Feds May Try To Block Publication Of Bolton Tell-All And Bring Criminal Charges | Talking Points Memo

President Trump shouldn’t worry that yet another insider tell-all book will make him look stupid, uninformed, bigoted, vindictive and lawless. We’ve gotten all of that already from his press conferences.

Yeah, but even if he exits through a window, he can only take a few copies with him.

It’s too late, baby. It’s too late.

Trump and William Barr are rapidly proving that the Department of Justice is about anything but Justice.

Trump won’t remember any part of it anyway. His little brain is turning to mush.

Yeah, good luck with that, unless we want to really live out Fahrenheit 451.

Jeff Merkely joins the chorus of voices who say that Bolton could have helped save the country earlier if he had agreed to testify. As it stands now, he is no patriot.

I honestly don’t think Bolton cares. I think that’s the problem with most republicans out there right now. They pledge allegiance to the almighty dollar and little else.

Most of the juicy details in Peter Baker’s reporting are just more of what we already know. Trump is easily manipulated by authoritarians and staffers alike. He doesn’t strike anyone as a policy genius. People who deal with him respectfully face-to-face trash him behind his back. His failings are an open secret on Capitol Hill. The only things he spends any time thinking about are how to save face, profit from office, and cheat at winning elections. In the meantime, he’s let everything go to hell and fucked up everything a person can fuck up. So he can abuse his powers all he wants to get the book stifled, but the secret that he is not a great president seems to be getting out anyway.

Hell I wouldn’t have cared if they arrested Hillary, in the interest of discrediting themselves, I’d be thrilled if they arrested Bolton.

My feeling as well. He could have made a difference for his country, he choose to cash in instead like the republican whore he is.

I’m not a Bolton fan, but I hope he fights them every step of the way. This is attempted suppression of free speech.
