Oh, he says "the House" committed malpractice, not his treason of not testifying.

https://www.mediaite.com/trump/breaking-john-bolton-book-claims-impeachable-offenses-across-full-range-of-trumps-foreign-policy/
.... ... contains a thorough accounting of Trumps transgressions.
From the release:
What Bolton saw astonished him: a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation. I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasnt driven by reelection calculations, he writes. In fact, he argues that the House committed impeachment malpractice by keeping their prosecution focused narrowly on Ukraine when Trumps Ukraine-like transgressions existed across the full range of his foreign policyand Bolton documents exactly what those were, and attempts by him and others in the Administration to raise alarms about them.

(5,544 posts)This is a crime by Bolton.
If you have evidence of crime and refuse to bring it forward when specifically demanded, then you are implicated.
I hope he sells one copy of his book that is widely quoted and that the rest can go moldy on the shelf.
Fuck this Guy.

(56,829 posts)and the evidence was incredibly damning - which it seems to be - he would have had millions of Democrats buying his book.

(42,635 posts)He/She/They clearly understood that Trump was unfit to be president, but instead of doing anything that could remove him from office, they wrote an op-ed wanting accolades for occasionally nudging him away from his very worst ideas.

(4,037 posts)Given his long sordid reputation, I wouldnt believe much of what he says. And now, hes fashioning himself a hero. What a joke. As the prior post stated, why didnt he speak out earlier.

(16,616 posts)bit if he intends to do interviews and a book tour. At the very least he will distract AssClown and infuriate him and waste a week tweeting his derision. Maybe he'll do the round of Sunday morning shows.
But I agree with most other DUers that Bolton was an enormous disappointment. His value now is only the hope he could influence neocons who voted for Trump and piss Trump off.

(4,131 posts)But Bolton committed treason by not testifying loudly and publicly about those offenses when he had the opportunity.
If justice exists, Boltons is coming. Maybe the next administration will prosecute all of those who enables the treasons of the current administration.

(68,715 posts)"now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country". I wouldn't buy his book for any reason.

(17,865 posts)Way to turn it around instead of focusing on the fact that your own party did everything possible to obscure and distort facts to prevent a complete examination of his reckless and impeachable foreign policy.
You had the chance to be remembered as a John Dean instead of just another enabler.
You also might have saved your party and your country. Do you really want to go through another four years of this crap?

(5,346 posts)If had testified that would have greatly increased the chances of trump's actual impeachment, which in turn would have robbed his own book of drama. After all, who cares about a book's proclamation of "impeachable offenses" when trump's already been impeached?
Fuck you, John Bolton, you goddamned traitor.

(37,163 posts)...their own resistance to Trump, enough to break Mitch's entrenched dismissal.
If only someone had stepped up for this "only Nixon could go to China" moment (because, like Nixon, his own demagoguery would vilify anyone else).
And when it was time for the man and the moment to meet...
Brave Sir Bolton ran away
Bravely ran away, away
When danger reared it's ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Bolton turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Bolton

(6,230 posts)First, I think Bolton believes that Trump isn't going to be reelected, so no need to fear reprisals.
Second, the book must be released now so it doesn't look like he's jumping on the dump Trump bandwagon of Republicans that is beginning to form up.
Third, Trump is looking weak right now, time for a little payback.
Fourth, this is a good time to cash in on all the stuff he should have been talking about last January in front of Congress. It's still going to sell.
