Perhaps.I think someone from tramp admin spread around fake news, due to the media's want to call John Bolton and it will be a disaster, and he will say I didn't say that in the book, we should pick Pompeo, and Mulvaney to call.
I think its a set up, only tramp can do EP on his book.
But why wouldn't Bolton lawyers deny the allegations that came from the book if it were not true or written by him?
