Reporters, what do you think this is, a deepfake? Do you think you can get things removed that you find inconvenient by filing false reports?

Reuters, 2022: Former senior U.S. official John Bolton admits to planning attempted foreign coups

"I'm not going to get into the specifics," Bolton said, before mentioning Venezuela. "It turned out not to be successful. Not that we had all that much to do with it but I saw what it took for an opposition to try and overturn an illegally elected president and they failed," he said.

"I feel like there's other stuff you're not telling me (beyond Venezuela)," the CNN anchor said, prompting a reply from Bolton: "I'm sure there is."

John Bolton. I only want to hear from this guy if he's on the witness stand. I can't believe he still gets interviews.

How's he going to do that? He isn't part of the government anymore, is he?
