Exactly and Bolton should be forced to defend the facts in his book under oath!

I read this morning that the White House may now try to get a restraining order prohibiting Bolton from testifying.

But, of course, there is nothing to see here.

In fact, he had no idea what the Energy Dept. did, said he thought he was being asked to be an advocate for the oil industry.

Talk about unqualified.

He has disappeared from view lately. He was involved in this Ukraine debacle. Wonder if he'll be called to testify along with Bolton.

^^^ KaBoom!

Truth. It's hard for Trump to maintain the facade that he hires "the best people," when they leave his administration en masse and he feels compelled to trash them on the way out the door. Is Trump the worst hiring manager and judge of character in recorded history, or just a guy who lied about hiring the best and brightest?

On a related note, Trump can't really take credit for draining The Swamp™® if he fills the swamp before draining it.

Some of those "best people" will be watching the Super Bowl at the Grey bar hotel.

Gee, I wonder why trump didn't have the Biden's investigated under the normal procedures.

John Bolton signed his book deal the first week of November and had a completed manuscript y the last week of December .... that’s pretty amazing.

From the New York Times:

Mr. Bolton’s explosive account of the matter at the center of Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial, the third in American history, was included in drafts of a manuscript he has circulated in recent weeks to close associates. He also sent a draft to the White House for a standard review process for some current and former administration officials who write books.

Multiple people described Mr. Bolton’s account of the Ukraine affair.


Bolton’s Lawyer is clear that nobody saw this manuscript except the reviewer on the National Security Council.
Either the New York Times is lying or the Lawyer is lying. One thing is for sure ... whoever had the manuscript on the National Security Council is a leaker .... and now the White House knows who that is.

Could be one of these two people ... perhaps both.

1). In November, Yevgeny Vindman attended his brother’s public testimony at the House impeachment inquiry.
The Wall Street Journal described Vindman as “an NSC lawyer handling ethics issues.”

2). On Friday January 17th, 2020, the National Security Council senior director for European and Russian affairs, Andrew Peek, was escorted from the White House grounds and is currently under a security investigation.

Perhaps John Bolton is an angry, bitter man who would publish the private thoughts and conversations he was privy to of the President of the United States ... OR perhaps there was a plan in place to find leakers on the National Security Council.

If it were me - I would want it before trump makes them all look like fools.
The GOP are probably in back rooms right now voicing concerns about taking the facts of this "hit" immediately before their election.

And watch for the White House to try to delay or block publication of Bolton's book. Trump and the WH are in panic mode.
