Trump feels threatened by John Bolton

[rightwinger]

Like most things Trump feels threatened by, he threatens to sue. Trump does not want the public to hear the truth about his Presidency, so he runs to the courts to block it.

Trump scrambles to suppress inconvenient information with Bolton book and coronavirus

There's a common motivation in the White House's attempt to suppress John Bolton's book and its state of denial over alarming new trends in the coronavirus pandemic: President Donald Trump doesn't want Americans to see information that could harm him or the narrative he has constructed.

If some miracle happens & trump wins that lawsuit, the damage is already done.

The media & the publisher Pentagon Papered the book already.

Which now makes that lawsuit meaningless.

It just makes people want to read it more

Bolton is just a political tool used by the angry media. His opinions mean nothing and his whining is just another distraction.

Why Trump is so scared

You're taking Bolton at his word? Uncritically?

Trump is working awfully hard to keep us from hearing what Bolton has to say

What is he hiding?

If someone was releasing a book that said bad things about you, whether true or not, would you encourage or discourage the release of that book? IOW, expand your horizons.

Depends if you value freedom of speech or not.

No it doesn't. Again, would you tell people to read a book that said bad things about you or would you tell them not to read it?

You could do what you want. It wouldn't matter. You can't prevent people from writing bad shit about you. Cult45 loves to cry about things they can't do anything about. After the book is published, then you have the option of a defamation suit.

Exactly. It's not a freedom of speech issue. Trump can say whatever he wants, but as long as there's no classified information in the book, it can be published. He is free, however, to express whatever opinion he wants to about it.

Because this may not really be about classification.

Then all that happens is a delay in publication, not censorship. It comes down to who has the authority. It is interesting, moreover, to watch the usual suspects practically peeing their pants for this to hit their favorite hate merchants so they have something to complain about and twist beyond all recognition. Funny, most of them aren't even going to read the book.

No big deal. Just a delay until, maybe November or so.

Yeah, nothing strange about that.

Most people probably don't know that Bolton is a lawyer, too. He knows his rights and Trump's lawsuit is an empty suit, just like Duh Donald.

"""""Bolton attended Yale University, earning a B.A. and graduating summa cum laude in 1970. He was a member of the Yale Political Union. He attended Yale Law School from 1971 to 1974, where he shared classes with his friend Clarence Thomas, earning a J.D. in 1974.""""""

OMG.....a sitting president doesn't like people repeating in public things that were said in confidence that had to do with Executive Privilege?

Why..... Trump obviously has something to hide from the public (private conversations) and this must stop. Every president must assume that everything he discusses with advisors will be warped and shown in a bad light in a Bombshell book right before an election. Executive Privilege is just a fantasy created by some schmuck who wants to keep people from making a profit once they fired by the POTUS.

It is funny to watch them go nuts complaining that there has to be something nefarious to hide just because somebody doesn't want a private conversation aired in public. Don't want to let us paw through your taxes? Something to hide! Don't want to let us hear all your private conversations? Something to hide! Don't want to let us know how many scoops of ice cream you had at lunch? Something to hide! And on it goes.

Something to hide?
Why was Bolton and other top staff blocked from testifying to Congress?
Why wouldnt they release documents?
Why block Bolton’s book?

You're speculating that there's something to hide. I can speculate too, just don't feel like it right now.

Good grief, Donald Trump Excuse No. 145,209,281.

It's not censorship. Nothing strange about Bolton releasing his book right now either, right? Just happened to get it all done right now, right? It sounds like playing politics is approved on one side of the argument but not the other.

 

[whitehall]

Lefties don't even have an official candidate yet although it seems that they might let Biden out of the basement long enough to accept the nomination. The strategy is to attack the President of the United States any way they can. CNN might love it but Bolton's book is just another pile of shit thrown at the President.

He could have dropped his book a month before the election.
Nobody cares about his book once Trump leaves office

Biden is the strongest candidate Democrats have.
So strong that Trump asked for aid from Ukraine and China to beat him

You can bet your fat bippy that Bolton's lawyers did a complete and thorough review of any classified or confidential information that could get Bolton in trouble.

If Bolton can publish this kind of shit from his 500+ days in the Trump admin, IMAGINE WHAT HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN'T PUT IN HIS BOOK!

Yeah.....that's the ticket.

Fuck following the law.

And they wonder why nobody respects the law anymore.

Why Trump is so scared

Trump is scared by Bolton the way you are frightened by a single serious half way bright thought, that might somehow form in your fetid mind, looks like.
A sudden unexpected disturbance always causes unease.

Anyway we see the Bolton book is riddled with lies like the whopper that Trump begged Xi Jinping to back his campaign. No one there in attendance at a meeting confirms what Bolton alleges.

Bolton is a hack and a liar.
People like him eventually end up in jail.
Just ask Michael Cohen and Michael Avalliti

Yea, yea

Everyone is lying, only Trump can be trusted

Bolton isn’t the government. When it comes to ensuring our rights, the government has an obligation to be apolitical.

 

[CowboyTed]

Bolton is a traitor. Now he'll do anything for a buck since he's on a book signing tour.

You call Bolton a traitor?

Do mean he betrayed Trump?
OR
Do you mean he betrayed his country?

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Yea, yea

You have everything backwards...you expect everyone to take the neocon Bolton's word for something no one
else will confirm. No surprise there.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

We should all be worried. He is senile.

 

[wamose]

Bolton is a grade A bullshit artist who has been trained to lie, exaggerate and twist facts during his time as an ambassador. Any sensible person would be concerned if that rat bastard turned his vicious tongue against them.
