A lawyer for Bolton on Sunday accused White House officials of leaking details of the forthcoming book

Boltons' lawyer is blaming a White House leak to the New York Times.

Some leaks to the New York Times are more equal than others.

Because Trump would not acquiesce to ‘forever wars’, bolton will now take his shot at the King. And as with all the rest it will fail miserably.

I guess to preempt the book. Get potentially damaging info out of the way early.

That Bolton’s lawyers are kvetching is simply the cherry on top of the sundae.

If I had to guess, I would say this leak is from Team Trump to ensure that the Senate will vote to require witness testimony.
Once that bridge has been crossed we could see testimony from the Ukraine Ambassador and others who have a lot to hide in this whole thing.

The President is legally required to investigate corruption in countries to which we are planning to give taxpayer funded foreign aid.

I once thought Bolton could add usefully you the administration. A very smart fellow. But he has to learn to deal with facts and not just suppositions.

And the aid was released because the president listened to his advisors. Lol. There are lots of things I want to do and even talk about doing, but I don’t do them because I can’t or shouldn’t. Big deal. No pressure was put on by the president. The aid was released with zero strings. Blah blah blah

Bolton is the king of Neocons...they love perpetual wars and the campaign cash which comes in from the military-industrial complex. President Eisenhower who was high ranking military general as well, warned the country to be wary of the M-I-complex.

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

And the actual phone transcript of Trump’s call proves that the president did not explicitly connect the security aid and investigations, contradicting the unconfirmed “revelation”

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.

John Bolton is becoming the mustached porn version of Michael Avenatti.

"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?
