OK, I’m throwing up now. What, these people all lost jobs and are now trying to capitalize on their experience? How many more? And, who the hell will read them?
He skipped his deposition so he could have it all in the book. These people are unbelievable.

Criminal contempt of Congress. You don’t get to pick to publish a book and at the same time refuse to show up for a subpeona. Executive privelege needs to die. Plain and simple: any government or ex-government official that doesn’t comply with congressional testimony needs to be jailed. The argument for executive privelege is that advisors won’t get honest advice if they fear having to publicly air it…really? Does this actually happen? It hasn’t…it’s a made up privelege by DOJ/OLC.

It was predicted early on Bolton would reveal nothing damaging about trumPP but instead save it for a lucrative book deal. Someone will go through it, find the most damaging statements, and put them out there. That’ll be enough.

The publisher just took a $1 million bath, because unless he publishes tomorrow, everything that he might have to offer will be either old news or irrelevant by the time it comes out.

If the book is going to be published in September or so, it’s in Bolton’s interest Trump stay as President until then. Otherwise, the book is largely of historical interest only, and we know how much many Americans abhor history.

If Bolton really does have the goods on Chiselin’ Trump and fails to air them out in public soon enough to prevent Chiselin’ Trump from being re-elected, then it would serve him right if Chiselin’ Trump put him in prison, which he very well might do.

Until it’s decided by a court, executive privilege (pre Trump) is old and it’s not going anywhere in the future.

The mess that ‘45’ and his minions are putting out there, that needs to ‘burn up’ and soon.
