Something seems 'off' with the way the whole Bolton/Trump feud has been brewing.
Trump, Scavino, Pompeo, Grennell, and others when asked about it and when they talk about it, seem to all be focusing on Bolton's character flaws BEFORE he was ever hired by Trump. How he is a 'warmonger', how he is 'egotistical', and on and on.
I think to myself, if he was that bad before he was hired, why was he hired at all? I remember one reason given was "he begged for the job". OK, but that can't be all there is to it. Lots of people beg for lots of things at the highest levels of government, begging alone is of course not enough.
The complicating factor in this is that apparently a number of news orgs have the transcript of Bolton's book. So they know what's in it.
So it's not like I can assume that the transcript is a double fake that really throws the D's under the bus, that the fake news is just being set up…
But then…
Just yesterday or the day before…
Out of nowhere Pelosi and other D's have started to attack Bolton as well. That they even want to subpoena him to testify!
Say what?
If what Bolton has to say in his book is so devastating to Trump, wouldn't D's be all giddy about what was happening and just let it happen? Why go after Bolton?
Unless…
See this is where my memory goes back to a Q drop on Mueller. Remember the drop that asked "Why is Pelosi begging for a new special counsel?" or something to that effect. That was very early on in the Mueller hoax. I've always interpreted that drop as indicating the D's learned to their horror that Mueller serving as a 'blockade' to protect the D's, was at the same time an intentional plan by the Patriots to show the world Mueller won't find anything wrong about Trump campaign, and to protect Durham/Huber/Barr and others while they did important work, and probably other reasons I haven't listed.
Pelosi must have been either tipped off or gotten wind of what was really happening (Mueller did meet with POTUS for 3-4 hours to 'interview' for the role of Dir. of FBI even though he didn't qualify…what was really discussed? etc)
So I get a similar sense with this whole Bolton saga.
The fact the D's are going after Bolton now suggests to me that they must have recently learned something that THREATENS THEM.
Which brings me to what I think seems 'off' about the whole feud.
Why are many Trump allies AND WHY ARE MANY D'S all attacking Bolton all of a sudden?
Here's my guess, I could be wrong:
THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THE BOOK TRANSCRIPT.
The one the media has had in their possession for many months, the one the DOJ is suing to block from being published, is a head fake version that the DOJ will successfully block because it has classified information.
I think Pelosi and others learned that this transcript was a decoy.
The SECOND version of the book is one with 'edits'. This version (which I am guessing exists) is one with redactions of all the classified information, AND, just maybe, it is also a version with 'other' edits that have been made that are NOT in the version the media has, and THAT version is the one that has spooked Pelosi and the D's so much that they learned they have been duped and that's why they're now attacking Bolton.
So Trump, Scavino, Pompeo, Grenell, etc, they are not 'lying' when they say the book ought not be published, that Bolton is a traitor for writing what he did in the first version. They're just not explicitly mentioning what version they're talking about.
It was mentioned that Bolton as part of his employment contract WAS REQUIRED to have ANY book transcript reviewed and approved by the WH first, prior to publication. No matter what he wrote.
Well, what if what we're seeing right now IS a very tightly controlled sting operation to take down the entire corrupt 'book deal' industry? The same one that Obama used for money laundering?
What if Pelosi and the D's have learned, too late, that they have all been hoodwinked? That the Bolton book was to all along a trap to GET ON RECORD criminal acts from the book publishing industry?
It is after all illegal for book publishers to KNOWINGLY publish classified information illegally.
How does one get such evidence on record?
Set a trap?
I am fully aware that I am being a creative writer here, but at the same time, while writing all of the above, I didn't sense any of it was out of the realm of possibility, at least as far as I can tell.
So what do you think?
