I remember what the cowardly arse-licking Republican senators were saying during the impeachment hearings . . . 

"No we don't believe what Alexander Vindman says, how can he know what John Bolton said? It's hearsay. Same goes for Gordon Sonland. How does he know what John Bolton said? And how can Fiona Hill know what John Bolton said or what John Bolton was thinking? How do Kurt Volker and Tim Morrisson know what John Bolton said? It's all hearsay. Only John Bolton knows what he said and what he thought and . . . what's that? You want to call John Bolton himself to the witness stand? Good grief, we can't have that! I vote against hearing what John Bolton has to say!
That is exactly what happened. Now we finally have the chance to hear what John Bolton has to say and the Trumpanzees are frantically trying to ban his book . . . while Bozo is discrediting him on Twitter with childish and juvenile tweets calling him a "fool" and a "dope".
Too pathetic for words . . . and yet we have Trumpanzees talking about the truth and calling other people brainwashed!
Bolton's publishers have called the attempts by the White House to ban the book as "a frivolous, politically motivated excercise in futility" and hundreds of thousands of copiers have already been distributed.
Some excerpts . . .
Bolton describing a meeting between Bozo and Xi Jinping:
"Trump, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming US presidential election [in 2020], alluding to China's economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win,  he stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome."
Bozo didn't know that the UK had nuclear capability:
"According to the book, Mr Trump said: "Oh, are you a nuclear power?" Mr Bolton said he could tell it "was not intended as a joke".
Bozo's understanding of geography and general knowledge:
"Mr Trump also once asked his former chief-of-staff John Kelly if Finland was part of Russia."
Bozo on Venezuela, invasions and being Putin's little puppet:
"Mr Trump said invading Venezuela would be "cool", according to the book, and that the South American nation was "really part of the United States".

But he was less enthusiastic about another invasion. Of the Afghanistan conflict, Mr Trump is quoted in the book as saying: "This was done by a stupid person named George Bush."

Mr Bolton writes that in a May 2019 phone call Russian President Vladimir Putin pulled off a "brilliant display of Soviet-style propaganda" by likening Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó to 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, which "largely persuaded Trump".

Mr Putin's objective was to defend his ally, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Mr Bolton writes. In 2018, Mr Trump labelled the leftist Mr Maduro a dictator and imposed sanctions, but he clung to power.

In an interview with ABC News to be broadcast in full this Sunday, Mr Bolton says of Mr Trump: "I think Putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle.""
On working for Bozo:

"Mr Bolton writes that many of the president's closest aides privately disparaged him.

When he arrived at the White House, Mr Bolton said Mr Kelly warned him: "You can't imagine how desperate I am to get out of here. This is a bad place to work, as you will find out."

During Mr Trump's 2018 meeting with North Korea's leader, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo passed Mr Bolton a note about the president that said: "He is so full of shit."

He writes that Mr Pompeo, often described as a Trump loyalist, was among aides who considered resigning in disgust in frustration at working for the president.

Mr Bolton writes that the president "saw conspiracies behind rocks, and remained stunningly uninformed on how to run the White House, let alone the huge federal government.""
I'm sure there's much more to come. What a pity Bolton himself was too gutless to say all this during the House impeachment hearings!

Peeper’s new toy.....another back stabber revelation. If there was any substance in any of this Bolton would have got all the assurances he needed and it would have been swept up in the Impeachment hearings.

So far this is a big fat zero ....but Peeper assures us there is ‘more to come’.

"When Wacko John Bolton went on Deface the Nation and so stupidly said that he looked at the “Libyan Model” for North Korea, all hell broke out. Kim Jong Un, who we were getting along with very well, went “ballistic”, just like his missiles - and rightfully so...."

"....He didn’t want Bolton anywhere near him. Bolton’s dumbest of all statements set us back very badly with North Korea, even now. I asked him, “what the hell were you thinking?” He had no answer and just apologized. That was early on, I should have fired him right then & there!"
