Uh... yes. You KNOW he was, but you have to argue to save face... for the 1,000th time. Can't bullshit semantics your way out of
this one. It's a matter of record, faggot.
The BIDEN administration was investigating this and decided to drop it for political reasons, since they were investigating FOR
political reasons.
The Biden administration dropped the civil lawsuit and a separate grand jury investigation into John Bolton over his book, "The
Room Where It Happened," in June 2021. The investigation, which was started by the prior administration's Department of Justice,
was initially based on allegations that Bolton's book contained classified information.
According to statements from Bolton's lawyers and former Justice Department officials, the Biden administration's decision WAS SEEN
AS A TACIT ACKNOWLEDGMENT that the PREVIOUS EFFORTS TO BLOCK THE BOOK'S PUBLICATION WERE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. Bolton's legal team
argued that the original lawsuit and criminal inquiry were illegitimate attempts to suppress a book CRITICAL OF THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION'S (Biden's) foreign policy. The Biden administration's Justice Department did not provide a public reason for
dropping the case, but THE MOVE WAS INTERPRETED BY MANY AS AN ATTEMPT TO DISTANCE ITSELF FROM WHAT WAS VIEWED AS POLITICAL
RETRIBUTION.
More bullshit DEMOCRAT lawfare.
> I admit that what is classified is complex...
Classified is classified.
I didn't see you defending Trump and the "levels" of classification of the documents HE had, faggocrite.

THAT'S not the issue, Shift Queen.
LOL... so... he was just testing the waters?
Your ego and narcissism is making you look like a fucking stupid idiot.

So, you admit he DID want it published with classified material.
Thank you.
Why put something in a manuscript, if you KNOW it will be "deleted"?
Your lakehouse rich bullshit liberal circular logic has reached its end.
The "game" is no longer afoot.
It is a PLONK!

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
