Just a week before the much-awaited book by President Trumps former National Security Advisor John Bolton is set to go on sale, the Trump administration is expected to file a lawsuit in federal court seeking an injunction to block the book from being released in its current form, ABC News reports.

(16,616 posts)In the crazy world we live in, maybe Anonymous would hack the book and release it in .pdf form so that America gets the vital information but Bolton doesn't get a cent. I'm against stealing intellectual property, but first-hand evidence of Trump violating the law or committing impeachable offenses shouldn't be censored, used as leverage over a political party, or sold!

(115,869 posts)They knew this was coming; why didn't they try to stop it sooner? I'm guessing it has to do with all the publicity, and the fact that Bolton will be interviewed on TV next weekend; maybe they were hoping it would just go away. Bolton is a nasty motherfucker and probably not someone to play chicken with. Anyhow, the juicy stuff in that book is gonna leak.

(22,052 posts)You fucked the pooch on this one. You could have testified before the impeachment committees and made yourself a patriotic star. In fact, one could argue that your testimony might have pushed the Senate to convict Trump. But, no, you wanted to hold out for the big payday.
Now you and your publisher will have to spend time and lots of money to fight Trump's unconstitutional attempt at prior restraint.
By the time your book comes out, we'll probably know the good stuff and your big payday will be diminished.
You've often made poor choices, don'tcha know?
