Bolton's lawyer claiming that the court's ruling in McGahn's case does not apply to officials who advise on national security.

THREE TIMES the court said the ruling applies to officials who advise on national security.

#BoltonMustTestify
Bolton lawyer's claim is the Judiciary Committee told the court McGahn did not cover national security.

But what's more important:

DOJ told the court McGahn's position covered national security. The court said, okay, but that's irrelevant! Immunity does not exist regardless.
Bottom line: According to the court: #BoltonMustTestify

Bolton can wait it out. For that, the court said:

"The official’s defiance...substantially harms the national interest."
"Recalcitrant witnesses actually undermine the broader interests of the People of the United States."
