Former National Security Advisor John Bolton and his book publisher are denying they coordinated with journalists to leak a copy of his forthcoming book, which contains an allegation that President Donald Trump confessed to stalling Ukraine aid to force investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden.
The disclosure of that claim in a Bolton book manuscript whose details were leaked to the New York Times boosted Democratic hopes to call witnesses in Trump’s impeachment trial. Trump denied the reported claim.
A statement distributed by longtime Bolton aide Sarah Tinsley denied any “coordination” in releasing the claim.

Wow we sure got taken for a ride here on FR going back in 10, 15 years of archives. He was an icon.
Trump would have to fire EVERYONE in DC every single person in DC hates Trump and want him gone what the hell is he supposed to do!!! If I were a Trump I would split up the entire government and start transferring their asses to places like Alaska, Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota if they don’t want to transfer then LEAVE !!! It would be the ONLY way to downsize the government AND drain the swamp!!!!
Bolton has NEVER seen a war that he didn’t like Trump policy is the complete opposite of this, Bolton overstepped his bounds and did not want to follow the POTUS policies as did the entire DC SWAMP!!!!
Of course he’s a liar about what Trump said, because a few days after Trump supposedly said this, he met with Zelensky, (Morrison & other were there & confirm it) and Bolton said nothing about it; didn’t ask if any investigations were underway, that the aid was being held up until they made a public announcement of investigations.
But his publisher may be telling the truth, Vindamn’s brother at the NSC who reviews books to insure national security isn’t at risk from what someone may write - that POS leaked it. The Vindman’s, the whistle blower, Schiff, all conspired, cooked up this plot to get Trump.. Schiff belongs in jail
I still like Bolton as UN Ambassador or Foreign Relations advisor. If you ever want a bulldog to communicate US policy to foreign governments he IS your man. So far I have not seen anything that indicates that he was rogue against President Trump. — But I can easily see that they would differ in thinking. Trump loves to use economic sanctions and Bolton prefers combat as the most effective foreign policy mechanism.
At least that has been my opinion based on having no Insider information to counter that opinion
Love your comment! Good one...
They most certainly coordinated.
Not putting words in Levin’s mouth, be he documented a timeline of events that make coordination a virtual certainty.
Interesting how Bolton has upstaged this days Senate Trial.....right out of the Dems playbook.

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.
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.

A pre-order page for Bolton’s book, “The Room Where It Happened,” appeared on Amazon soon after The Times’ story came out on Sunday.
Yeah. The jackass gave Schiff plenty of oxygen.
But ultimately, Bolton’s BS won’t matter. He’ll be recorded as the lying, bitter bastard. And Trump will easily prevail.
Thank you, maggief.

*****************************************
He’s now one of the DemocRATS’ USEFUL IDIOTS - nothing more.
My Indexed thoughts for historical reference—
1. Bolton is not a guy who would ever give “advice” to a president that he/she wants to hear unless he actually believes that the advice he is giving is in fact his considered opinion.
2. Bolton is well known for voicing his opinions “aggressively and in your face” and will flat out tell you if he thinks you are wrong on anything
3. Bolton understand the world and how things work in the “real world”.
4. Bolton would rather err on the side of overwhelming military force rather than risk not having enough force. In other words any option that is calculated as being the minimum force necessary to accomplish a task will never be a good option in his eyes. — For example if you think you can get the job done sending one soldier to knock on the door and kindly ask the suspected terrorist to kindly surrender himself to your custody for a quick interview and interrogation to determine if the suspected terrorist is a threat or not.... — he would rather send in a full battle rattle SWAT team cordon off the entire city just in case to avoid escape and then capture or kill (if faced with resistance) the suspected terrorist.... hypothetical analysis of course.
Comments? thoughts?
That being said I think he is making a mistake if he thinks that he can leak any contents of internal discussions or debates he has with the President during his term and in any official capacity as National Security Advisor or any Official capacity for that matter.
LIARS
All this Bolton horse crap is not going to change the outcome
Not sure that is the intent.
The intent may well be to promote his sales which would otherwise be low.
These publishers are ruthless when bringing out a book and will do anything to promote the sale.
Also, now Boltonus will be a hot item on the MSM circuit, promoting the book further.
Yes, why publish a book now except to help the Democrats?
Noted: Just watching Alan Dershowitz testimony. I appreciate his “shoe on the other foot” analogy applied to the constitutional vagueness of the “Abuse of Power” and “Obstruction of Congress” articles. After hearing that argument ANY democrat who still supports the Articles of impeachment should they themselves be impeached for a High Crime.
What is it with these people! The President let him go and said nothing! But they I guess feel they know best. So they want to get back at our President. Just like Hillary, Mittens, and now Bolton. Can’t these people just accept it like us lose our jobs. We just go on and find another one!
But then on the other hand someone is paying them behind the scenes. Possibly the Soros Foundation!
I knew this kind of thing had happened at some ping lists regarding astronomical, earth science, and anthropology issues and information, but was not aware of these other zottings.
