They can't stop the book from being published. Mr. Bolton has rights, and the book was submitted beforehand for any edits that may be required due to national security concerns. Also, publishers aren't stupid. They know the legal penalties of revealing classified intel, so it's highly unlikely that there is anything secret in there.

Remember that Bolton is a long-time insider, knows where the skeletons are buried and who buried them. He is also known for being scrupulous about documentation, often taking long notes in meetings and directly after meetings, to keep his memories refreshed any time he needs to recall something. No doubt, his notes from this clusterfuck would make excellent reading.

So, this is all bluff and bluster, folks. Make no mistake, Bitch McConnell and the rest of the GOP is taking a giant dump in their knickers right now. Even Lindsey is in hiding. Now that, in itself, is very interesting.
