It isn't the equivalent of 1950 for Trump. He is up for re-election in less than five months. Bolton's book is an anti-Trump message during an election year.

Yeah but it was after an impeachment in which he could have testified.
He could have. But it would have been just more hot air. I don't think any testimony could have changed that outcome.
Hopefully Bolton factored in the inevitability of Trump siccing Barr on the publishing company. Bolton has to know that was coming. I’d love to see this book released, credibility issues of the author and all.
Book is already out there, with all the "prerelease" copies given out. Pentagon Papers case limited government ability to stop publication. We will see how far Barr and the DoJ get with their lawsuit. Free speech will be at issue. The government will have to show just what classified material got published.
The Trump declaration that presidential discussions are highly classified is a two edged sword. Is the president guilty of releasing classified material every time he makes public some presidential discussion with his advisors?
They're also claiming it's a bunch of lies. You can't have a classified lie.

Fuck John Bolton. He is a piece of shit.

He was more than happy to participate in the debacle when it meant he could try to overthrow a few regimes.
