John Bolton = Disgruntled former employee. The guy is a well-known warmonger who believes we should be involved in endless wars and should have US troops in the Middle East from here to eternity. Trump ain’t biting and Bolton is pissed.

Nothing to see here.

And it came out the same day the "pre-order" button came out for his book....

Donald Trump tweet

I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens. In fact, he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book. With that being said, the...

..transcripts of my calls with President Zelensky are all the proof that is needed, in addition to the fact that President Zelensky & the Foreign Minister of Ukraine said there was no pressure and no problems. Additionally, I met with President Zelensky at the United Nations...

...(Democrats said I never met) and released the military aid to Ukraine without any conditions or investigations - and far ahead of schedule. I also allowed Ukraine to purchase Javelin anti-tank missiles. My Administration has done far more than the previous Administration.

CTH article on the Bolton book leak

https://theconservativetreehou...k-times/#more-181961

snips:

The timing, purpose and narrative engineering here are transparent in the extreme.

Tonight the New York Times (Schmidt and Haberman) write an article claiming to have exclusively gained portions of a transcript of a John Bolton book manuscript that was given to the White House National Security Council for pre-publication review.

Of course The Times attempts to frame the narrative around the need for John Bolton to testify in the Senate Impeachment Trial… all too transparent in motive. Timed to work around the House fraud; impeachment article construction without Judicial review for subpoenas; and timed to bolster House managers’ unconstitutional demand for Bolton as a Senate witness

it is so obvious now. Always the same news sources and the very same reporters


However, setting aside the nothing-burger details of the book as leaked, the leak itself might now reconcile an earlier event.

Remember the issue a little more than a week ago when the National Security Council senior director for European and Russian affairs, Andrew Peek, was escorted from the White House grounds and is said to be under a security-related investigation?


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.
....

Here’s how it looks: Andrew Peek was a mole. A resistance spy sent into the Trump administration as part of the allied deep state resistance effort.

Meanwhile, the line for Trump’s rally tomorrow in Wildwood, NJ started forming yesterday morning.

^^^ Yeah, smart Dems. know that impeachment isn't about removing Trump (which takes 67 votes in the Senate) as much as it is about putting pressure on vulnerable Republicans in the Senate.


"... what's more likely for the Democrats this election: seizing the White House or the Senate? Remember that the economy is good and Trump strong, and, rightly or wrongly, people credit the commander in chief for the economy and often vote their pocketbooks.

Moreover, the current Democrat presidential frontrunners — Jumblin' Joe Biden and Bolshevik Bernie Sanders — aren't exactly inspiring confidence in the liberal establishment. On the other hand, 23 Republican Senate seats and only 12 Democrat ones are being contested.
It's simple math.

Doug Jones (D-Alabama)

I'm waiting to see if this guy votes with the party or not. He's hardly safe either way he votes, it's not like there will be 66+ votes on either side.

In fact, unless we(AL-R's) eff it up like we did last election(Roy Moore), he's toast. I won't vote for Jones regardless, I'd sooner write-in my cat.

how stupid can these senators be ?

the Bolton trick worked.

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...peachment-testimony/

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) on Monday joined Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) in expressing interest in hearing from former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton after the New York Times reported that a leak portion of his book claims President Donald Trump sought to tie aid to Ukraine to investigations.

“I stated before that I was curious as to what John Bolton might have to say. From the outset, I’ve worked to ensure this trial would be fair and that members would have the opportunity to weigh in after its initial phase to determine if we need more info,” she said in a statement. “I’ve also said there is an appropriate time for us to evaluate whether we need additional information —that time is almost here. I look forward to the White House wrapping up presentation of its case.”

Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) said Monday that, respectively, he believes it is “important” for former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton to testify in the Senate impeachment trial, and she thinks the leaks of Bolton’s upcoming book that may tie into the case “strengthen” the argument for calling him as a witness.

“I think with the story that came out yesterday, it’s increasingly apparent it would be important to hear from John Bolton,” Romney told reporters. “I, of course, will make a final decision on witnesses after we’ve heard from not only the prosecution but also the defense. But I think at this stage it’s pretty fair to say that John Bolton has a relevant testimony to provide to those of us who are sitting in impartial justice.”

Collins released a statement Monday that she is still in favor of witnesses at the trial. “The reports about Bolton’s book strengthen the case for witnesses and have prompted a number of conversations among my colleagues,” she said.

Democrats in sheep's clothing.
Mittens is the worst of the lot. He is the new John McCain.

Bolton's spox just released statement that says he has not released manuscript to anyone other than the NSC for review.

Which would indicate the leak, fake or real, would have to come from them. This is following the same format as was used to falsely get the FISA to spy on Trump, obviously.

Bolton's "manuscript was transmitted to the White House for prepublication review by the [National Security Council]," said Bolton adviser Sarah Tinsley. "The ambassador has not passed the draft manuscript to anyone else. Period." Bolton's lawyer, Charles Cooper, said in a statement "it is clear, regrettably, from The New York Times article published today that the pre-publication review process has been corrupted and that information has been disclosed by persons other than those properly involved in reviewing the manuscript."

It's a trick alright, what a coincidence, right?

So a Chinese National walks into the gallery and starts sneezing. How fast can Senators run?

Alexander and Yevgeny Vindman (Julio Cortez / Associated Press)

A source close to the Trump administration informs Breitbart News that Army Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, a senior ethics lawyer for the National Security Council (NSC), is in charge of reviewing all publications by current and former NSC officials.

The official added that Yevgeny Vindman could have seen former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s draft manuscript after it was submitted for prepublication review at the end of December.

How many times does the Left have to scream "WOLF" before the Republicans realize they're being played?

I think the duplicitous Left is overshadowed at times by the gullible Right.

^^^ I think the "right" you're referring to aren't really right.

Kind of smells like a trap to me, but not one sprung by the Democrats.

Glad to finally hear the Republicans laying out the Hunter Biden situation. So far, Pam Bondi is doing a good job on this long overdue subject.
I suspect the Biden's aren't the only ones practicing political patronage but to hear Uncle Joe spell it out so clearly on the video and then not hear much else kind of surprised me. The Clinton foundation graft is another barely disguised payoff scheme that nobody seems to talk about. At least not other politicians.
Maybe they're all nervous about the subject.
