For his sake and the nation's sake, John Bolton needs to go on Fox this Sunday.

An interview with Chris Wallace is the only way for him to retain credibility in conservative circles which is, of course, centrally important to him.

If Bolton doesn't say anything before his book is published, everyone will hate him.

If he gives an interview to CNN or MSNBC or ABC or CBS (say 6O minutes) the right will will hate him.

Being interviewed this Sunday on Fox by Chris Wallace is his only chance for a viable political future.

1. Bolton won't show up on Fox this Sunday

Just my best guess. Because That will reduce the suspense of what is in his book,
and that will reduce sales of his book.

2. But I thought Hair Furor's WH had forbade its publication...

8. AFAIK White House is redacting classified material

in his book.

3. My thoughts

too. He and his publishers know that sales will be less. And he would be vilified in every way possible for going on any reputable news program. Even Wallace would suffer the consequences of letting him talk. You cannot shake the cult’s unwavering faith in their president. Also, Wallace has already taken a few hits recently, so he’s already damaged good to that bunch.

7. One can make the case that it would increase book sales.

After all, the Ukrainian portion is only one chapter. When everybody hears about Trumps explicit involvement in an illegal scheme, they would like to see more.

Or am I wrong?

4. Is he scheduled to be on Chris Wallace's show tomorrow?

That would be interesting.

6. No, he's not scheduled.

But if he thinks it though, he might suggest the interview to Wallace.

And I think Wallace and Fox would do it. Ratings trump Trump.

5. If he gets a book -- any book -- published, I will not buy it. Not going

to put money in his pocket.
