    Could you choose a more biased source?

    And reporting this in 2025 and you don't think that that's at the behest

    Read what's in the very next paragraph, doofus:

    judge overseeing that case, claiming she had been pressured by the Trump

    That's someone speaking without the cloak of anonymity.

    political appointees for a seemingly political purpose." Knight claimed

    to "get her to admit that she and her team had missed something or made
    a mistake," which "could then be used to support their argument to block publication."'

    I'm sorry, but where does it say that any classified information

    That doesn't matter at all. He had it and was going to put it in a
    fucking book, for all to read. And, let's not forget about his
    private email server and sending CLASSIFIED information to
    RELATIVES.

    No. He wrote a manuscript and sent it to the proper people to determine
    what was classified and what was not:

    <https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/7216196/Letter-Re-US-v-John-Bolton.pdf>

    You've yet to produce any evidence at all of a "private email server";
    let alone that it was used to send classified information to anyone.


    You have GOT to stop whining and crying about everything Trump. This
    has NOTHING to DO with Trump. If anything, it's all about Biden.

    What it DOES say is that Knight and her team reviewed the
    manuscript BEFORE it was sent to the publishers.

    Again... what does THAT matter? It WAS being attempted to go to a
    publisher.

    Nope. It was submitted to the appropriate government office for clearance.


    Ever heard of Conspiracy? Whether the manuscript made it to the
    publisher or not, is moot. It was an attempt BY Bolton, to GET it
    there.

    What about emailed classified docs to family?

    WASHINGTON - Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton
    should face criminal charges over his alleged emailing of highly
    sensitive classified materials through a private server, high
    ranking FBI officials told The Post Saturday, as they questioned why
    the Biden administration shelved the case in the first place.

    Anonymous voices in Trump's administration talking to the NY Post.

    <eye roll>


    That, alone, should garner jail time for Bolton, and whomever
    dropped the ball in the Biden administration.

    If it ever even happened.


    WHY are you trying to defend Bolton? He's a war-mongering social conservative, who was probably trying to nail BIDEN to the wall, re:
    Ukraine.

    Because unlike you, I don't pick and choose what is true or false based
    on my political biases.

    'The review started with Ambassador Bolton's submission of the
    manuscript on December 30, 2019.'

    An anonymous "senior US official" told the NY Post?

    Could you choose a more biased source?


    Are you now denying that the probe was not dropped by the Biden
    administration???

    Silence (of course).

    Because it's moot.

    Do you suppose they could have dropped the investigation because there
    was nothing there to find?

    After all, it's not like Bolton was a friend to Biden's administration,
    now was it?

    Laughter!

    Because the media is so friendly to Trump...


    Read what's in the very next paragraph, doofus:

    'A Justice Department effort to recoup profits from the book was also

    So?

    Silence (of course).

    So you don't think there's a problem with someone being pressured by the Trump's administration to declare something she knows to be false, and
    that the administration fired her for that?

    Knight has been in your federal government since 2011, and was promoted
    to the position first the position of Director and then Senior Director
    of the National Security Council...

    ...BY DONALD TRUMP.

    And then she won't say what he wants her to say and she's suddenly fired.




    That's someone speaking without the cloak of anonymity.

    More:

    'In an 18-page letter submitted in the case on Tuesday, Knight claimed >>>> that after she and her team went through several rounds of reviewing the >>>> manuscript with the help of Bolton's attorneys, they were able to remove >>>> all of the classified information. But soon thereafter political
    appointees in the executive branch took "extraordinary actions" to
    pressure her into reversing that assessment.

    So classified information was made available to the publishers???

    That itself is a crime.

    Game over.


    I'm sorry, but where does it say that any classified information got as
    far as the publishers.

    Isn't that what the investigation is about???

    Is it? Because if there actually WAS classified information IN THE BOOK,
    this would already be a slam-dunk.

    So why isn't Bolton already arrested?



    What it DOES say is that Knight and her team reviewed the manuscript
    BEFORE it was sent to the publishers.

    The investigation will tell us.

    No, it won't. An investigation into Bolton will not tell you when Knight
    and her team reviewed the manuscript...

