Perfect Timing: Anonymous Sources Claim Bolton Book Manuscript Accuses Trump of Tying Ukraine Aid to Biden Investigations

Several anonymous sources have reportedly told The New York Times that a book manuscript by Ambassador John Bolton , the former National Security Advisor to President Trump , accuses Trump of tying the hold up of aid to Ukraine last year with his desire for investigations into the Bidens and interference by Ukraine in the 2016 election , something Trump has vehemently denied but has been impeached by the House and is on trial for in the Senate .

Excerpt:
President Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser, John R. Bolton. The president’s statement as described by Mr. Bolton could undercut a key element of his impeachment defense: that the holdup in aid was separate from Mr. Trump’s requests that Ukraine announce investigations into his perceived enemies, including former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden, who had worked for a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was in office. Mr. Bolton’s explosive account of the matter at the center of Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial, the third in American history, was included in drafts of a manuscript he has circulated in recent weeks to close associates. He also sent a draft to the White House for a standard review process for some current and former administration officials who write books. Multiple people described Mr. Bolton’s account of the Ukraine affair. The book presents an outline of what Mr. Bolton might testify to if he is called as a witness in the Senate impeachment trial, the people said. The White House could use the pre-publication review process, which has no set time frame, to delay or even kill the book’s publication or omit key passages. …Key to Mr. Bolton’s account about Ukraine is an exchange during a meeting in August with the president after Mr. Trump returned from vacation at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. Mr. Bolton raised the $391 million in congressionally appropriated assistance to Ukraine for its war in the country’s east against Russian-backed separatists. Officials had frozen the aid, and a deadline was looming to begin sending it to Kyiv, Mr. Bolton noted. He, Mr. Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper had collectively pressed the president about releasing the aid nearly a dozen times in the preceding weeks after lower-level officials who worked on Ukraine issues began complaining about the holdup, Mr. Bolton wrote. Mr. Trump had effectively rebuffed them, airing his longstanding grievances about Ukraine, which mixed legitimate efforts by some Ukrainians to back his Democratic 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton, with unsupported accusations and outright conspiracy theories about the country, a key American ally. …In his August 2019 discussion with Mr. Bolton, the president appeared focused on the theories Mr. Giuliani had shared with him, replying to Mr. Bolton’s question that he preferred sending no assistance to Ukraine until officials had turned over all materials they had about the Russia investigation that related Mr. Biden and supporters of Mrs. Clinton in Ukraine…

Trump’s counsel Eric Herschmann on Monday went after serial liar Adam Schiff’s “mob, gangster-like fake rendition” of the transcript of Trump’s call to Zelensky.
President Trump’s lawyers showed up on day two of their defense and brought the pain.
Mr. Herschmann took it straight to Schiff and called him out for his lies and treachery.
Schiff previously read a completely fabricated transcript of Trump’s call to Zelensky during his opening statement before the House Intelligence Committee.
“Remember the fake transcript that manager Schiff read when he was before the Intelligence committee?” Herschmann said. “His mob, gangster-like fake rendition of the call? Well, I prosecuted organized crime for years.”
Herschmann continued, “What House manager Schiff tried to create for the American people is completely detached from reality. It is as if we are supposed to believe that mobsters would invite people they do not know into an organized crime meeting to sit around and take notes to establish the corrupt intent.”
Herschmann said Schiff “ran away from the actual transcript” because he had to make it sound like Trump was shaking down a foreign leader for his benefit.
“It’s totally illogical,” Herschmann said.

