westernjournal--2020-09-09--Documentary: Hunter Biden ‘Served’ Chinese Communist Party with His Dealings

Joe Biden should probably consider himself a very lucky man that Hunter Biden ’ s various , um , associations haven ’ t been a major campaign issue since he became the Democratic Party ’ s presumptive nominee .
To be fair , we ’ ve had other concerns since then .
However , the former vice president ’ s wayward son is still there and still has a wayward past — including some troubling business deals .
Now , a documentary narrated by the author of the 2015 bestseller “ Clinton Cash : The Untold Story of How and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bill and Hillary Rich ” aims to shed light on several of those deals over in China .
According to the New York Post , which previewed “ Riding the Dragon : The Bidens ’ Chinese Secrets , ” the 41-minute film argues that the firm Hunter Biden sat on the board of served the “ strategic interests ” of the Chinese Communist Party .
The film is now being streamed in several parts by the BlazeTV network on YouTube .
TRENDING : Police Officer Dies After Being Shot While Attempting To Arrest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less well-known of the problematic foreign firms the vice-presidential progeny found himself on the board of — but it could be more important , “ Clinton Cash ” author Peter Schweizer said .
Schweizer said in the film that that beginning in 2013 , when it was founded , “ Hunter ’ s new firm … began making investment deals around the world that would serve the strategic interests of the Chinese government.
” “ This new firm started making investment deals that would serve the strategic interests of the Chinese military , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would only get meetings with Chinese officials because Joe Biden was the vice president of the United States and then-President Barack Obama ’ s “ point person on U.S. policy towards China.
” Hunter Biden ’ s spokesman claimed he was never remunerated for his position on BHR Partners ’ board and hadn ’ t recouped his original investment as of October of 2019 , according to the Wall Street Journal .
That investment was made in 2017 and estimated at $ 420,000 , after his father was no longer vice president .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was published , he resigned from the firm .
The company , the Journal noted , “ is controlled and funded primarily by large Chinese government-owned shareholders.
” “ Over the past roughly six years , it has channeled $ 2.5 billion or more on behalf of its financial backers into automotive , energy , mining and technology deals , according to interviews with people familiar with the private-equity firm and a review by The Wall Street Journal of financial filings and other official business records , ” the Journal reported .
One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s firm invested in , Face++ , is discussed in the film — specifically having to do with the alleged use of their software in a Chinese government app deployed in Xinjiang province and used to surveil Muslims .
According to The Intercept , Human Rights Watch quickly walked back its 2019 report on the app .
“ The app provides law enforcement with easy , daily access to data detailing the religious activity , blood type , and even the amount of electricity used by ethnic minority Muslims living in the western @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported .
“ The app relies heavily on facial recognition software supplied by Face++ , a division of the Chinese startup Megvii , a relationship that sparked questions in the press for Megvii investors .
One of the most prominent of these investors is Alibaba Group Holding , which was co-founded by Jack Ma , the wealthiest Chinese billionaire and an icon for the country ’ s image of entrepreneurship .
“ The flurry of media reports this week about Face++ , Ma , and the role of the private sector in building @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however , left out another prominent investor in the company : Hunter Biden.
” Schweizer argued that “ these deals didn ’ t just make the Bidens money — they had potentially dangerous consequences for our national security.
” He also said that Hunter Biden ’ s 10 percent stake in BHR was “ worth millions of dollars and stands to be worth even more as its China partnership prospers , ” something that belies Biden ’ s statement that he didn ’ t recoup his initial investment .
Another troubling BHR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state-owned company China General Nuclear Power Corp. Szuhsiung “ Allen ” Ho , a China General nuclear engineer , was arrested in 2016 and sentenced to 24 months behind bars in 2017 after he pleaded guilty to conspiring to illegally obtain nuclear technology for his firm from the U.S. “ Today , Allen Ho is being held accountable for enlisting U.S.-based nuclear experts to provide assistance in developing and producing special nuclear material in China for a Chinese state-owned nuclear power company .
He did so without the required authorization from the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Assistant Attorney General Boente at the time , according to a Department of Justice news release .
“ Prosecuting those who unlawfully facilitate the acquisition of sensitive nuclear technology by foreign nations continues to be a top priority of the National Security Division.
” Then there was the case of CEFC China Energy Co. executive Chi Ping Patrick Ho , arrested by the FBI for bribing African officials .
After he was taken into custody , Schweizer said , “ one of his first calls ” was to Joe Biden ’ s brother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said he thought Ho was trying to reach Hunter Biden instead .
“ Why exactly was he calling Hunter Biden ?
What sort of help was he expecting ?
” Schweizer said in the film .
It ’ s worth noting that some of the allegations made in the film have been disputed by the Biden camp .
For instance , take the film ’ s assertion that a $ 1 billion funding deal was secured shortly after Hunter Biden returned from a trip to China aboard Air Force Two with his father @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deal was reached before Hunter Biden even boarded the plane to China and that the initial capitalization was only $ 4.2 million .
Schweizer has previously noted , however , that BHR Holdings ’ launch seemed to happen felicitously with Joe Biden ’ s negotiations with China .
That ’ s not entirely the point , though .
BHR Partners isn ’ t even the first company you could mention where Hunter Biden has sat on the board .
The other , of course , is Ukrainian state energy giant Burisma .
Did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either of these economies or sectors ?
Not really .
What he did have was the last name Biden and the presumed access that came with that .
It ’ d be difficult to put together a forensic report on how this influenced Joe Biden or even whether it did , but the fact of the matter is that Hunter ’ s position on the board of Burisma was a clear conflict of interest , particularly when you consider that Joe Biden joked about having muscled a prosecutor investigating Burisma out and congratulated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecutor .
This didn ’ t get mentioned during the Democratic nominating process , if just because the first rule of Joe Biden is that you don ’ t talk about Hunter Biden .
It didn ’ t really get talked about during the presidential race , either , if just because events overtook Hunter Biden ’ s overseas dalliances so quickly .
Last year , when asked if there was a “ certain irony ” that President Trump ’ s impeachment had brought up the issue of Hunter Biden ’ s involvement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it “ sets a bad image.
” The problem is that Ukraine is nothing compared to China , particularly when it comes to the image a president has to project .
If he thinks Burisma was “ a bad image , ” he has no idea what this is going to look like to American voters if the message gets out there .

