Mark Levin Offers to Cut Ties with Simon & Schuster over John Bolton Book
Breitbart ^ | 17 Jun 2020 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 06/17/2020 7:05:46 PM PDT by conservative98

Conservative radio host and bestselling author Mark Levin said Wednesday that he had asked publisher Simon & Schuster to release him from his contract over the company’s decision to publish John Bolton’s forthcoming book.

Bolton’s tell-all book about President Donald Trump, The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, will go on sale Tuesday — unless the Department of Justice (DOJ) succeeds in its effort to stop its publication over concerns that Bolton has revealed classified information. The DOJ is also reportedly considering criminal charges against Bolton.

In the book, Bolton provides his account of working as the Trump administration’s National Security Adviser for nearly 18 months, and complains about the way the president conducted foreign policy.

In his radio show Wednesday, Levin ripped Bolton, claiming he had not only betrayed Trump, but undermined the office of the presidency.

He compared Bolton to Benedict Arnold, who committed treason against the United States by defecting to the British in the American Revolution.

Levin added that he was so outraged by Bolton’s decision to publish the book that he was dropping Simon & Schuster as his own publisher.

"I’ll be honest with you. His publisher is Simon & Schuster. Simon and Schuster has a conservative unit within its corporate structure called Threshold Books. And that’s who I’ve written for, every book except Men in Black. And I sent a message into Simon & Schuster that I would prefer if they would give me [sic] my advance back for my next book and allow me to pick another publisher. So far, crickets. So far, I haven’t heard anything."

Levin also said that Bolton had previously begged him and Fox News’ Sean Hannity to lobby the Trump administration on his behalf because he wanted to be National Security Advisor.

John Bolton has never met one of your sons and daughters that he didn’t want to die in a war he started.

Bolton does not appear to be sane. Inventing conversations, accusing others of leaking when he was the prime suspect, and basically acting like a child having a tantrum. No wonder he didn’t last.

I think he threw all in with the Deep State because like many of them they’re not concerned with the American people knowing how much they SOLD OUT for, but they’re worried about us knowing who they SOLD OUT to! I guarantee Mr. Bolton’s number is on the phones of some treacherous people he would rather keep secret.

It is Highly Unlikely S&S will do as Mark Levin has requested. Levin’s books sell to actual readers. And, sell very well. Given this, Levin is using this fact to put pressure on S&S to drop Bolton who is quickly becoming a pariah on both sides of the political aisle and whos book is looking likes it’s DOA.

Bolton is a warmonger in the true sense of the word. He admits to lying in order to start wars.

Bolton the Demon

It would not surprise me if he was a mastermind behind the Pandemic reaction in some way, I wouldn't put it past him, he's that kinda guy

If he devoted an entire show to denouncing BLM, that should get him the boot.

I think we are getting down to months, not years, that we can coexist with the criminal immoral repugnant left.
