I told you that the Dems were working their same tired old playbook and would undoubtedly leak more ‘bombshells’ during the course of the Senate trial. I’m sure you’re all aware by now that an excerpt from John Bolton’s upcoming book was leaked to the NYT claiming that Trump told him that the aid would be withheld until Ukraine started investigating the Bidens.

Here’s what you may not know. On December 30, a draft was provided for a prepublication review by the NSA as is required. Now guess who is responsible for such reviews — colonel Vindman’s identical twin brother Yevgeny. That’s right the twin brother of the guy who illegally leaked the Ukraine phone call to the whistleblower has had the Bolton transcript for almost a month and apparently it wasn’t leak worthy until just in time to aid the Dems in trying prolong the trial and call witnesses.

Now at this point I don’t know whether excerpt is accurate or disinformation like the whistleblower complaint. Trump has denied it, Bolton hasn’t confirmed it and at the end of the day Ukraine got the aid and didn’t have to do anything for it.

PS. Since I put up this rant this morning, I have heard that the NYT has said they don’t have the transcript but were told what it says. I am now heavily leaning towards disinformation as part of the same old playbook.