On Monday, the far-left network aired a program called “Fight for the White House: Joe Biden’s Long Journey,” in which it shared a decades-old picture of Biden holding one of his sons, Fox News reported.
The image is among one Biden shared to his Facebook page on Father’s Day:

But the image CNN aired featured a stunning and bizarre omission.
Biden, being a lifelong politician, lived in Washington for decades.
And so his son was apparently a fan of the Washington Football Team formerly known as the Redskins.
In the original image, Biden’s son (it’s not clear whether it is Beau or Hunter) is wearing a hat with the Redskins logo.
It looks like the pair might have even been at a Redskins game enjoying a father-son moment.
But in the photo broadcast by CNN, the Redskins logo is curiously gone — apparently airbrushed out of the image and out of history:
Here’s the video clip featuring the doctored image:
Of course, the NFL franchise changed its name and logo in July after folding to pressure from the PC mob.
While the Redskins name and logo is now a mere memory for fans of the franchise, apparently that wasn’t good enough for CNN.

The women in the video tore up the signs and the stole the hat from the 7-year-old boy, Fox News reported.
The child pleaded for the return of his hat, but the women cursed at him. One of them was also recorded appearing to strike at his mother.
The boy pleaded with his mother to “call 911.”
One of the women eventually threw the hat over a fence.
The incident was shared on Twitter by the Students for Trump group and later by Donald Trump Jr.:
Last night, Joe Biden supporters viciously attacked Riley, a 7 year-old @realDonaldTrump fan. Joe Biden supporters stole Riley’s hat, ripped up his sign & made him cry.
Watch. It’s on video. This is sick. Wilmington, DE please help us find them: pic.twitter.com/nqx061VXMt — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) August 21, 2020
The younger Trump’s video ended up being viewed more than 5 million times.
Students for Trump later reported the child’s name is Riley and he received a call from the White House.
Remember this video from last night? Where the radical Democrats stole a 7 year old boy’s MAGA hat and tried to pick a fight with his family? Well, Riley just received a call from the White House! https://t.co/GarUYYm0Ng — Students For Trump (@TrumpStudents) August 21, 2020
The Washington Examiner reported that Trump sent Riley a new hat, which he autographed for the boy.
The women on the video were identified by police and arrested, The News Journal reported.
Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, both 21, are the women behind the August attack, according to police.
Both Winslow and Amy are from Wilmington, and both face charges of “second-degree robbery, second-degree conspiracy, endangering the welfare of a child, third-degree assault, attempted third-degree assault, offensive touching and felony hate crimes,” according to The News Journal.

