From WSJopinion: White House officials are attempting to use national security as a pretext to prevent the publication of John Bolton’s memoir. They won’t succeed, writes Chuck Cooper.

President Trump doesn’t want John Bolton to publish his book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.” It was supposed to come out in March, but Simon & Schuster was twice forced to push the publication date back more than three months, to June 23, while the manuscript underwent “prepublication review” by the National Security Council .

opinion White House officials are attempting to use national security as a pretext to prevent the publication of John Bolton’s memoir. They won’t succeed, because AmbJohnBolton is a mean smart 'SOB' who knows how to hold a grudge.

opinion Get the book out on the street. Let the public see what goes on in the WH with Dipstick Don and let him again attack anyone who points out that he is insane and a sociopath.

opinion Bolton is a STOOGE exhibiting sour grapes because Trump went his own way instead of following Boltons failed policies of the past. Boston's arrogance is stunning. America rejected Bolton when he ran for Pres. Get over yourself.

opinion What’s Bolton upto? I don’t believe it’s for a payday.

opinion This asshole AmbJohnBolton played EVERYONE

opinion Thx for the free read WSJ.

opinion So What. Bolton had his chance to spill the beans but like the coward he is relented. he's not going to say anything we don't know or suspect already about Trump. We know Trump lied so what we waiting for? For Bolton to say this? It won't sell.

opinion The guy left angry, of course he's going to spew venom.

opinion Ohh no...ohh no! The whole idea of multiparty democracy is the freedom of information (OPENNESS) right. So what is there to hide? USA is not SOVIET UNION or a dictatorship. What we don’t see...must be seen in a HEALTHY democracy. FACTS & ACCOUNTABILITY is a Conor Stone of FREEDOM

opinion No one gives a rip about John Bolton. All Bolton is doing is trying to get publicity for his book. He shamelessly used the impeachment debacle for the same purpose. Bolton could have testified. He didn’t. Bolton is a creep.

opinion Does anyone on either side of the aisle believe Bolton is truthful?

opinion Oh yeah! Totally forgot about his book.

opinion As usual. NeverTrumpers

opinion Isn't it Trump who always states that freedom of speech is most important? This makes looks like it's only certain speech that is allowed to freedom.

opinion 220 YEARS OF DOW/GOLD RATIO

opinion Oh no! The crazy moustache man-of-war is back! lol

opinion Bolton never saw a war he didn’t like.

opinion Another attempt by Trump to suppress the truth.

opinion Traitor

opinion Bolton, Sessions, and Pompeo getting jobs proved there was never going to be any swamp draining.

opinion I hear about this book for months now! Where is it?!

opinion John bolton is neocon warhawk garbage who lies to fill deep pockets- why does anyone care what he has to say about anything

opinion Oh nooes. A neocon wrote a book and is now a media hero because Orange Man Bad.

opinion Declare a National Aesthetic Emergency and burn that trash.

opinion More book bullshit.

opinion The WH is actually increasing the interest in Bolton’s book by using this strategy .After Bolton's refusal to testify at impeachment, interest has been lackluster

opinion bumfight

opinion Bolton needs freedom of speech. Hypocritical America

opinion At this point we don't need anything from this coward......He is not relevant anymore he should go and smoke his pipes

opinion

opinion They are trying to protect Trump. Trump is the main threat to America and Americans. USA boltonbook impeachment Trump realDonaldTrump

opinion let the TRUTH come out!! oh wait, Dictator Trump doesn’t want ANY truth about him to be known.

opinion This book will be more nothing.

rayjax919 opinion I hope not, but Bolton should have been patriotic enough to speak up when he could have stopped the monster Trump.

opinion The loser is trying to make a dollar. You can find more info in the stupid magazine US WEEKLY...

opinion I believe he wrote a bunch of stuff in it that’s considered classified government information. Not sure what that entails though.

opinion They still trying to push this rag.

opinion This will be soooooo goood. I mean... you know everything is going to be true. There is no doubt 🍊🤡 did it. No moral or base or history to say otherwise. From security advisors to company CEOs.

opinion Good. The longer they delay the publication of John Bolton's memoir the more people will read it.

opinion Bolton lost his job not because of political differences with Trump. Because his assistant had a fight on a plane with Melania Trump. Melania is a Liberal Democrat. While Bolton is establishment Republican. Their views didn’t match. This is why Melania asked Trump to fire Bolton.

opinion If Bolton decided to become a Commie - he belongs to jail.

BernardGoldberg opinion It’s all about taking down Trump! John Bolton will and I’m sure has fudged the truth, just to sell! It’s all about the Benjamin.

opinion

opinion wow. this book must really show Don the Con in a bad light. Naked and afraid realDonaldTrump

opinion Preposterous!Poppycock!Where is the courage in our publishing communities. Since when! Secrecy is overrated! Silencing the press will not stand! Neither will racism! He's a fascist racist bigoted cad. A criminal impresario leading a religious death cult Senate majority(save Mitt

opinion Why would anyone buy/read this book? If it was important information, he would've testified to Congress. Just opportunistic efforts to make a buck from hearsay info.

opinion Predictable.

opinion John Bolton looks like one of those guys that has his own unique smell.

opinion John it's OK the toilet paper crisis was a hoax we won't need your book.

opinion I’ve now seen a second rational column on a WSJ opinion page. Someone needs to call FuckingMurdoch and find out what’s gone wrong on the country’s dumbest editorial pages.

opinion So much bologna! Of all people, Bolton knows what is and is not 'national security'!

opinion The publisher will send me a complimentary copy of his book, which I have no interest in reading anymore.

opinion Bolton's book no longer even matters. Since January when Bolton squandered his chance to have his words mean something, Trump has gone so far beyond the deceit that back then was shocking. So what, John? So what? You're not a patriot. You're a shameless snake-oil salesman

opinion HAHAH this is funny shit.. They have pissed on our national security since 2016. Private cell phones, allowing hostile foreign nations and their equipment into the oval office. Private email servers. Giving top secret clearance to a dozen folks that were flagged as being risks.

BernardGoldberg opinion It’s time for the trump pence team to resign. They’re lightening rods and sew discord. This country is about to end because of them. This is the worst year ever. I pray they do the right thing and leave.

opinion RELEASE THE STACHE !

opinion Why is it the mid-week opinions are interesting and the weekend opinions read like a right-wing populist rag?

opinion Personally, im going to enjoy watching Bolton getting stab by White House

opinion here's the deal AmbJohnBolton ...LEAK the book I will Promise to buy it later otherwise SCREW YOU! I will never buy it.. OR come out and tell what you know or NO ONE should ever pay for that damn book fuckBolton Bolton

opinion Just publish it online for free
