOP liars. He would likely have ended up spending his dying days trying repair to what was left of his reputation.
At least with his book he gets to tell the story his way and see where the chips fall.
I still believe GOP lawyers would have had him tied in knots claiming National Security implications. Any testimony behind closed doors would never see the light of day in the court of public opinion, and GOP senators would still have voted along party lines.All he had to do was turn up. He might have had to testify behind closed doors but that just adds credibility. The GOP would have tried to take him down but he is a longstanding GOP hawk. It would not wash with him. It would have made him where as this book will always have 'should have testified' hanging over it.
Paging @Dax777, again, what are your views now?By the way, the only way to test the drug is to give it to people... There are no other ways. It's been tested in vitro and was effective. Some anecdotal evidence from abroad also suppor the claim that it might be useful.
We have patients dying daily by the hundreds in New York. And the reason why NYC signed up for a Trial to test, use and to be the first in line to get the drug.had nothing to do with anything Trump said. I
It had to do with what Dr's and Scientist from other regions (Belgium, China, Italy, Malaysia) recommended regarding the drug that tipped the scale. Not to mention continued anecdotal evidence of it being somewhat effective.
This answers it pretty well by George Conway:What doesn't make sense is why did he not testify! Bridges are well and truly alight so he had nothing to lose.

Essentially he wanted to testify, said so, but miscalculated that enough Republican senators would vote to subpoena him (assuming they'd be true to their oath) - big mistake.This answers it pretty well by George Conway:

The choke hold is banned unless the officer thinks their life is at risk,like the officer did when he shot the guy in the back..no mention of kneeling on necksMmm, the order is to pay for better training, it bans chokeholds, and requires information to be provided.
He's just claimed there is an AIDS vaccine
12-14 up nationally on those two and up 17 on the key battleground states.
sidenote that Rasmussen poll is a favourite of Trump’s and right leaning.
