Report: Bolton’s Already Shopping Around For A Book Deal

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.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1248832

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?

He is a Republican, he can’t do anything that would not directly benefit him and him alone.

Like Trump, Bolton’s fidelity is not to country, but to himself. One of conscience would speak out directly now. Alas, they have no conscience.

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.

Casting Johnny “Kiss up Kick down” Bloaton as a hero is definitely casting counter to type.

Does Regnery Publishing have enough money to fund the slew of books that are going to come about the Trump Maladministration?

He’s a shit heel, but he hates Putin, so he’s our shit heel.

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.

I think Trump got rid of him so if he does bomb Iran Bolton won’t get the credit. It will be all Donnie’s doing.

And may all the Trump tell all books end up like this:

This was taken in 2011 during my Borders’ store closing. They were still left when the liquidators pulled the plug.

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”.
