The House needs to subpoena John Bolton *NOW*

to ask him:

1) “How did the U.S. citizenry benefit — specifically — from your ‘reorganization’ of the NSC (and elsewhere) which dismantled the ‘pandemic response team’ in the NSC (and elsewhere)?

2) “Whose idea was it to do this? Where are the paper/digital records of deliberations leading up to this ‘reorganization’?”

3) “Trump is on the record saying the dismantling of the pandemic response teams was an effort, essentially, to save money because it wasn’t cost-effective to be paying them. Compared to how much the crashed economy is costing us right now, and what it will cost us going forward, how much money did your ‘reorganization’ actually save?”

4) “Who benefited more from your ‘reorganization’, Trump, or the American people?”

5) “Wasn’t this “reorganization” actually just another vanity project to try to reassure Trump — in vain — that his dick is bigger than President Obama’s?”

when he's blocked McGahn, he's blocking Fauci and he blocked Bolton's book?

He fired IGs to stop future whistleblower complaints from being turned over to Congress. Not only is Trump blocking Bolton's book, now he's threatening legal action to prevent publication of Michael Cohen's upcoming tell-all book, even canceling Cohen's early release from prison. If Bolton were not such a self-serving weasel, he would willingly testify before Congress.

Trump just drags it out to his fellow sexual predators on the Supreme Court who won't make a decision before the election.

Wasn’t it due out in April?
Didn’t his publisher tell Trump lawyers to “Bugger off!!” on not publishing that book?
