The submittal is required by law.

I understand and agree that Bolton was required by law to submit a proposed book to the NSC for review. I should have been clearer in my comment. My point is why would Bolton submit his manuscript at this time, during impeachment and trial proceedings, when to do so allows the content to be deliberately distorted by Trump’s enemies? One reason may be that Bolton is such an enemy, but I need more evidence to make that conclusion.

If a president is removed from office via impeachment, is he eligible to run again? PDJT could pull together a kick-ass third party if the RATs are successful this time.

This seems to be a complicated issue. See this link regarding the various legal aspects of the Impeachment process.

Well lawfare is wrong. Sole power to try is sole power to try. There is no appeal from Senate removal, so they are the final authority on how they do it.

Moreover, any court can dismiss a case for failure to state a claim, or can find for a defendant under summary judgment because the evidence presented by the plaintiff if insufficient to prove a case or because the balance of the evidence is the in favor of the defense.
