Right wing Russian Repug Roberts will do the job he was hired for and protect drumpf by stopping Bolton - sadly think that's pre-determined. Drumpf/Barr will stop the book from being published, can't have the 100 year long effort to establish a rw dictatorship foiled now that it's almost here, is their POV.

at least to give a week or two more time for more damning reports against Trump to be revealed and stop the Super Bowl and State of Union victory rallies Trump was already planning.
