I read that he said that "business as usual" at the White House was about re-election and personal enrichment, and obstruction of justice was an everyday occurrence.
and you are surprised because…? This is simply a confirmation of what many have long suspected/known about the Trump Whitehouse. Trump's father was in bed with the Mafia so that is how he was raised. It is really all Trump knows.
He basically admitted to a criminal act after the fact when he can no longer be prosecuted for it.
Why not? The statute of limitations has a long time to go before it runs out. On the other hand, Bolton may believe prosecution is inevitable (New York State alone has a number of major criminal charges pending against Trump, and others in his family, for tax evasion, and fraud) and is counting on turning state's witness to testify against Trump and others in the Whitehouse once Trump is out of office and thereby earn himself immunity from prosecution. Bolton may consider the book an advertisement to prosecutors of what he has to offer them in trade.
