Win/Win

[supergee]

John Bolton (aka Dr. Strangestache) is a dangerous loon who has been trying to get the US into a major war for years. He worked for the Trump Gang for a while, and now he doesn’t. So he wrote a revenge book, and Trump panicked about what it might contain and set in motion plans to keep it from being published.

It’s been leaked to the newspapers, and now we can see why Trump wanted to suppress it: It is chock full of examples of Trump’s stupidity, ignorance, power madness, etc. etc. I would be perversely amused if Trump “won” and kept the book off the stands, so all the juicy stuff gets out but Bolton, who is in his own way as horrible a person as Trump, doesn’t profit from it.

There would be a certain degree of schadenfreude in that outcome for Bolton's book for me as well. But I am content to let the libraries of the world - public and private - enrich him to the minimum degree necessary for his and Trump's crimes to be better documented for future generations.

Yes, this.

The level of sheer fury that liberals have had over Bolton refusing to testify, and then getting a $2 mil advance for the information they wanted him to testify to has been fucking delightful. He is a shitbag. But, well, mostly advances don't get refunded, even if the book isn't published. So, he totes enriched himself. Stupid publishers.