Police in Wilmington told the outlet that both women were arrested after being identified on the video and that they were arrested shortly after it was posted.
The alleged crimes could see Winslow and Amy face stiff prison sentences.
The News Journal reported the seven charges could add up to 15 years of potential jail time.

Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings issued a statement about the alleged attack in which she said that “harming another person — let alone a child — because of the expression of their views betrays the principles on which our country was founded.”
Jennings’ office chose to pursue the charges against Winslow and Amy.
In Delaware, a hate crime can include a “crime for the purpose of interfering with the victim’s free exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege or immunity protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, or commits said crime because the victim has exercised or enjoyed said rights.”
Both suspects are currently free on bond.

Man Who Allegedly Said He ‘Felt Compelled’ To Kill a White Person Suspected of Beating White Cellmate to Death

A black man who was arrested two weeks ago for allegedly stabbing a white retail worker in Georgia because he “ felt compelled to go stab a white male ” is now a suspect in the killing of his white cellmate .
Jayvon Hatchett , 19 , was arrested and charged late last month in Columbus , Georgia , after police said he stabbed an AutoZone employee in the neck multiple times .
WLTZ-TV reported that Columbus police said the violent stabbing was random , but the man was motivated by a desire to kill a white man after he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suspects during violent confrontations .

WLTZ-TV reported that Columbus police said the violent stabbing was random, but the man was motivated by a desire to kill a white man after he watched videos online showing police officers shooting suspects during violent confrontations.
Hatchett allegedly decided to fight perceived police brutality by going into the auto parts store and killing a random white male employee.
The 19-year-old gleefully confessed the attack to an investigator, according to Columbus police.
“Mr. Hatchett told me that he had been watching Facebook videos of police shootings in other parts of the country and that he felt compelled to go stab a white male,” the arresting officer, Sgt. Ray Mills, testified.
The victim of the attack survived, but now Hatchett has allegedly succeeded in killing a white man.
On Saturday morning at the Muscogee County Jail, Hatchett’s cellmate was beaten to death, and the man who reportedly told police he wanted to kill a white male is the suspected killer, The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reported.

The victim’s mother seems to have a theory.
“I have a question for the sheriff,” she told WLTZ-TV. “Why? Why did you put my son and that other man in there together? Why?
“Can you answer me that? I lost a son because of y’all’s negligence.”
If Hatchett’s initial alleged crimes were racially motivated, as authorities say, the death of Nelson was a terribly predictable outcome.
By his own account, per police, Hatchett was driven solely to harm a white person at random. The case is under investigation.
It’s probably safe to speculate that leading up to the initial crime Hatchett is accused of committing, he didn’t come to the conclusion that killing a white male was the right thing to do on his own.
Many sick people, and especially mentally imbalanced people with propensities toward violence, watch TV news and pay attention to social media, too.
The message for those unable to see through the fog of the left’s war on truth is that police officers and white people are solely responsible for the ills of the world.
Democrats and the establishment media have fomented hatred and racial division for years.
Even before May 25, when George Floyd died while in Minneapolis police custody, every violent altercation involving a police officer and a racial minority was magnified, regardless of the details of each situation.
In the eyes of the establishment media, which subtly feeds people like Hatchett misinformation online, it appears no police shooting is ever justified.
To make the country’s racial tensions worse, black suspected criminals who are shot by police are sometimes lionized by Democrats before the facts are clear.
Sen. Kamla Harris, for example, told Jacob Blake she was “proud” of him when the two recently spoke, Blake’s lawyers said.

