That book, along with a clear statement from Bolton that he has information relevant to the impeachment and is willing to testify \u2013 if subpoenaed \u2013 appears to be yet another in a long line of Trump administration tell-all books.<\/p>\n<p>The release date expected for this memoir appears to have been scripted by the gods of top-seller-publishing but that potential reality simply points to the cynical and self-serving nature of power and politics. If Bolton has something relevent to say, and no doubt he has, is it not a bigger responsibility to do so for the sake of truth and the country\u2019s future than standing ceremony on receiving a subpoena?<\/p>\n<p>Like so many others today, he appears to be just another <strong>dust jacket patriot<\/strong>\u00a0waiting to capitalize on his story while it is a hot topic.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"amzn-assoc-ad-8cae2e4f-578e-4bea-acd6-3664cec13e37\"><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US&#038;adInstanceId=8cae2e4f-578e-4bea-acd6-3664cec13e37\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Bolton had something relevent to say it would have been responsible to do so for the sake of truth and country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[15],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":548,"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429\/revisions\/548"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nycentral.com\/View\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
