Sewer

June 17, 2020

John Bolton wants to publish his front row account of his experiences as National Security Advisor on Tuesday. It has already been cleared by the government, which certified that there is no classified information in the book. It is expected that the book will not be flattering, and will state that the Ukraine quid pro quo was not an aberration. Trump’s response…sue him. Trump’s niece is also planning an unflattering, tell-all book, chronicling how her side of the Trump family got screwed by Trump and his children in the settlement of Fred Trump’s estate. Trump’s response…sue her. Trump’s response to anything he perceives as negative is I’ll see you in court. For Trump, the legal system is a weapon to use against his foes.

Trump is absolutely petrified about having to leave the Oval Office and the protections it provides. There are numerous lawsuits awaiting him, which are just adding to his documented count of 3,500 per the ABA over his career. Obstructions of justice, Stormy Daniels et. al., violations of the Emoluments Clause, inaugural funds fraud, money laundering, and more loom. In the meantime, Trump and Barr’s Justice Department are not just part of the swamp. They are a sewer.
