Either that or the NY Times will make up a “leak” or an “anonymous source”.

I’m betting that Bolton is up to his neck in Ukrainian corruption.

So if the Senate does want witnesses, and if they do call Bolton — how much would he be allowed to say?

Stupid. This just hypes up book sales for a nothingburger written by a neocon war criminal.

No, this is just the routine letter you get when the people who review your manuscript decide it contains classified info.

The letter, which is dated January 23

So 2 days after he gets told no, the book is leaked to the New York Times? Well, isn't that special?

There is no threat. It’s a standard “while reviewing your book we found their are substantial amounts of secret and top secret information that nee to be looked at” letter.

Seems not one member of the house or senate cares about how that news got to the NYT. Color me shocked. /S

“sources familiar”

Lies. More lies from unnamed sources. This is all that CNN can do.

Post inflammatory lies.

I’m sure one of the Vindmen sisters will leak it then.

There's already strong suspicion of that. From two days ago...

A source close to the Trump administration informs Breitbart News that Army Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, a senior ethics lawyer for the National Security Council (NSC), is in charge of reviewing all publications by current and former NSC officials.

Yevegeny Vindman is the identical twin brother of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who is one of Democrats’ key witnesses in the impeachment of President Donald Trump. The brothers have offices across from each other.

The Wall Street Journal described Vindman as “an NSC lawyer handling ethics issues.” Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman described his brother as the “lead ethics official” at the NSC. A U.S. Office of Government Ethics web page, updated on Friday, identifies Yevegeny Vindman as the “Alternate Designated Agency Ethics Official” for the NSC.

Bolton attorney Charles Cooper wrote that "On December 30, 2019, I submitted, on behalf of Ambassador Bolton, a book manuscript to the National Security Council’s Records Management Division for standard prepublication security review for classified information."

Sources have said it went to Vindman's brother for review and clearance.

If there are witnesses, the GOP needs to call Vindman, Biden Jr and Biden Sr. Rip them a new airway and show the world what slugs they are.
