John Bolton and publisher deny ‘coordination’ of book manuscript leak
NY Post ^ | Jan. 27, 2020

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton and his book publisher are denying they coordinated with journalists to leak a copy of his forthcoming book, which contains an allegation that President Donald Trump confessed to stalling Ukraine aid to force investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden.

The disclosure of that claim in a Bolton book manuscript whose details were leaked to the New York Times boosted Democratic hopes to call witnesses in Trump’s impeachment trial. Trump denied the reported claim.

A statement distributed by longtime Bolton aide Sarah Tinsley denied any “coordination” in releasing the claim.

I know. If it isn’t in the book, he should say so, now.

I heard on the news this evening that NYT now has a copy of the manuscript. They have a copy but the President doesn’t?

A recent National Security Advisor who doesn’t have the balls to rebuff the
NYT story is a turn coat.

A) I don’t trust the GOP Establishment. B) It is designed to hurt Trump in the next election - the GOP Senators would love to hang out with their old pal Biden. Wake up.

“All this Bolton horse crap”

That is beside the point. Bolton is looking to secure his place in history, garner attention, and make money from book sales.

Bolton’s betrayal of POTUS while he is under assault from a Stalinist impeachment trial is the final nail in the neocon movement. No republican will ever be elected again who supports neocon policies.

Shouldn’t Bolton have excised those guys before Trump fired him?

Fox News, for once, isn’t buying it a bit.

True, but it is not “beside the point”.

“Who else would have access to it then?”

In another thread someone said Bolton had submitted the draft to the NSC for review in December. That would be ... Trump’s NSC or at least it should be since he’s the boss. Not sure if true. Who knows? Leaks have plagued Trump since the beginning.

So it’s been officially denied.

That means it’s true.

Agreed. By letting the National Security Council survey the book, it was all but certain to be leaked. So it's either incompetence, stupidity, or neglect on Bolton's part anyway. And you can't convince me that he didn't think this would happen. I agree with Fleitz, Bolton needs to pull this book and not let it hit the newsstands until after the election.

I once had respect for Bolton, but no more. He's proven, to me at least, that he's a man of no character, no honor, whatsoever.
