White House Tries To Halt John Bolton Book Publication, Claims It Includes ‘Classified’ Info | MSNBC
More obstruction, More obstruction, More obstruction.
David Clark do you mean DEMOCRATS are obstructing????
My t-Shirts have Clown trump on them, Only $20 Ea.
Don’t lie and you will be ok with Trump.
@Will Snyder Atkinson
Google News will tell you all you need to now.
@thisguy Atkinson
The most transparent administration in history… but they “must” hide EVERYTHING!
@TheBase1aransas Yes, because having evidence is “opinion” now.

Like I’ve told other Trump supporters, just because you don’t like the evidence, just because you ignore the evidence, doesn’t mean it’s there.
PS: Dude, if you want to look at corruption that is being put on display for the world to see, look at the Senate. A trail without witnesses and evidence isn’t much of a trial. Oh, and before you go whine about how the Democrats should have had “more evidence”, Trump ordered those with it to ignore their summons, as well as ignore orders to hand over documents. How you don’t notice that corruption is beyond me.

I’ll repeat myself. Once you actually have an argument, let me know.
@Drake Fire In case you haven’t noticed, the NYT is not a very reliable news source. Focus on the actual EVIDENCE being read into the record at the Senate Trial. There is way more being accomplished than meets the superficial glance. HINT: The Biden questions aren’t a deflection from @POTUS.
Everything is hidden in plain sight… like the transcript that proves, President Trump said nothing wrong in the phone call between him and the president of Ukraine. The sore-loser Dems continue to ignore that fact.
Drake Fire …You speak truth!
Criminals defend the felony president! Revolution may be the only option for a free country!!
@Colin Rowling they’re not our countrymen. They are traitors through and through.
@Ed S they are not victims ! They know exactly what they are doing , they are just more emboldened now because drumph is the same as they are ,, crooks and con artists,, traitors to the American Constitution !
Colin Rowling no the average trump supporter watches fox news and listens to AM talk shows and to trump rallies. They have been brain washed by the lies and propaganda being spread in their circles. They are our countrymen and victims. As far as the rich that don’t pay taxes, well they have always taken advantage of poor republicans. That is what their party is all about.
Ed S right on my dear 👍🏾. We countrymen need to stick together 😎
Everything which is the truth is classified according to this administration. Hide, hide, hide the truth.
‘Classified’ to the little don means anything true about him or his.
If trump is innocent, why not let documents and witnesses prove it, and what are they hiding, the Truth?🤔
@James M close, but no cigar. DJT wants to protect, in order,
(A) Donald J Trump
(B) anyone named Trump
(C) any trump owned businesses or properties
(D) anyone named Kushner, or their business and properties
(E) Any GOP donors, or their businesses and properties.

