White House told Bolton to remove classified material from manuscript before publication. “Under federal law and the nondisclosure agreements your client signed as a condition for gaining access to classified information, the manuscript may not be published or otherwise disclosed without the deletion of this classified information,” Ellen J. Knight, a National Security Council aide, wrote in a letter to Bolton attorney Charles J. Cooper last week, which was obtained by Fox News. Wide headline split.

This allows all senators to punt because info in the book is now NOT available for publication or public testimony. The rabbit hole is now been closed. I’m thinking game, set, match

Who would have ever thought, back in 2015 when Trump announced his candidacy in the Presidential election, that by 2020 the bureaucrats running Washington D.C. and their lickspittle minions in the media would rather try to destroy the country they supposedly serve instead of obeying the will of the electorate? The key to this all are the Leftists in control of the media. Without their help, the Democrats and their bureaucrat cronies couldn't control what he public sees and reads and hears; all their propaganda couldn't be brought to bear; all their efforts to sow division in the guise of "bringing us together to face issues” would gain little traction.
There is a HUGE deficit of personal integrity in our unelected bureaucrats (who are supposed to serve US) and our journalists (who are supposed to watch out for US). How did we, as a country, ever come to such a turn? People today are so much more selfish than in the past.

Makes you wonder how many other career DC swamp creatures are out there like Bolton. President Trump is sure smoking them out one by one! Is there money allocated to add another wing to Leavenworth Federal Prison?

That means someone leaked classified information. If Bolton wrote classified information and passed it on to the publisher for editing, then Bolton is guilty himself.

A radio report on this declared the White House demanded the book not be published and not the fact that classified material not be included.

Call witnesses RINOs. Executive privilage will be invoked and off to courts for 4-6 months. Should completely screw up campaign season for about 24 Rebublican Senators which will accomplhish the Dems goal of taking the Senate. How stupid are these RINOS!?

I hope John Bolton will be ostracized and cut off from any Republican participation, or gatherings of any kind. The man's ugly mustache is awful and unbearable, and he is a traitor. Please treat him accordingly.

Just a reminder that we don’t know what Bolton did or didn’t write. This is all secondhand and supposition, which may be enough for Democrats to condemn someone, but it’s not enough for us.

This is Trump reminding Bolton's and his publisher, that if Bolton let the publisher see it before it was cleared, he's guilty of releasing classified information, and if the Publisher (or one of his worker bees) leaked it to they NYT they're guilty of releasing classified information. The chain of custody on classified information is a bitch!

If there is actually information that is classified "Top Secret" that is the highest level of classifification. Disclosure could cause exceptionally grave damage to national security. It can only be legally disclosed to personnel who possess a Top Secret clearance AND have operational need to know. If Bolton actually put Top Secret classified information in his cockemamy book and passed it along to the publisher, then he committed a crime. It doesn't matter if he meant to do this, even if it was an accident it is a serious violation. When I handled Top Secret classified information only authorised personnel were allowed to view it and it was kept in a safe under two person control and it was logged any time the safe was opened and who was present. Evidently, the rules only apply to us little people.

Second hand and supposition information. Isn't that what the drive-by media is noted for? Or are they just following Pencil Neck's, Jabba's and Piglousy's example?

Why aren't these leakers and tattletales arrested for releasing classified information and harming national security ?
The bigger question is Who is paying Bolton at this point to sell his soul ?
