(51,644 posts)weeks ago. Are we to believe that tRump didn't notify Moscow Mitch? If he is pissed off, than he is pissed off at the W House for leaving him out of the loop.
Eyeball_Kid
(7,435 posts)And other posters are right. Trump's loyalty is a one way street. He could have informed McConnell of the manuscript, but he allowed McConnell to play along, as if there wasn't a bombshell hidden in the weeds.

(11,890 posts)MM has been crowing for weeks about how closely he has been working with the White House on this trial. No way he was not informed of the Bolton book bomb shell. Remember what Adam

(31,261 posts)That person seem to know what he or she is doing, because the timing of the leak was virtually pitch perfect.

(1,660 posts)We never did find out who that person is.
Now that think of it...even the GOP/WH/defense hasnt been clamoring for his/her revelation/testimony lately. Interesting...
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)But definitely a person that is upset about seeing Trump's criminality.

(20,917 posts)What did McConnell think Bolton was going to deny the information already attributed to him and about him second hand?
I feels like the GOPs clever ploy to not pay attention to the house's investigation has bit them in the * only because they paid no attention to the evidence. For everyone else, we already knew Bolton knew, and disapproved of Trump's actions.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)Look like some patriot leaked Bolton's text to blow Moscow Mitch's bullshit up. Now they must call Bolton, and to make things juicer, Trump squirted a fresh layer of rancid piss on Bolton in a tweet last night.
magicarpet
(14,195 posts)... that's a fresh spring rain that sprouts all the wonderful tulips and daffodils trickling down Bolton's back.
It is just a coincidence the spring rain smells like trDump's warm pee. Some say all that ozone makes rain smell like urine.
John Bolton was pissed off at Orange Mussolini. Now Bolton pissed on, pissed off, and pissed all over at pResident Shit Stain.
Let's see what happens if trDump stops the printing of Bolton's tell all book under the grounds what Bolton has to say violates/infringes on national security and/or executive privilege grounds.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)Bolton has a history of being a crazy, vengeful prick (though he has always been patriotic, you don't find accounts of him outing American diplomats). So if Trump freezes Bolton's book to protect himself, who knows what will happen, but I doubt that Bolton will be kissing Trump's rear.

(3,634 posts)It's completely consistent with how McConnell and the R Senators have been acting. Mitch is focused on November; he knows he has to protect those vulnerable R senators from left-leaning states or he'll lose his majority and his power. If he knew what was in Bolton's book he would be planning for it to come out before the election and laying cover against the revelation of its contents, but it seems to have taken him completely by surprise. I can see the WH keeping it from him simply because they hide everything from everyone by habit. Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about McConnell, which is kind of stupid because without McConnell Trump has no cover against another impeachment. We know he thinks he'll win the next election so you think he'd also care about that, but he only cares about himself and thinks the divine streak of luck which has always protected him will continue its work no matter who he screws along the road.

(15,182 posts)I think Trump thought he had it all under wraps so he didn't have to tell Moscow Mitch anything. Oops!

Then, no communication of any kind. Ever. Lock them, all, the fuck up. Weld the fucking doors closed.
