Bolton book should be included in an Omarosa, Stormi et al full Series, that should be entitled ‘The President Who Made Me Rich’
The common sense, lawyerly-minded Mark Levin has totally upset the apple cart of ‘Roads to Riches’ John Bolton in a single Tweet:
“Question to Romney, Collins, & Murkowski: if John Bolton had evidence of an actual quid pro quo or impeachable offense, why didn’t he immediately report it to Congress or criminal authorities or ethics officials; or why didn’t he go public immediately with a press conference?”
I’m sure Bolton will either:
1) Never answer that question directly or
2) Have some “reason” that’s more accurately defined as an “excuse”
“...why didn’t he go public immediately with a press conference?”
~~~
Yep. The answer gets more obvious the more you use deduction and eliminate possibilities.
If he really had something damning even slightly above the level of salacious or sensationalist, and even if before he didn’t do ‘the right thing’ and come out with it, NOW would be the perfect time to do it, with the impeachment hearings going on, and the book sales likely to go up later because of it.
He can’t come out and say he has real dirt on the issue, because he will be bit in the arse hard by it later when it’s not in the book... and it can’t be in the book because putting a lie in print is far more libelous than hinting at it.
So his only move to keep his book sales alive is to let the media do the hinting and slandering.
Meanwhile, the dems will pull every available string to extend impeachment while they conjure up the next “wild card.”
Bolton did go public in August 2019 with the “Game Over” interview. He told the truth then.
He DID report it to Congress.
He told Adam Schitt and Pelosi. They kept it on the down-low, to be used just like the “anonymous” letter from Ballsy-Ford to Feinstein over the Kavanaugh Hearing.
This was part of the reasons why she delayed bringing the articles to the Senate, in order to get Bolton’s book to Vindman’s brother and then Maggie Haberman of the New York Slimes.
It was going to be the “Witness Surprise” that the 4 RINOs would bend to, just like Jeff the Flake did.
I used to like John Bolton.
How dare Trump succeed on foreign policy without funding the parasites of Washington? So many experts have made billions by not getting anywhere? How dare Trump not follow their business model?!
Bolton took a shot at the king... and missed.

Correct.
The Game.
Is Over.
Unsmoking gun.
A lot of people, such as Bolton, who found themselves in a position that they thought was On High in the Trump administration thought that he was a zero, a cipher whom they could fill and control. When it became clear that they would not be able to Grasp the Ring of Power that they desired, they rebelled like Rebel Angels, and thereafter sought to bring him down.
Amazing how these people out themselves.
Oh great! Another helping of ‘Ratz Surprise.

Bolton’s Book Gig is upThe common sense, lawyerly-minded Mark Levin has totally upset the apple cart of ‘Roads to Riches’ John Bolton in a single Tweet:
“Question to Romney, Collins, & Murkowski: if John Bolton had evidence of an actual quid pro quo or impeachable offense, why didn’t he immediately report it to Congress or criminal authorities or ethics officials; or why didn’t he go public immediately with a press conference?”
Isn’t immediately going public on what he knew, what an honest, upstanding National Security Advisor would have done?
Wouldn’t a duty-bound National Security Advisor—like his sworn enemy the President is doing— have put the country first and his own outlandish ego second?
Instead Bolton waited for the most opportune moment—the Trump Impeachment Trial-to go all the way Omarosa.
“Omarosa Onee Manigault Newman, is an American reality television show participant, writer, and former political aide to President Donald Trump. She became widely known as a contestant on the first season of NBC’s reality television series The Apprentice.
After becoming assistant to the president and director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison during the Trump administration in January 2017, Newman resigned the White House on December 13, 2017.
“In August 2018, Newman published Unhinged, detailing her tenure at the White House and criticizing Trump and his administration. Two days before the book was released, she released the first of as many as 200 secret tapes she recorded during her White House tenure. As of 27 January 2020, she has released four tapes. The first tape she released, which was secretly recorded inside the Situation Room, was described as “one of the worst White House security breaches ever,”[1] though the tape is thought not to violate the Espionage Act.” (Wikipedia)
Bolton, in fact, has joined a long list of back-stabbing book writers who turncoat on administrations who paid their salaries, and other opportunists like adult dancer Stormi Daniels who wrote ‘Full Disclosure’.
Mark Levin’s full disclosure on the mustachioed Bolton is far more laudable.
“For Mark Levin, it’s not about bombshells. It’s about the bottom line. (Western Journal, Jan. 28, 2020)
“Liberals were still celebrating a conveniently timed story posted by The New York Times on Sunday night, just as the second day of President Donald Trump’s defense in his Senate impeachment trial was due to begin.
