Title, release date revealed for Bolton memoir
The Hill ^ | 01 26 2020 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 01/26/2020 8:26:20 PM PST by yesthatjallen

Former national security adviser John Bolton's forthcoming memoir is titled "The Room Where It Happened" and is scheduled to be released March 17, according to a posting for the book that went live Sunday night.

The new details emerged hours after The New York Times reported a manuscript of the book contained details about an August exchange where President Trump told Bolton he would not lift a freeze on security aid for Ukraine until the country agreed to assist in investigations into his political rivals. The book's release could be affected if the White House attempts to block publication of certain aspects on the grounds that it contains classified material.

The New York Times reported Sunday evening that Bolton writes in the manuscript of "The Room Where It Happened" about an August meeting with Trump in which the president said he wanted to continue a freeze on nearly $400 million in security aid for Ukraine until the government there agreed to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democrats.

The revelation in the book directly contradicts the White House's insistence that the president did not explicitly connect the security aid and investigations.

A lawyer for Bolton on Sunday accused White House officials of leaking details of the forthcoming book after it was submitted to the National Security Council's Records Management Division to review its contents for classified information on Dec. 30, a standard practice for former government officials writing books.

Actually hope there will be witnesses. Trump’s lawyers will get Bolton to admit that there was legitimate evidence and concern that there was ongoing corruption in the Ukraine and that the Ukraine tried to influence the 2016 election to ensure a Clinton administration that would not investigate. Then Trump’s lawyers can go aggressively after Hunter Biden and Paul Pelosi to demonstrate the corruption to the American people. Even let Guliani testify and tell what he knows of the corruption. At the end Trump will be acquitted and Pelosi will resign. Biden is already dead man walking.

I agree, but these people know the Democrat candidate has no chance to win so they’ll pull out all the stops. What other options do they have? I think they’re fully aware the president is two steps ahead of them and he’s holding all the aces in this high stakes game of political poker!

"Drafts of the book outline the potential testimony of the former national security adviser if he were called as a witness in the president’s impeachment trial."

Bolton is a liar. His writings will be to cover his own tracks.

Obviously a politically motivated lie. Ukraine had already reopened the investigation 4 months before the famous call.

I hope Greg Gutfeld does the right thing and impeaches John Bolton as president of Red Eye.

I can hardly wait to see how the Trump Curse manifests itself in this situation. Should be fun. Is it wrong of me to feel so giddy?

This sounds like the same circular reporting by Sid Blumenthal and friends that landed the Steele Dossier in every news outlet. [Note that Sid Blumenthal hates Bolton with a passion.]

Only this time the seed article is an article that was unsourced and unverified, yet published anyway.

Great publicity for book sales...hope lots of liberals spend their money tilting at this windmill.
