The bombshell that John Bolton had a book coming, one which would confirm a quid-pro-quo and establish that the Trump administration defense was garbage may have surprised some Republican senators, but it came at absolutely no surprise to the person living in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The Washington Post cites a NY Times story, and makes the links. 

Bolton’s lawyer says he provided the manuscript to the White House on Dec. 30, 2019, for classification review — nearly a month ago.

Importantly, the Times reports that the manuscript might have given Trump’s lawyers a preview of what Bolton would testify.

The White House sat on this fact long enough that Republican Senators stuck their neck out there and swore loyalty oaths to the President, only now discover the man with the mustache may make them all fools. When US Senators are wondering what happened to them, what exactly should the president be doing? Well, planning a year-long party of sorts, right?

Reports from Politico indicate that President Trump is prepared to fire up the jet and take to the skies, running a victory lap tour.

President Donald Trump is already itching to broadcast the series finale of his impeachment.

“The president is giving a lot of thought to where he goes when he is acquitted and vindicated,” a senior administration official said. “This isn’t a one-and-done moment. This will be a sustained exit from a long dreary impeachment process and a great reset to 2020 — not just the 2020 reelection but the 2020 domestic and international arena.”

President Trump is spending more time plotting a victory lap tour — for being impeached — complete with a media plan and a tour. What remains to be seen is how many bus tire tracks are left on senate coattails in places like Maine, Arizona, Colorado.
