John Bolton has 'liberated' his Twitter account and promises the 'backstory' of his firing

John Bolton is back... on Twitter.

The former national security adviser was apparently locked out of his government-tied account after what he claims was his resignation from the White House and what President Trump says was his firing. But as of Friday morning, he's back online and typing as many ellipses as his heart desires.

It's unclear if that's the backstory to his firing or just how he got kicked off social media — the former of which would be relevant to impeachment investigators, who he was recently reported to be willing to testify for.
