Bolton book claims Trump committed other 'Ukraine-like transgressions'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton is set to claim in a bombshell book that the president has committed “Ukraine-like transgressions” across his entire foreign policy, far beyond the alleged misconduct he was impeached for.

He will also describe his attempts and those by “others in the administration to raise alarms about them”, according to a press release on Friday about the forthcoming memoir.

Bolton, a staunch conservative who previously served as Republican president George W Bush’s hawkish ambassador to the United Nations, will criticize the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry for focusing solely on Trump’s alleged bid to pressure the leader of Ukraine into damaging the reputation of Trump’s election opponent Joe Biden, while leaving out much wider accusations of similar wrongdoing.

Trump was acquitted by the Republican-led Senate in his impeachment trial early in 2020.

I'm not a fan of Bolton but if he can make Trump's life harder so be it.

1. He's got some nerve criticizing the Democrats

When his country needed him, he wimped out. I’m sure trump tried to shake down China for some Biden slander in the trade negotiations. All these secret phone calls with foreign adversaries are traitorous and un- American!

2. He even said the China part out loud, as I recall

One of his Marine One chopper pressers. He asked China to investigate the Bidens.

3. Yep. So much bullshit come out of his mouth, people forget to listen

He confessed to all of his crimes. He can’t help himself. The republicans just don’t care.

6. I agree - partly

The Republicans just don't care, but I think there is kompromat on many of them just waiting for a misstep to be released. You think the Chinese Government doesn't have shit on Mitch? His FIL is a Taiwanese shipping "magnate" who has done some dodgy things. We assume that McConnell is just a nasty power-hungry SOB, but I think it goes deeper. None of these guys dare step out of line or the information will be made public.

4. The same secret server that he stashed the Ukraine phone call also has Russia & Saudi Arabia calls

stored on there.

Washington (CNN)White House efforts to limit access to President Donald Trump's conversations with foreign leaders extended to phone calls with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, according to people familiar with the matter.

Those calls -- both with leaders who maintain controversial relationships with Trump -- were among the presidential conversations that aides took remarkable steps to keep from becoming public.

(snip)

It's not clear if aides took the additional step of placing the Russian phone calls in the same highly secured electronic system that held a now-infamous phone call with Ukraine's president and which helped spark a whistleblower complaint made public this week, though officials confirmed calls aside from the Ukraine conversation were placed there.

5. Yes. Exactly

[leftieNanner]

7. I fear that someone will "unplug" that server on the way out the door

Or "accidentally" wipe the hard drives clean.

8. Fuck you Bolton.

You are a traitor.

You don't give a fuck about this country.

I hope you are prosecuted for withholding evidence.

9. ..."across his entire foreign policy"

...“Ukraine-like transgressions” across his entire foreign policy...”

And by “foreign” I think Turkey, ISRAEL, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE just for starters. And that will be the biggest explosion to come from Trump’s “election.”