“But in a point-blank Twitter post that sounded like a conclusion to one of his own well-reasoned radio lectures, Levin asked one bottom-line question.
“If every word of this New York Times story is true, which I doubt as it’s another politically timed leak, how does this change anything?” Levin wrote.
If every word of this New York Times story is true, which I doubt as it’s another politically timed leak, how does this change anything? As a matter of FACT, there was no quid pro quo. And there’s still no evidence to the contrary. https://t.co/ivpSXilnIM

“There’s no denying those points. To call The Times story a “politically timed leak” is understating the case considerably. Liberals in the media, Democrats in the Senate and Bolton’s publishers could not have asked for better timing.
(In fact, it almost seems like it all could have been planned ahead of time for the express purpose of maximizing the damage of perception to the president — and maximizing publicity for Bolton’s book.)
“And as Levin noted, the Bolton story says nothing about the kind of “quid pro quo” Democrats harped on for so long.
Levin then dealt with the story from the standpoint few Americans share: An author of political works written for a mainstream market.
1. Bolton’s book was obviously timed for maximum impact & sales. Having written 8 books, I can tell you that it’s extraordinary that an author could complete a book in about 2 months and the published release it in 3-4 months.

2. In approximately 6 months since departing the White House, Bolton’s book will be in bookstores.
And now the litigation strategy makes sense. First, he went to court to seek a judge’s opinion on whether he could testify in the House.
— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) https://twitter.com/marklevinshow/status/1221823500765274116 “>January 27, 2020
3.Then, he does an about face, announcing through counsel that he’s available to testify should the Senate ask him. Therefore, he sought to delay any testimony while still writing his book, but after he completed it – submitted it for NSC review, he became available for the trial

4. And he became available because he knew he’d be criticized for holding back his allegations until the book’s release. Moreover, the strategy also maximizes publicity for the book. The cover of the book is presently highlighted on Drudge and through the media.

“While Bolton, a former national security advisor, was often mentioned as a potential subject of a subpoena from the House, Democrats bent on railroading through an impeachment vote couldn’t be bothered to take the time to fight the court battle that would have ensued over Congress attempting to infringe on the executive branch to that extent. (Western Journal)
“So when Bolton announced through his attorney in early January that he would be willing to testify in the Senate if served a subpoena, it was like the first shoe dropping. The second one was waiting — for the appropriate time, apparently.
“And on Sunday night it came, just when it was becoming clear to all just how badly the Democratic impeachment farce had gone over with the American public.
“Suddenly, Bolton was back in the news. And suddenly — as in the disgraceful case of the battle over the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh — Senate Democrats were celebrating a surprise development of dubious distinction.
“But Levin wasn’t buying it.
“In a separate thread, he got away from analyzing the aspects of political book publishing and got to the politics of the moment:
“The NY Times piece is aimed at the usual 4-6 Republicans who are constantly trying to make nice with the media & some of whom face tough re-election races,” he wrote. “But none of it had anything to do with impeachable offenses.”
“Do you think the Bolton story threatens President Donald Trump’s presidency?
And that is the final question.
Looking at Levin’s analysis of the timing of the book’s writing, Bolton’s initial reticence about testifying then his sudden willingness to do so, and considering that the “politically timed leak” came at the moment of maximum impact, it’s hard to see this latest development as anything but a continuation of the brutal, slimy tactics Democrats used during the Kavanaugh fight.
In the final analysis, none of it has to do with “impeachable offenses,” as Levin wrote.
And bombshells or no bombshells, that’s, in fact, the bottom line.”
Meanwhile, the Bolton book should be included in an Omarosa, Stormi et al full Series, that should be entitled ‘The President Who Made Me Rich’.
The gun is jammed. The mechanism is rusty.
Has CNN or MSNBC reported on the “Game Over” interview and tape? Has the Trump team played it in the senate trial? They should...
I’m curious how much Comey’s agent got for Bolton’s book advance. And who is paying for his literary lawyer now. I would assume it is the publisher.
Bolton is totally foolish to get himself caught up in a Democrat money laundering op. His career is over and he will despised by every person who does not write for National Review.
Has the Trump team played it in the senate trial? They should...
—
It would be easy to do.
Cruz can send up the question, what about the Game Over video (though if he uses those exact words Justice ObamaCare Roberts will probably have a transgender-level hissy fit, because he HATES when anyone criticizes his favorite political party)... and then the Trump legal team (best would be Sekulow) just gets up and plays the video.
Bolton contacted ultra-liberal Congressman Elliot Engle (D-NY) to have him look into the firing of Yovanovitch. That says it all.
