In his tell-all memoir finally set for publication later this month, former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton alleges that House Democrats failed to look at other transgressions made by the president that went beyond the scope of Ukraine during their impeachment inquiries last year.

Bolton accuses House Democrats of committing “impeachment malpractice” by limiting their investigation to Ukraine, according to a statement by the book’s publisher Simon & Schuster. They say Bolton alleges “Ukraine-like transgressions existed” in other foreign policy decisions as well.
The autobiographical account, titled, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” was originally scheduled for release on March 17 and but was then delayed until June 23 due at least in part to objections from the White House.
The book comes after the ex-Trump official refused to testify in the House’s impeachment investigation, and avoided divulging information regarding Trump’s efforts to apply pressure on Ukraine for help against political rivals. Instead, the former national security adviser, who resisted Trump’s push on Ukraine, took the investigations as an opportunity to make a not-so-coy plug for his book.
Bolton also alleges that Trump’s every decision was a calculated play for reelection — a concern that becomes increasingly evident in the lead-up to Election Day in November.
“I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by reelection calculations,” Bolton writes, according to his publisher.
The Trump campaign announced plans to restart in-person rallies amid ongoing concerns about the safety of large gatherings due to the risk of coronavirus infection, supplying — instead of masks which likely won’t be required at the event — a waiver for participants not to sue should they become infected at his upcoming rally in Tulsa.
So is he adjusting his glasses or showing the size of something?
Let’s not ever forget, this is John Bolton and his version of events.
In other news (that hasn’t been covered here but should be), Trump and Pompeo are threatening to sanction the judges of the International Criminal Court for daring to investigate the United States for war crimes in Afghanistan. We’re steadily ticking off the Rogue Regime checklist.
In retrospect, “Impeachment Malpractice” as alleged, could have possibly been avoided if someone with crucial information on Donnie’s varied transgressions had actually presented that information in a timely manner, like a true patriot.
Rather than someone trying to cash in on that knowledge by writing a book about it.
I don’t know which image is more predictable, John Bolton adjusting his glasses or Mark Zuckerberg wearing a grey T-shirt.
Big payoff for Bolton.
Will be a best seller because people buy it, or because folks with big bucks purchase the print run and then warehouse it?
