John Bolton’s new book will allege Trump misconduct with other countries

He is a PNAC far righty who the slightest bit of investigation would prove how dangerous his beliefs are. He is right in there with Bush and the neocons.
Sarte said do not bother seeking advice. You already have a very good idea of what they will say before you select him. Ask a priest and he will say what priests say. Trump selected Bolton as an adviser. We all knew what he stood for. That was why so many objected.

Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton’s long-delayed book will reportedly allege that President Donald Trump’s corruption of American foreign policy went beyond his attempts to shake down the Ukrainian government for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

According to Axios, Bolton’s book will argue that there was “Trump misconduct with other countries” besides Ukraine, although the publication’s source did not go into specifics about which countries are involved.

Trump’s attempts to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Biden by putting a hold on its military aid led to him being impeached on abuse of power charges in the House of Representatives last year.

In addition to its revelations about Trump’s foreign policy, the book will accuse Trump of violating the Constitution in his efforts to block publication of his former national security adviser’s book.

In the prologue, Bolton writes that Trump directed “the seizure and withholding of my advisers’ personal and other unclassified documents” while also making “outright threats of censorship.”

“His reaction thus ranged from the mean-spirited to the constitutionally impermissible,” Bolton concludes.

Sources close to Trump tell Axios that they are particularly worried about Bolton’s book because he is such a detailed note taker who kept scores of yellow notepads filled with records and observations.

Absolutely. The problem with staff is that they all sign NDAs, which gives the WH the ability to classify everything. Which is probably why we won't see many of them until after January, but watching trump twist his panties into a knot over this is going to be gold.

Like ex RNC chair Michael Steele...I wouldn't give Bolton a nickel of my money. As Steele succinctly notes, Bolton had a chance to testify before the House, and refused.

What's going to be absolutely fascinating is the legal ramification of Bolton's actions. The WH obviously refused to allow the book to be released citing classified material within. Bolton was supposed to submit a transcript to the WH, but had his lawyer do so. Technically, this is an act that is punishable by law.

Bolton plans to release the book anyway, claiming that there is nothing classified in it. This is going to make the last few months of this election extremely interesting to watch.

The Room Where It Happened

What Bolton saw astonished him: a President for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation. “I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by reelection calculations,” he writes. Trump’s Ukraine-like transgressions existed across the full range of his foreign policy—and Bolton documents exactly what those were, and attempts by him and others in the Administration to raise alarms about them.

He shows a President who embraced our enemies and spurned our friends, and was deeply suspicious of his own government. “The differences between this presidency and previous ones I had served were stunning,” writes Bolton, who worked for Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. He discovered a President who thought foreign policy is like closing a real estate deal—about personal relationships, made-for-TV showmanship, and advancing his own interests.
