Washington(CNN)The White House has issued a formal*threat to former national security adviser John Bolton*to keep him from publishing his book, "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir," sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

In a letter to Bolton's lawyer, a top official at the National Security Council*wrote the unpublished manuscript of Bolton's book*"appears to contain significant amounts of classified information" and couldn't be published as written.

The letter, which is dated January 23, said some of the information was classified at the "top secret" level, meaning it "reasonably could be expected to cause exceptionally grave harm to the national security."

And if he persist he and publisher can wind up in jail.

This one is going to end up in court, eh?

I have a pretty good idea that "grave harm to the national security" = will embarrass and/or convict and/or piss off Trumpelthinskin.

What is Trump* so afraid of?

They did?

Isn’t he a “whistleblower”?

What do you think Bolton will say that Schiffs other 17 witnesses didn’t?
 
Jarod lies. He knows this witness gambit is getting away from the democrat party. When DiFi says she is thinking about acquittal it is bad

Someone made a bunch of photocopies and distributed them to the trump administration. That would technically be leaking it within the trump administration. The entire trump administration knows which office leaked it. Should we begin rounding up the trump administration and putting them in jail?

Precisely.
 
The book is a moot issue now.

GAME OVER
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sch...eachment-trial

A string of newly resurfaced video clips of former national security adviser John Bolton spurred President Trump and his supporters Wednesday to highlight what they described as serious credibility questions -- raised by both Democrats and Republicans -- amid the Senate impeachment trial, as the president tweeted, "GAME OVER!"

Trump linked to an interview of Bolton in August 2019 concerning Ukraine policy. In the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty interview clip, Bolton made no mention of any illicit quid pro quo, and acknowledged, as Republicans have claimed, that combating "corruption" in Ukraine was a "high priority" for the Trump administration.

Bolton also called Trump's communications with Ukraine's leader "cordial," without mentioning any misconduct. It seemingly contradicted reported assertions in Bolton's forthcoming book that Trump explicitly told him he wanted to tie military aid to Ukraine to an investigation of Joe Biden.

Since his entire book is supposedly about his brief time under the orange thumb of the Mango Messiah, that's probably a good assumption, eh? Generally, from what I've been reading, books like that are submitted for review to make sure that they don't inadvertently contain classified info. The administration has had it now since 27 Dec. Plenty of time to review it and do the usual procedure -- inform the publisher that certain info contained within is considered classified. This is the first time I've heard of them publicly sending a letter of warning and making sure the voters know about it. It's all grandstanding. It's also bumping his pre-sales.

I'm about to burst your bubble about Bolton. Seems Schiff didn't believe anything Bolton had to say earlier.

In the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty interview clip, Bolton made no mention of any illicit quid pro quo, and acknowledged, as Republicans have claimed, that combating "corruption" in Ukraine was a "high priority" for the Trump administration.
Bolton also called Trump's communications with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "warm and cordial," without mentioning any misconduct. It seemingly contradicted reported assertions in Bolton's forthcoming book that Trump explicitly told him he wanted to tie military aid to Ukraine to an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden. (Zelensky has said his communications with Trump involved no pressure for any investigation.)

Separately, Fox News has identified clips of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., now the lead House impeachment manager, in which he says Bolton had a distinct "lack of credibility" and was prone to "conspiracy theories." This week, Schiff said Bolton needed to testify in the impeachment trial as an important and believable witness.
"This is someone who's likely to exaggerate the dangerous impulses of the president toward belligerence, his proclivity to act without thinking, and his love of conspiracy theories," Schiff told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on March 22, 2018, when Trump named Bolton national security adviser.
"And I'll, you know, just add one data point to what you were talking about earlier, John Bolton once suggested on Fox News that the Russian hack of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] was a false flag operation that had been conducted by the Obama administration," he said. "So, you add that kind of thinking to [former U.S. attorney] Joe diGenova and you have another big dose of unreality in the White House."

My guess is that's why the (D) committees did not issue him a subpoena. IMO he's a sleaze but then so is his former employer. Turds of a feather and all...
