"scrupulously complied with national security requirements"?
Did #Bolton's attny access manuscript? Reports are he did. Then he did not "scrupulously" comply w/US law. I am repeatedly told I cannot access "classified" manuscripts unless authorized. And I hold #securityclearance.
That's not even mentioning literary agent who had access. Editors who had access. And whoever can see printed book awaiting distribution.
All contractual violations of #Bolton's non-disclosure agreement & possibly criminal if classified info is still in his book.
Now this often happens, especially when author doesn't have experienced legal counsel in prepub matters. Govt usually doesn't do anything so long as book is actually not published.
Uh oh. I sense a brewing storm here.
Maybe Govt will buy all copies of the first print run in order to allow publisher to issue unclassified version. That's what happened in another one of my cases a decade ago. Except #Bolton's print run far exceeds this one.
