Did anyone bother to buy/read Bolton's book?

I think most people had no interest in lining his pockets after he ignored congress. I know Mary Trump’s book has made a killing. I guess nothing Bolton had to say was the least bit surprising and he’d already laid his traitorous cards on the table. I doubt anything he would have said would have swayed any rethugs, but he certainly reinforced the idea congress could be ignored.

Didn’t take long to start skimming. Reminded me a little of Proust, if Proust were a war-mongering neocon gasbag.
