Awwww-Poor FOX has a sad.

Brian Kilmeade says John Bolton's book manuscript being "leaked out" is "more evidence that people within the administration are against the administration." Kilmeade also says it's "devastating timing, because this thing was on the fast track to closing out without witnesses."

LOL: They were betting Trump had all this nailed down better.

Understand why this is important: GOP Senators (and even House) have staked their careers on a defense story that the White House encouraged. Now they look like they were part of the cover up.


@maggieNYT
Per sources, some GOP senators privately pushing White House for information on who at administration had visibility into the manuscript over the last month. Senators feel blindsided.

Bolton's Attorney confirms NYT report & Bolton has offered to testify to the Senate

@GeoffRBennett
New statement from John Bolton’s attorney Charles Cooper appears to confirm the latest NYT reporting. And it appears Bolton offered to testify to the Senate under subpoena a week after submitting the manuscript to the WH for classification review.

This is how f__king scared WH is of Bolton:

Since Mr. Bolton’s statement, White House advisers have floated the possibility that they could go to court to try to obtain a restraining order to stop him from speaking.
