Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton claims to have privately told Attorney General William Barr last year that he was concerned the President was granting favors to the autocratic leaders of China and Turkey, The New York Times reported Monday, citing multiple people's descriptions of an unpublished draft manuscript by Bolton.

Barr told Bolton in response that he worried Trump had created the appearance of undue influence over two Justice Department investigations of companies in China and Turkey, which are traditionally independent inquiries, the draft manuscript says, according to the Times.

I agree.

Dump the manuscript into the public domain, President Trump.

“After this little Book Exclusive caper, no presidential administration in their right mind would allow John Bolton anywhere near the White House.”

I give you Mitt Romney. I give you Pence who still hasn’t fired Miss Williams from his staff. I give you Paul Ryan. I give you -any- member of the Bush wing of the GOP. He will be a hero to them. I give you Marco Rubio. I give you Fiorina.

He’s going to end up sitting on his front porch with a BB gun, yelling at kids to get off his lawn and shooting at squirrels.

Bolton’s sure proven it was a big mistake to select him. If he wasn’t in it to help the president then he should have declined the position. There’s no honor in betrayal.

Not a bombshell. Trump had policy disagreements with Bolton? Not a crime and not an impeachable offense.

This is a nothingburger. Let the NYT and CNN spin it all they want..

Democrats have no case.

GOP neocons always place their anti-Russia agenda above Trump’s presidency. If Trump can’t be their useful idiots, he is expendable.

Bolton’s strategy would work fine with marginal performers like Bush II or Obama. For a guy who thinks on his feet, and does ‘deals’ daily for his entire life....Bolton is useless.