Blake was shot in the back multiple times during an altercation where he appeared to be noncompliant with police officers last month in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Harris, who made the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh hell as the spear of the #MeToo movement in 2018 based on flimsy allegations, was apparently unbothered by the fact that Blake is accused of criminal trespassing, sexual assault and disorderly conduct based on complaints by police and his former girlfriend, CNN reported.
We probably wouldn’t even know Blake’s name had he not been black when he was shot while appearing to ignore the commands of police officers and reaching into a vehicle with multiple guns drawn on him. Police said a knife was found on the floorboard.
But politicians such as Harris have assisted the establishment media in creating an environment where there is no longer due process and pushing a false narrative that being black is a death sentence.
Blake deserves his day in court, as do officers who are faced with difficult decisions while on the job.
But none of that matters to race-baiters and politicians seeking election.
Those who are derelict in their moral obligation to help preserve the bedrock principle of due process choose time and again to prioritize false racial narratives over truth.
The result, it appears, is an environment where apparently imbalanced or evil people feel emboldened, if not righteous, when they single out and attack people from other groups.

westernjournal--2020-09-09--‘Stop Using My Image’: Wounded Vet Sounds Off on People Using Him To Push Anti-Trump ‘Propaganda’

Who would have thought that Democrats would be the ones using wounded veterans for votes this election ?
Democrats are now pretending to be scandalized by Jeffrey Goldberg ’ s article in The Atlantic last week in which anonymous sources claimed President Donald Trump refused to visit a French military cemetery for American troops who died in World War I during a 2018 visit because it was “ filled with losers.
” The article also claimed that Trump didn ’ t want to lower the White House flag to half-staff when former Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain , a Vietnam-era @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ What the f— are we doing that for ?
Guy was a f—ing loser , ” Trump is alleged to have said . )
Trump also supposedly wanted wounded veterans kept out of a military parade , allegedly arguing that “ [ n ] obody wants to see that.
” All of a sudden , you ’ d have believed that the Democrats — members of a party which , during the 2018 midterms , didn ’ t even flinch at Kyrsten Sinema ’ s history of anti-American Iraq War protesting as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seat — were aghast at a hazily sourced report of the leak-averse Trump saying very problematic things about visiting a cemetery full of Americans who died in war .
No one questioned the piece or the fact that it came out years after the alleged incident occurred .
Instead , it was straight ahead with the new strategy , impugning Trump and “ supporting ” our veterans .
So quickly was this course of action decided upon that nobody bothered to check whether the wounded warriors who some liberals were using on their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ TRENDING : Police Officer Dies After Being Shot While Attempting To Arrest Assault Suspect As it turns out , that might have been helpful .
Bobby Henline is an Army vet who was the only survivor out of five who were caught in an IED blast in Iraq , according to Fox News .
Henline , who served four tours in Iraq , is now a comedian and motivational speaker .
And he says his picture is currently being used in what he calls “ propaganda ” circulated among Democrats in social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s a loser .
I say he ’ s a hero !
What do you say ?
” asks the specific meme in question , which features an image of Henline .
Well , what does he say ?
If you don ’ t bother asking , this is what you get : WARNING : The following video contains vulgar language that some viewers may find offensive .
“ Are we done lying to people ?
” Henline says in the video , asking liberal meme-makers to “ stop using my image.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Veterans Group Airs Ad Less Than 1 Day After Trump Accused of Insulting Military “ People , stop using me for your propaganda , for your agenda .
I ’ m not here for that .
I don ’ t know what Trump said , but I ’ m sure he didn ’ t call me a loser .
I didn ’ t hear him call me a loser , so this has got to stop .
Stop using my image.
” At the end of the video , he makes it clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side of the story .
“ Let ’ s get this out there on a bigger platform so people would know not to use me — not to put a face to whatever this is they think he said .
It ’ s ridiculous.
” Well , seek and ye shall receive .
His video was originally posted to social media on Monday .
On Tuesday , the very network Henline named published an interview with him .
“ I ’ m just so irritated that they put my image up there because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s calling me a loser , ” Henline told Fox , referencing Trump ’ s supposed remarks .
“ And they ’ re using that to sell something that they believe in for their agenda , ” he said .
“ It ’ s not fair to put [ veterans ] as props in the middle of all that.
” “ Them taking that well-recognized photo and using it for their agenda and changing veterans ’ mind , thinking the president talks to them like that is ridiculous , ” Henline said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ And that ’ s why I want to get it taken down because it shouldn ’ t be working .
People need to hear the truth .
That ’ s my image .
And it should not be up there speaking for me.
” He also says he doesn ’ t buy The Atlantic ’ s article .
“ I really believe the president didn ’ t say this , ” he added .
“ There ’ s been anonymous sources and there have been other sources in the room that aren ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe in his ways , but they ’ re still not going to slam him and make up this rumor and keep it spreading .
I don ’ t think he really said this.
” It ’ s amazing the alacrity with which the left has jumped onto the narrative that President Trump called those who gave everything for our country “ losers ” and “ suckers ” — including a slickly produced ad featuring military families released just hours after publication of the piece in The Atlantic , according to Bloomberg , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about it .
There ’ s a next-level issue , however , when you ’ re using a photograph of a veteran who doesn ’ t want to be involved , particularly if we ’ re talking about a wounded veteran .
Veterans are being used as props by the left — and should Democrats retake the White House , you can bet this will be the last time you see Bobby Henline mentioned by those who posted this meme .
Perhaps they ought to take Henline ’ s advice : “ Go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” he told Fox News .
“ If you don ’ t have the power to win on your own merits , that you have to tear down your opponent , that ’ s a problem there.
” We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism .

