Flashback: Schiff Says John Bolton Has "Lack Of Credibility" As Resurfaced Video Clips Ruin 11th Hour Hail Mary

Several resurfaced clips concerning former national security adviser John Bolton reveal that Democrats, in particular Rep. Adam Schiff said his 11th hour impeachment messiah had a "Lack of credibility," and was prone to "Conspiracy theories" - and that Bolton thought there was nothing untoward about Trump's interactions with Ukraine.

"This is someone who's likely to exaggerate the dangerous impulses of the president toward belligerence, his proclivity to act without thinking, and his love of conspiracy theories," Schiff told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow during a March 22, 2018 appearance after Bolton was named national security adviser.

"And I'll, you know, just add one data point to what you were talking about earlier, John Bolton once suggested on Fox News that the Russian hack of the DNC was a false flag operation that had been conducted by the Obama administration," Schiff continued.

In another clip posted by Donald Trump Jr. from 2005, Schiff asks during the Bush administration "Why we would want someone" like Bolton "With that lack of credibility."

Mr. Bolton has been AWOL - he's been focused more on the next job than doing well at the last job - and particularly given the history, where we've had the politicization of intelligence over WMD. Why we would pick someone who the very same issue has been raised repeatedly - that is John Bolton's politicization of the intelligence he got on Cuba and on the other issues.

"As Fox News notes,"Then-Sen. Barack Obama, in 2005, echoed those arguments, calling Bolton "Damaged goods" whose appointment as ambassador means "We will have less credibility and ironically be less equipped to reform the United Nations in the way that it needs to be reformed."

"Now Schiff loves the guy - telling CNN on Monday that Bolton is"essential to the "Search for truth."