(L) all other American voters

@Cynthia Kohler LMAO!
Because he’s a hoodlum? A crook? A mobster? A Russian asset?
*Trump Muddies Impeachment Timeline*
November 11, 2019
https://www.factcheck.org/2019/11/trump-muddies-impeachment-timeline/
” *The whistleblower complaint was filed on Aug. 12.* However, the first rough outlines of the complaint only began to trickle out publicly in mid-September, beginning with an anonymously sourced story in the Washington Post on Sept. 18. Several days later, the Wall Street Journal, again citing anonymous sources, reported that Trump “in a July phone call repeatedly pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden’s son,” and urged President Volodymyr Zelensky to “work with Rudy Giuliani on a probe that could hamper Mr. Trump’s potential 2020 opponent.”
Here’s the order of events that happened next over three days in late September.
On Sept. 24, Pelosi announced that the House would begin an impeachment inquiry.
*On Sept. 25, the White House released a memo of the call* , which confirmed that Trump asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens. The memo isn’t a verbatim transcript, but rather the notes taken by assigned staff.
On Sept. 26, the House intelligence committee released a redacted copy of the whistleblower complaint.”
Please note that Mind Freshener is a well know Trump mis-information propagandist.
@thisguy Your rebuttal was a fail.
I have been told by people they didn’t know about Atkinson.
And what I am posting is gaining.
You lose. I triumph.
It will always be thus.
Strange thing is, tRump has no idea what a classified document or information is and how it’s protected or declassified. REMOVE the corrupt and compromised asset from office NOW.
Like him giving an oath to document he can’t even read or understand? Not that an oath would mean anything to him even if he did. He has all the self control, intelligence, and ethics, of a three year old.
This is true, andrew Johnson version 2.0 has in all stupidity vomited 3 times highly classified government information that i know of.
@Ez-8 Gotta love Sondland discussing sensitive ongoing diplomatic negotiation regarding military aid on a commercial cellphone connected to a Russian owned cellular network in the Ukraine. Rudy effing going to an apple store to hand his device over to a sales clerk and butt dialling “we need a couple hundred K” to a reporter. They leave a string of email and WhatsApp comms all over the place. I wouldn’t trust these people with a shopping list, much less a classified document.
us citizen
True dat!
Yup, totally the actions of an innocent person.
Trump knows Bolton will bury him.
https://youtu.be/3N_aPmnkTPk
Anything that exposes the corrupt traitor is classified information to him.
The russsian bots and trolls will be here in force.
@William M hey hey hey what’s wrong with sesame street? I used to love that show as a child and so do my children.
hit report- then hit the scam part and they are gone.
@Calvin R. Johnson Jr. I used to like it when I was a child. I guess the troll or bot is a child.
@William M Dude, it was sarcasm…
@funkmike I could tell you were joking…. But people are touchy these days so I understand the confusion. Russia’s tactics have worked perfectly. Everyone is super on edge and no one knows who the trolls are anymore because everyone seems like a troll.
This book is going to sell like hot-cakes.
Trump’s team providing the best promotion a publisher could wish for. Thanks, Ellen J. Knight @ National Security Council.
@Mind Freshener Why do trumptads think everything fiction except what comes out of the mouth of an orange man who has over 16,000 documented LIES in 3 years? I’m guess it’s because they’re so flucking stupid and hypnotized by Fox hate.
@Steve Sinner maybe Bolton can supply donny with a pop up version.
https://youtu.be/3N_aPmnkTPk
The book will be made into a movie. And there will be a movie about trying to keep it from being published.
Am I the only one that thinks tRump’s administration becomes more like Hitler’s Nazi Germany each and every day.
@D Casey have you actually read “Mein Kamph”
@JRG2733 you should watch the movie on Amazon Forbidden Borders and you will see how Socialism affected the Russians and the Berlin Wall
@wel1968 yes, he is a symptom of American people’s alienation and apathy. The American people are the sole purveyors of power to their governors. They just haven’t had to fight for their republic since they first instituted it.
Our country is run by Putin, he has something over on Trump
NOPE! Been thinking that for over two years. And professors have written articles in major publications warning of exactly this scenario. Some written before 2 years ago.
Trump is so innocent he is blocking everything and everybody from testifying.
Trump the guy that WAS CONVICTED OF DEFRAUDING A CHILDREN’S CANCER CHARITY and great Republican.
Don’t forget, they also defrauded a veterans charity.
@Gary Pickford And scammed students knowing it’ll bankrupt them.
…and he is concerned about his legacy? Didn’t he steal money from his handicapped nephew.
Collateral damage for killing the Iranian general was the airliner being brought down,was it not?
And tried defraud his own dement-ridden father, to make *him* the sole heir, screwing over his siblings in the process.
What a circus joke presidency, that’s an understatement
Still haven’t heard trump’s attorneys speak on his innocence.
Because they can not. They know he is very guilty.
Classified my butt. This president only classifies what affects him personally.
To Trump, “Classified” means: anything that could hurt him.
And unclassified means anything he tells the Russians
Read an article about “The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow”. Very informative read.
Just like how literally any news negative towards him is “Fake News”
He literally tweeted that xD
To Calvin MSNBC means…. must chant. Orange man bad.
@Webfoot Trucker Doesn’t make sense though
This …all of this, HAS TO BE ILLEGAL. DUMP SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED WHEN HE REFUSED ALL SUBPOENAS, PERIOD.