Democrats are now pretending to be scandalized by Jeffrey Goldberg’s article in The Atlantic last week in which anonymous sources claimed President Donald Trump refused to visit a French military cemetery for American troops who died in World War I during a 2018 visit because it was “filled with losers.”
The article also claimed that Trump didn’t want to lower the White House flag to half-staff when former Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain, a Vietnam-era prisoner of war, died. (“What the f— are we doing that for? Guy was a f—ing loser,” Trump is alleged to have said.) Trump also supposedly wanted wounded veterans kept out of a military parade, allegedly arguing that “[n]obody wants to see that.”
All of a sudden, you’d have believed that the Democrats — members of a party which, during the 2018 midterms, didn’t even flinch at Kyrsten Sinema’s history of anti-American Iraq War protesting as she successfully campaigned for an Arizona Senate seat — were aghast at a hazily sourced report of the leak-averse Trump saying very problematic things about visiting a cemetery full of Americans who died in war. No one questioned the piece or the fact that it came out years after the alleged incident occurred.
Instead, it was straight ahead with the new strategy, impugning Trump and “supporting” our veterans. So quickly was this course of action decided upon that nobody bothered to check whether the wounded warriors who some liberals were using on their anti-Trump memes were on their side.
As it turns out, that might have been helpful.
Bobby Henline is an Army vet who was the only survivor out of five who were caught in an IED blast in Iraq, according to Fox News.
Henline, who served four tours in Iraq, is now a comedian and motivational speaker. And he says his picture is currently being used in what he calls “propaganda” circulated among Democrats in social media circles.
“Trump says he’s a loser. I say he’s a hero! What do you say?” asks the specific meme in question, which features an image of Henline.
Well, what does he say? If you don’t bother asking, this is what you get:
WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that some viewers may find offensive.
#greenscreen damn it people! Stop using my image. President Trump let’s do lunch. #trump2020 Posted by Bobby Henline on Monday, September 7, 2020 [ic_rev]
“Are we done lying to people?” Henline says in the video, asking liberal meme-makers to “stop using my image.”
“People, stop using me for your propaganda, for your agenda. I’m not here for that. I don’t know what Trump said, but I’m sure he didn’t call me a loser. I didn’t hear him call me a loser, so this has got to stop. Stop using my image.”
At the end of the video, he makes it clear he wants the media to know his side of the story.
“Fox News, call me,” he said.
“Let’s get this out there on a bigger platform so people would know not to use me — not to put a face to whatever this is they think he said. It’s ridiculous.”
Well, seek and ye shall receive. His video was originally posted to social media on Monday. On Tuesday, the very network Henline named published an interview with him.
“I’m just so irritated that they put my image up there because now it looks like the president’s calling me a loser,” Henline told Fox, referencing Trump’s supposed remarks.
“And they’re using that to sell something that they believe in for their agenda,” he said. “It’s not fair to put [veterans] as props in the middle of all that.”
“Them taking that well-recognized photo and using it for their agenda and changing veterans’ mind, thinking the president talks to them like that is ridiculous,” Henline said. “And I believe it worked. And that’s why I want to get it taken down because it shouldn’t be working. People need to hear the truth. That’s my image. And it should not be up there speaking for me.”
He also says he doesn’t buy The Atlantic’s article.
“I really believe the president didn’t say this,” he added.
“There’s been anonymous sources and there have been other sources in the room that aren’t necessarily friends with the president or believe in his ways, but they’re still not going to slam him and make up this rumor and keep it spreading. I don’t think he really said this.”
It’s amazing the alacrity with which the left has jumped onto the narrative that President Trump called those who gave everything for our country “losers” and “suckers” — including a slickly produced ad featuring military families released just hours after publication of the piece in The Atlantic, according to Bloomberg, something which has the whiff of collusion about it.

