About one of the revelations from Bolton's manuscript?

It sort of stuck in the back of my mind when I read it.

He said Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate "Democrats". He wanted these American citizens investigated before Biden ever got into the race?

It wasn't just about Joe Biden. It was about the "Democrats".

What difference does that make?

It wasn't just about his possible opponent in the next election. It was about "Democrats". It was about American citizens.

It is worse than it has been portrayed.

He was going to go after all of them, not just Biden. Even under the previous president of Ukraine. He was surprised when Zelensky won his election. But he was engaged in the bribery before Biden came into focus.

He wanted other Democrats investigated also, is my interpretation.