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday exposed the corrupt and nefarious actions by Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and their money laundering scheme with Burisma Holdings.
Pam Bondi opened her testimony by asserting the Democrats mentioned Burisma and Hunter Biden 400 times during their opening arguments last week.
Ms. Bondi clearly and concisely showed how Hunter Biden was sitting on the board of a very corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company whilst his father then-Vice President Joe Biden was tasked with handling Ukrainian relations.
The Senators got to see for the first time all of the bank statements proving Hunter Biden was paid over $3 million in a 17-month time span for sitting on the board of Burisma, despite having zero experience in oil and gas.
Bondi not only exposed the Bidens’ corruption in Ukraine, she also brought up Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal from the Bank of China after flying with his daddy on Air Force Two to China.
But the three largest networks, ABC, CBS and NBC blacked out Bondi’s damning presentation exposing the Biden crime family.
Fake news networks, all regulated by the FCC, are covering for the Democrats and protecting 2020 Democrat front runner Joe Biden!
In contrast, the same three networks carried impeachment manager Schiff’s live presentations.
BREAKING: All Big 3 networks ABC, CBS, NBC blacked out Trump defense lawyer Pam Bondi's presentation this afternoon of Ukraine corruption related to Joe Biden, son Hunter Biden & Burisma.

UPDATE: Matt Schlapp says Pavlich did have her facts straight, “[email protected] is correct. Clinton was being sued for his sexual assaults in this case on Paula Jones. During that process Lewinsky’s affair came to light. In the end Clinton committed 11 felonies, paid almost $1 million in fines to Jones and AR disbarred him.”

Bob Driscoll: “The latest story from the New York Time s, coordinated with a book launch, has more to do with publicity than the truth. John Bolton never informed Mick Mulvaney of any concerns surrounding Bolton’s purported August conversation with the President. Nor did Mr. Mulvaney ever have a conversation with the president or anyone else indicating that Ukrainian military aid was withheld in exchange for a Ukrainian investigation of Burisma, the Bidens, or the 2016 election. Furthermore, Mr. Mulvaney has no recollection of any conversation with Mr. Giuliani resembling that reportedly described in Mr. Bolton’s manuscript… It was Mr. Mulvaney’s practice to excuse himself from conservations between the President and his personal counsel to preserve any attorney-client privilege.”


thegatewaypundit--2020-01-27--Federal Prosecutor: Prince Andrew Has Provided ‘Zero Cooperation’ In Jeffrey Epstein Probe

That ’ s how Prince Andrew is treating the sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein , a top federal prosecutor overseeing the case said .
Speaking at a news conference outside Epstein ’ s New York mansion , U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman , a federal prosecutor in Manhattan , said prosecutors and the FBI have contacted the British prince and requested an interview .
“ To date , Prince Andrew has provided zero cooperation , ” Berman said .
Prince Andrew palled around with Epstein for years , visiting his Manhattan penthouse , his Florida mansion , and his private @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point , when the two were together in London , the prince was pictured with Virginia Roberts Guiffre , who claims that he had sex with her when she was just 17 years old .
Andrew has vehemently denied the pair ever had sex , but she has detailed the evening several times , including once in a lawsuit against Epstein .
Last September , Guiffre said in an NBC interview that Prince Andrew was “ pouring with perspiration ” when they danced at a London club called Tramp in 2001 .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was sweating profusely all over me .
I just remember like , ‘ Ugh , I need a shower .
This is disgusting.
’ “ Andrew made a bizarre defense about the claim .
During the BBC interview , interviewer Emily Maitlis asked the Prince about Guiffre ’ s account .
“ She described dancing with you… and you profusely sweating.
” Prince Andrew said that ’ s impossible , claiming that he had a medical condition at the time that made it so he did not sweat .
“ There ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have a peculiar medical condition which is that I don ’ t sweat or I didn ’ t sweat at the time .
Yes , I didn ’ t sweat at the time because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War , when I was shot at and I simply … it was almost impossible for me to sweat , ” he said .
Andrew announced last year that he was withdrawing from his royal duties amid renewed attention of his friendship with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Queen Elizabeth II , authorized her son ’ s eviction from the London palace in what is just “ the latest humiliation for the beleaguered ” Duke of York , The Times of London reported .
That puts Andrew out in the cold , with no official offices and no official duties .
“ It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family ’ s work and the valuable work going on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I am proud to support , ” Andrew said in a statement last month .
There are many skeptics as to whether Epstein killed himself , as prison authorities claim .
And Berman said the case if far from over .
“ Jeffrey Epstein couldn ’ t have done what he did without the assistance of others , and I can assure you that the investigation is moving forward , ” he said .

“Zero cooperation.”
