Former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s reportedly already looking to land a book deal on his experiences at the White House after his unceremonious ouster less than a week ago.
Can One of these fucks skip the book deal, and just come out in public like now with the fucking details while they are still relevant, instead of waiting months and trying to cash in?

Of course he is…it’s a good thing he’s not still there, we’d already be bombing Iran right now, with him pushing hard and using disinformation against Trump to make it happen. Trump did at least one thing right in firing Bolton, which doesn’t really make up for hiring him in the first place, and allowing him to trash the relationship with Iran and push us close to involvement in Venezuela. Bolton probably has plenty of things to “dish” about Trump’s maladministration, but I’m sure he’ll leave out the parts where he’s a big chunk of what is wrong with the administration and Republican policies in general.
I hope he gets it out quickly. Trump will challenge it based on the NDA Bolton signed and that will take at least a few weeks in the court. Ideally if it can make it to the public 4-6 weeks ahead of the election it would be optimal.
Bolton’s probably going to look for maximum impact -both in terms of book sales and electoral effect on Trump -with a release timed for about September, 2020. He does come across as a vindictive sort.
Good point. He’s mercenary enough to jump to help a Dem if he thinks they’ll be a better shot than Trump, who has failed to step up to any enemy whose last name isn’t “Clinton”.
