I have a little more info on Melody Townsel. When asked to explain why she did not bring allegations against Bolton during any of his previous confirmation hearings, Townsel claims she was “too busy” raising her children and had stepped out of politics.

However, during the time Townsel claims she devoted to raising her children, she was in fact working for the very large public relations firm Ogilvy. She was so committed to her work that she became a senior VP and collected more than 1.5 billion "impressions" for the company. In addition, Townsel worked on “whistleblower” issues for the Androvett Legal Media and Marketing firm and ran her own firm, Townsel Communications.
