Even Trump enemy John Bolton says the Atlantic Magazine article is total fiction: https://t.co/612oDyqTje— MARK SIMONE (@MarkSimoneNY) September 4, 2020

BREAKING: Several documents are missing from the Woods File for both the 2nd and 3rd renewal applications for Carter Page FISA warrant, and in lieu of some of the documents, the FBI inserted a piece of paper as a "placeholder" to represent the supporting document that is missing— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) September 4, 2020
Thanks for great info on Atlantic article.
It’s clear that a hater like Bolton would be gladly put these alleged comments in his book if he heard them. Since he didn’t add this to his book, he clearly never heard it.
Here’s the text from Bolton’s book debunking #FakeNews then and now:
“On Saturday, I went to the U.S. Ambassador’s residence, where Trump was staying, to brief him for his bilateral with [French President Emmanuel Macron]. The weather was bad and [former Chief of Staff John Kelly] and I spoke about whether to travel as planned to the Chateau-Thierry Belleau Woods monuments and nearby American Cemeteries, where many U.S. World War I were buried. Marine One’s crew were saying that bad visibility could make it imprudent to chopper to the cemetery. The ceiling was not too low for Marines to fly in combat, but flying POTUS was obviously something very different. If a motorcade were necessary, it could take between ninety and a hundred and twenty minutes each way, along roads that were not exactly freeways, posing an unacceptable risk that we could not get the President out of France quickly enough in case of an emergency. It was a straightforward decision to cancel the visit but very hard for a Marine like Kelly to recommend, having originally been the one to suggest Belleau Wood (an iconic battle in Marine Corps history). Trump agreed, and it was decided that others would drive to the cemetery instead.
The press turned canceling the military visit into a story that Trump was afraid of the rain and took glee in pointing out that other world leaders traveled around during the day. Of course, none of them were President of the United States, but the press didn’t understand that rules for US presidents are different from the rules for 190 other leaders who don’t command the world’s greatest military forces.”
