“Helped Plan Coups,” Ex US National Security Adviser John Bolton Admits
WASHINGTON: Former US national security adviser John Bolton admitted on television on Tuesday that he had helped plan a coup in other countries, while arguing that the riots on January 6, 2021 in Washington were less than these efforts.
The attack on US capitol is the result of President Donald Trump “only stumbled from one idea to another,” Bolton told Jake Tapper CNN.
“As someone who has helped plan a d’Tat coup, not here, but, you know, other places, a lot of work takes,” he said.
BOLTON – who served as Trump’s national security advisor from 2018 to 2019 – did not determine which government he had helped to be overthrown, but while in his position, he recommended US military intervention in Venezuela.
January 6 is “not an attack on our democracy. Donald Trump is looking for Donald Trump. This is an event once in a lifetime,” Bolton said.
“In the end, he did release the rioters in the capitol. Regarding that matter, there was no doubt. But not to overthrow the constitution, to buy more time, to get rid of the problem back to the state, to try and repeat this problem,” he added.
An eagle shamelessly, Bolton served in the Department of Justice and the US State during the three Republican governments, starting with Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.
He served as US ambassador to the United Nations under former President George W. Bush, and for decades had been recognized by his large white mustache.
Bolton did not repent encourage the US invasion to Iraq and had voiced support to bomb Iran and North Korea – the interventionist approach to foreign policy which made him disagree with Trump, which fired him in 2019.
Bolton’s comments about the riots of January 6 came when the Congress Committee worked to determine whether Trump or his colleague had a role in planning or encouraging a violent rebellion that killed at least five people and 140 police officers were injured.
On Tuesday, MPs said a tweet by President Trump at that time promised the January 6 “wild” general meeting was seen as “calling to arm” by members of the right -wing militia group and other presidential supporters who then attacked the US in the US Capitol.
