BREAKING: John Bolton spoke publicly for the first time since the impeachment trial.

He was asked whether he thought Trump's July 25 call was “perfect.” Bolton says “you'll love Chapter 14” of his book.#Hardball pic.twitter.com/FBr4jQIiDf
I love buying and reading books, and have several open at one time on any given day, but this entire man and his book can go get extraordinarily fucked. (And it's possible that it very well might still be fucked by the White House.) It's not that the whole wide world deserves "freebies" from something his publisher paid good money for. It's that this person believes that the truth has a price, when he might have information that matters regarding executive-level misconduct in our government. It's not cute. If he had something really worth telling to sell the resistance folks on, wouldn't it be more valuable if he wasn't just a Trump-recycled and discarded Bush-era warmonger, but a person who gave any sign whatsoever that he wasn't just a Fox News guest Trump was temporarily enamored with who got let go with cause?
Now, if there is something good in there, you know I will blog about that. From what others excerpt. But I wouldn't trust him at this point. And I wouldn't buy his book just to read the whole thing. Because what point of view did he have that I would have felt valuable up until any part of it might have been useful against Trump? (So much for so many angsty liberals.) So who is his audience? Neocon anti-Trumpers?
That doesn't sound like a big success to me. Nor especially worth holding his counsel for. But this seems to be his way of earning his advance, so? He's welcome to it.
