Sunday night the
failing New York Times published a “breaking news” report
based on an unpublished manuscript of John Bolton’s new book wherein he alleges
President Trump said he wanted to keep foreign aid to Ukraine “frozen until its
officials helped him with investigations into Democrats.”
Riddle me this: Is this an amazing coincidence or a strategically
timed leak to aid the Democrats’ coup to remove this President?
Hours after the New
York Times leaked a passage from the book “The Room Where It Happened”
it popped up for pre-order on Amazon. The book’s arrival on Amazon came a
day before the President’s lawyers resume their presentation of his defense in
the Senate.
Bolton's
"manuscript was transmitted to the White House for prepublication review
by the National Security Council," said Bolton adviser Sarah Tinsley. "The ambassador has
not passed the draft manuscript to anyone else. Period." Bolton's lawyer,
Charles Cooper, said in a statement "it is clear, regrettably, from The
New York Times article published Sunday that the prepublication review
process has been corrupted and that information has been disclosed by persons
other than those properly involved in reviewing the manuscript."
Adam Schiff and the
Democrats quickly pounced claiming, “Having access to Bolton's manuscript may
have given Trump's aides and lawyers direct insight into what Bolton would say
if he were called to testify at the impeachment trial," and "it also
intensified concerns among some of his advisers that they needed to block Mr.
Bolton from testifying,” the NYT reports.
Meanwhile, Bolton
associates tell told the paper he wants to testify because “he believes he has
relevant information and he has also expressed concern that if his account of
the Ukraine affair emerges only after the trial, he will be accused of holding
back to increase his book sales.”

How did the Obama Administration react to the invasion of Ukraine?
They reacted by sending blankets.

Democrat House Impeachment Managers keep talking about Ukraine security assistance.— The White House (@WhiteHouse) January 24, 2020
Did they mention they voted NO on that assistance?
Nadler voted NO on FY20 NDAA (included $300M for Ukraine).
Nadler, Lofgren, & Jeffries voted NO on FY19 NDAA (included $250M for Ukraine).

UPDATE: The
plot sickens.
Lt. Col. Yevgeny
Vindman, a senior ethics lawyer for the National Security Council and identical
twin brother of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, is in charge of reviewing all
publications by current and former NSC officials and likely would have seen
former NSC Advisor Bolton’s draft manuscript after it was submitted for
prepublication at the end of December 2019.
UPDATE II: Welcome readers of Whatfinger News.