    ...but this letter will:

    'The review started with Ambassador Bolton's submission of the
    manuscript on December 30, 2019. Upon the first reading, it was apparent
    to Ms. Knight that the manuscript contained voluminous amounts of
    classified information and that it would take a significant effort to
    put it into publishable shape. The ensuing review ultimately became the
    most intensive pre-publication review process in recent memory at the NSC.'

    <https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/7216196/Letter-Re-US-v-John-Bolton.pdf>

    Go ahead, read it, and tell me what part of this wasn't bullshit by the
    Trump team. Especially this:

    'After her promotion to Senior Director, Ms. Knight was given assurances
    from all of her relevant NSC supervisors that she would have the option
    to transition into that direct-hire position at the end of her two-year
    detail in August 2020. Both the NSC Executive Secretary and the Senior
    Director for Resource Management told her that they supported her
    transition to the direct-hire position at the conclusion of her detail.
    The NSC Legal Advisor gave her the same assurance, and promised to
    advocate for this transition with the NSC Chief of Staff, who had
    separately expressed strong support for her direct-hire and even assured
    her as recently as May 22 that he was working to “muscle some money
    around” to ensure her
    transition to the NSC permanent staff.

    Following her refusal on June 16 to sign a declaration concerning the
    Bolton litigation, Ms. Knight’s interaction with her leadership and NSC
    Legal all but ceased until June 22, when she received an automated email advising her that her detail would end in 60 days. When she then asked
    the NSC Executive Secretary about the prospect of a direct hire he
    consulted with the NSC Chief of Staff and the NSC Legal Advisor, who
    informed him that that was no longer a possibility, and that “there isno
    path forward for [Ms. Knight] at the NSC.” The Executive Secretary
    expressed his sympathy and also his surprise at the decision in light of
    his strong impression of Ms. Knight as a “professional [who] did
    everything by the book.” However, he said, the decision was “not [his]
    to make,” and had already been made by others. On August 20, Ms.
    Knight’s detail expired and she returned to NARA.'

    "After President Joe Biden took office in 2021, the Bolton probe was >>>>>>>> shut down that June for political reasons, a senior US official told >>>>>>>> The Post Friday."

    An anonymous "senior US official" told the NY Post?

    Could you choose a more biased source?


    Are you now denying that the probe was not dropped by the Biden
    administration???

    Silence (of course).

    Because it's moot.

    Good grief. And you still barely acknowledge the fact of the matter.

    It's a fact that the investigation was dropped.

    About time...


    It is not a fact that it was dropped for any improper reason.

    Laughter!




    Do you suppose they could have dropped the investigation because there
    was nothing there to find?

    Laughter!
    You're more than welcome to cite your theory.

    That IS my theory, and you have nothing that contradicts it.


    And you're welcome to cite it. Until then it's wild speculation on
    your part.



    After all, it's not like Bolton was a friend to Biden's administration,
    now was it?


    You were whining previously about "the deep state"...

    No, you'll find I was making fun of those who claim there is a "deep state".

    Well since I don't take part in that, why did you feel the need to
    bring it up?






    And reporting this in 2025 and you don't think that that's at the behest
    of Trump?

    Laughter!

    Because the media is so friendly to Trump...


    Read what's in the very next paragraph, doofus:

    'A Justice Department effort to recoup profits from the book was also >>>>>>> set aside after attorneys for Knight submitted a letter to the federal >>>>>>> judge overseeing that case, claiming she had been pressured by the Trump
    White House to falsely declare The Room Where It Happened contained >>>>>>> classified information.'

    So?

    Silence (of course).

    So you don't think there's a problem with someone being pressured by the >>> Trump's administration to declare something she knows to be false, and
    that the administration fired her for that?

    You are welcome to present evidence that her claim is true.

    You are welcome to present any evidence that it isn't.


    Laughter!

    It was her affirmative claim.

    She was writing to a judge in a legal proceeding and that is more than
    your anonymous sources, isn't it?

    Two different subjects that you're trying to mesh together.




    Knight has been in your federal government since 2011, and was promoted
    to the position first the position of Director and then Senior Director
    of the National Security Council...

    ...BY DONALD TRUMP.


    So?

    Silence.


    And then she won't say what he wants her to say and she's suddenly fired. >>
    Laughter!

    It's what happened.

    So she says. In any case, if you don't follow your boss's direction,
    you're likely to not have a job for very long so I don't see your
    point.
