Bolton book claims Trump committed other 'Ukraine-like transgressions'- Sure, Now he tells us

What is this? Bolton could have said something a long time ago. Instead, he waits until his book release and we have to buy the book to find out what other Trump transgressions have been committed ?

Am I reading this wrong? Because it sure looks like he wasn't willing to say a word to save this Democratic Republic from the scourge of Trump until he could make a profit from it and after it's too late. Am I missing something?

"New York publishers Simon & Schuster boasted: “This is the book Donald Trump doesn’t want you to read.”"

You know what, Simon & Schuster? I don't live my life based on what Donald Drumpf does or doesn't want me to do and I don't give a fuck anymore about what Bolton has to say.

He played all coy about possibly testifying in the Impeachment hearings in the House or Senate but didn't ever commit and now he wants to try to act like a savior?! Eff him. Seriously. And then he had the cajones to tell Democrats that they messed up on Impeachment even though he apparently had information he refused to share?! Eff him again.

I hope no one wants to read his book. He's sure looks like a Trump loyalist who kept secrets until he thought he'd get paid for them through book sales.

A friend of mine were sort of debating about this this morning. What's in the book could definitely hurt Trump's chances further in November and that the Republicans would never have convicted/removed Trump even if this had all come out during the Impeachment process (though the weight of additional evidence may have made that more difficult for them), but Bolton is still being opportunistic AF and pretty much just cashing in his chits at the end of the day.

Michael Steele, Nicole Wallace, and another guest on Wallace's show today. They figure they'll hear about the juicy parts, but they aren't going to buy the book when he could have testified about how trump has weakened US security.

He betrayed the American people by not testifying before Congress. He had important information. He is not a patriot.
