John Weaver, who was dragged as a “political whore” for signing a lucrative lobbying deal with a state-owned uranium company in Russia despite years of insinuating that President Trump was being controlled by Vladamir Putin, has changed his mind and will not accept the gig:

Nothing is more vital to America & the world than dispatching @realDonaldTrump & his low travelers from the WH. While I fear the dangers of nuclear proliferation & know a stable uranium market is important to the USA's national & economic security — & experts urged this — — John Weaver (@jwgop) May 16, 2019

my laser focus is on 2020 & playing any role — major or minor — in ensuring Trump serves only 1 term. To allow anything to distract from that is a mistake. And I can recognize a mistake when I make it. My attorney has contacted Tenam this morning & informed them — John Weaver (@jwgop) May 16, 2019

I must reject this agreement. No funds were transferred, no actions taken. Now, I've got to get back to the barricades. Apologies for the momentary distraction. — John Weaver (@jwgop) May 16, 2019

LOL. Too late!
