The report that John Bolton's book draft implicates President Trump more closely to ordering a delay in military aid to Ukraine is hardly a surprise and won't-and shouldn't-change the impeachment result.
Mr. Trump and his media acolytes are calling Mr. Bolton a mercenary who is merely trying to sell books.
Whoever leaked the book's contents wants to use Mr. Bolton to turn the Senate impeachment trial into a larger political drama.
We've known Mr. Bolton long enough to doubt that he'd want to sandbag Republican Senators or the President he worked for.
All Mr. Bolton reportedly adds is news of a conversation in which Mr. Trump made a direct connection between the two that nearly everyone already assumed.
The problem for GOP Senators is they have to take the vote on witnesses without knowing what Mr. Bolton might say.
With the news of what's in the book already public, Mr. Bolton can help everyone, including himself, by erasing any doubt about what he knows.
