Agreed, he's refusal to testify makes him a POS, but I'll still read his book, and I'm sure that the Orange Dotard will have someone, maybe Barron, read it to him.

Trump was willing to halt criminal investigations as 'favor' to dictators, Bolton book says
Book by former national security adviser says Trump should have been impeached for behavior fare beyond Ukraine investigation
Donald Trump was willing to halt criminal investigations to “give personal favors to dictators he liked”, according to a new book written by his former national security advisor John Bolton.
A copy of the book, which has been the center of furious intrigue and anticipation in Washington, DC, and around the country and the world, was obtained by the New York Times, which published a report on some of its details on Wednesday.
The Times said that Bolton writes that Trump should have been impeached for behavior that went far beyond his attempt to strong arm the Ukraine into investigating his political rival, Joe Biden – an action for which Trump was eventually acquitted by the Republican-controlled senate earlier this year.
Bolton wrote he knew of several episodes where Trump expressed willingness to halt criminal investigations “to, in effect, give personal favors to dictators he liked,” citing cases involving major firms in China and Turkey.
According to the Times, the book adds: “The pattern looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life, which we couldn’t accept.” Bolton reported his concerns to attorney general William Barr.
More details soon…

Oooooh booooi I can't wait for the supernatural level of mental gymnastics that will surely be on display in the next few weeks.
Can't. Wait.

This. Pirate it. This man deserves nothing other than rotten produce thrown at him. Not money.
An infinite supply of milkshakes would also be adequate.

Republicans: Haven't read it. I don't watch teevee. I don't read newspapers. I'm not on twitter. I don't comment...
Infinite loop
Can I get the "BUT HER EMAILS" drowd to let me know what they think about this?
In November 2018, Trump came under fire for writing an unfettered defense of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, littered with exclamation points, over the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamaal Khashoggi. But according to Bolton’s book, the main goal of the missive was to take away attention from a story about Ivanka Trump using her personal email for government business.
And then can I get the "bIdEN is WeAk on chINa" crowd to let me know their thoughts on this?
Beijing’s repression of its Uighur citizens also proceeded apace. Trump asked me at the 2018 White House Christmas dinner why we were considering sanctioning China over its treatment of the Uighurs, a largely Muslim people who live primarily in China’s northwest Xinjiang Province.
At the opening dinner of the Osaka G-20 meeting in June 2019, with only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do. The National Security Council’s top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China.
I'll wait

Trumpists:
Oh yes indeed. Bolton withholding this information from the impeachment hearings, is a crime in itself.

Yes I know. Rank gymnastic amateurs. Xarog would have embraced the events and spun it as Trump doing good.
All these Trump supporters must have big strong arms from moving the goalposts all the time.
Let's see what OAN or Fox News says first, they need time to digest so to create the talking points that will inevitably be spat out in this thread and elsewhere.

Xi agreed that we should restart the trade talks, welcoming Trump’s concession that there would be no new tariffs and agreeing that the two negotiating teams should resume discussions on farm products on a priority basis. “You’re the greatest Chinese leader in 300 years!” exulted Trump, amending that a few minutes later to “the greatest leader in Chinese history.”
Trump told Xi he was ‘the greatest leader in Chinese history.’
15 times Trump praised China as coronavirus was spreading across the globe
The president has lambasted the WHO for accepting Beijing’s assurances about the outbreak, but he repeated them, as well.

The president pleaded with Chinese leader Xi Jinping for domestic political help, subordinated national-security issues to his own re-election prospects and ignored Beijing’s human-rights abuses.
