1. Bolton’s book was obviously timed for maximum impact & sales. Having written 8 books, I can tell you that it’s extraordinary that an author could complete a book in about 2 months and the published release it in 3-4 months.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 27, 2020
2. In approximately 6 months since departing the White House, Bolton’s book will be in bookstores.
And now the litigation strategy makes sense. First, he went to court to seek a judge’s opinion on whether he could testify in the House.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 27, 2020
3.Then, he does an about face, announcing through counsel that he’s available to testify should the Senate ask him. Therefore, he sought to delay any testimony while still writing his book, but after he completed it - submitted it for NSC review, he became available for the trial— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 27, 2020
4. And he became available because he knew he’d be criticized for holding back his allegations until the book’s release. Moreover, the strategy also maximizes publicity for the book. The cover of the book is presently highlighted on Drudge and through the media.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 27, 2020
if you think about it, Bolton is pretty much professionally screwed. For decades, he was a thorn in the side of the left in so many respects. Now no one on the right likes him, either.
Basically he’s a man with a distinguished pedigree who literally has no way to make a living.
That’s the context in which to look at his actions.
Bolton should be toast now. He’ll have his millions for his book, so he should be set. But, who would ever hire him except for CNN and MSNBC?
