Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIt's more a case that liberals seem to think that anybody who says anything remotely bad about Trump is suddenly a paragon of virtue regardless of how sketchy he might otherwise be (and Bolton is plenty sketchy).
It's not even certain that Bolton's book will be released since he has failed to comply with the ordered classified intelligence review.
Challenging the freedom of the press? I doubt it."It ain't necessarily so

I'm skeptical of all sources, and especially ones that go along with the popular narrative.
That said, it could be true. I doubt we'll ever know, unless full transcripts of the conversation between Trump and Xi are released....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostPublishing classified information is not protected by the First Amendment. Not to mention Bolton is in violation of a non-disclosure agreement.
[Bolton's lawyer] Chuck Cooper, wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week intended to put public pressure on the White House. In it, Cooper volunteered that Bolton had violated both his NDA and perhaps a few criminal laws, including the Espionage Act. Now, even if Boltons book is never released, he is facing stiff penalties. As unforced legal errors go, thats a doozy.
Here are the two sentences that could cost Bolton a big stack of money, or worse: He instructed me, as his lawyer, to submit the manuscript to Ellen Knight, the NSCs senior director for prepublication review of materials written by NSC personnel. I sent Ms. Knight the manuscript on Dec. 30, days after the House had impeached the president and amid speculation that the Senate would subpoena Mr. Bolton to testify.
See, heres the thing about prepublication review: Publication means giving potentially classified information to anyone the government has not approved to receive it. Bolton and his lawyer committed one of the classic blunders that a national-security lawyer would have seen coming a mile away. Simply put, someone who has signed an NDA and received a clearance has to put anything they want to write through prepublication review before they can give it to anyone. Even their lawyer.

Trump didn't win his presidency on forcing a regime change in Iran, so I thought it was very surprising and disappointing that he hired Bolton in the first place.

Nevertheless, Bolton was hired SPECIFICALLY because of his hard-line / regime-change stance on Iran. You may not have approved of him, but you were in a (conservative) minority on the issue.
