Rachel Maddow nails the bottom line. "If the statements are so untrue in Bolton's book why would Trump use the argument (among others) the book should be prohibited from publication because it contains classified information. Even thought Bolton has had the book signed off by top security officials.
Trump is trying to claim all conversations in his presence are classified. Good luck with that one Trump.
You are the President of our Country. The PRA (Presidential Records Act) establishes guidelines for making all words and writings of a President to be logged into historical records for the public to possess. This was created after Richard Nixon tried to turn his White House into a mafia family.
This is not a hard situation to see for what it is. Trump's dismal response to the CoronaVirus, his manipulated impeachment, his 19,000 lies, and his lifetime record of cheating, etc all adds up to a very bad ending for him.
Early snippets from Bolton's book reveal what is described as a mountain of self-serving acts where Trump put himself before Americans, violated the Constitution, and "many more acts even more loathsome than Trump's attempted extortion of Ukraine. Bolton says the Democrats impeachment was too "narrow of scope". And, he describes Trump as incompetent.
Many criticize Bolton for not stepping up last year during the impeachment. He could have held a press conference and told all. But, it's clear Bolton anticipated Trump's legal onslaught and maybe it was a wise choice to release a book to pay legal fees. Time will tell.
Bolton has rode into Dodge and become a hero.
Trump is now said to be "losing it" regarding the overwhelming evidence he will loose the 2020 election by a landslide.
Bolton's book is just another nail on the coffin of Trump's last days as a free man. The minute he steps out of office he will be slapped with charges stemming from the Mueller Report, and other investigations.
Good luck to him, trying to hide Bolton's words. Key Journalists already have manuscripts. Details will follow.
Trumptanic may just have slipped under the waves.