There’s a next-level issue, however, when you’re using a photograph of a veteran who doesn’t want to be involved, particularly if we’re talking about a wounded veteran.
Veterans are being used as props by the left — and should Democrats retake the White House, you can bet this will be the last time you see Bobby Henline mentioned by those who posted this meme.
Perhaps they ought to take Henline’s advice: “Go on what you have with facts,” he told Fox News. “If you don’t have the power to win on your own merits, that you have to tear down your opponent, that’s a problem there.”

westernjournal--2020-09-09--John Bolton Defends Trump Against Atlantic Report Claiming He Insulted Troops: ‘That Was False’

Former Trump administration National Security Advisor John Bolton isn ’ t a fan of his former boss , the president .
The two aren ’ t going to be dining at Mar-a-Lago anytime soon .
In fact , if it feels like only yesterday that he was omnipresent on political TV , telling us that not only had President Donald Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukraine but he ’ d arguably done it with a series of other nations .

The modish outrage , instead , began with Jeffrey Goldberg ’ s article published last week in The Atlantic where he claimed Trump would frequently disparage the troops and did so before he canceled a 2018 visit to a cemetery for American war dead in France .
“ Why should I go to that cemetery ?

“ I don ’ t know who told the author that , but that was false.
” Bolton said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trip had been canceled because of the weather , not that that Trump was hopping mad he ’ d have to spend the day with some “ losers ” or “ suckers.

“The main issue was whether or not weather conditions permitted the president to go out to the Aisne-Marne cemetery,” Bolton said.
John Kelly, the White House chief of staff at the time, told the president the “logistical reasons why the trip couldn’t take place, and the president assented to the recommendation that he not go,” Bolton said.
As for The Atlantic article’s other claims or those who’ve also anonymously told other outlets the president said similar things, Bolton wasn’t in a position to deny them but seemed to express skepticism.
“Look, obviously, I can’t prove the negative that he never said those things,” he said. “The president has a habit of disparaging people. He ends up denigrating almost everybody that he comes in contact with whose last name is not Trump.

Bolton’s book, which is getting terrible reviews, is a compilation of lies and made up stories, all intended to make me look bad. Many of the ridiculous statements he attributes to me were never made, pure fiction. Just trying to get even for firing him like the sick puppy he is! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 18, 2020
How believable this all is to you probably depends on your relative opinion of Donald Trump and/or John Bolton, but the point is there’s no love between the two of them. And yet Bolton has made it clear that if the story were true, it would have formed a whole chapter in his book.
Bolton isn’t the only one to cast doubt on parts of the Goldberg story; many others have done so, including former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders and White House deputy director of communications Dan Scavino.
I was with POTUS in France, with Sarah, and have been at his side throughout it all. Complete lies by “anonymous sources” that were “dropped” just as he begins to campaign (and surge). A disgraceful attempt to smear POTUS, 60 days before the Presidential Election! Disgusting!! https://t.co/mQfCNUlyZm — Dan Scavino??? (@DanScavino) September 4, 2020
These were some of the moments I witnessed the President show his heart and demonstrate how much he respects the selfless and courageous men and women of our military. I am disgusted by this false attack. — Sarah Huckabee Sanders (@SarahHuckabee) September 4, 2020
Sanders and Scavino going on record about this story is one thing, but Bolton’s denial is quite another, particularly given his feelings on the subject.
Goldberg himself has said that the anonymous sourcing for his piece is “not good enough” but that the people he talked to were afraid of “angry tweets and all the rest.”
When no one has gone on record about these statements and the former national security advisor will — when there’s nothing in it for him and he’s merely deleting the temporary goodwill he may have earned from the left from his book — that should tell you quite a great deal.
