Yeah it is unlikely she would block that and I am sure such things as changing out pictures is the job of some administrative staffer. Highly unlikely career diplomats would do this even if the president was as awful as Trump.
We do know the trump administration is full of shady self serving con people and it is likely this story was reported to Trump with the hopes of getting her out of the way of their grifts.
The podcaster Mike Duncan published a book and encouraged his listeners to pre-order to make the NYT bestseller list. According to his publisher they had a good shot with 5000 preorders. He did get 8000 to enter at ~no.6. Therefore I think it tool more than that one bulk order to get it to no.1.
So the RNC is paying Don Jr to help promote his book? And I think there was a news story the other day about some Republican PAC or something buying a bunch of copies to help him get on the NYT best seller list or something? Maybe the same thing… Anyway, about that…
John Bolton is going to make a lot more than that $2M advance for selling his story via a book that comes out after the 2020 election rather than testifying. Trump and the GOP are literally buying him off.
Merriam Webster defines Donald Trump as the most amazing father that has ever or will ever be born. I checked Oxford but I think it’s fake because I sailed my yacht all the way to Oxford for a copy and couldn’t find one. That’s a quote by Tocqueville. in conclusion, the death penalty has been a controversial subject for years, but this proves my point.
I’m not sure if that’s the real grift but the obvious grifting of some sort by him right now is shameful.
Do you give no credence to his actions throughout the scandal before impeachment? Telling Fiona Hill he won’t be part of this “drug deal” is not insignificant.
