Can lies be classified?

They can be if the lie requires telling classified background the lie is based on.I guess I'm just amazed at the level of silly it takes for someone to not be able to see through Bolton.

Let's just just be thankful he didn't try to use the same tactics that he normally recommends for pushing regime change for governments he doesn't like.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

You honestly believe that Trump said that and the Chinese didn't use it to their advantage???????
BWAHAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA
Screw it. The other 8 things are just as silly, but if you guys can't figure this out on your own I'm not spending an hour trying to explain this to you.
That's not completely out of character for Trump. His response to the Tienanmen square massacre (from a 90's interview):
Trump said he'd been "very unimpressed" with the Soviet Union.
"Their system is a disaster," Trump said. "What you will see there soon is a revolution; the signs are all there with the demonstrations and picketing. Russia is out of control and the leadership knows it. That's my problem with [former Soviet President Mikhail] Gorbachev. Not a firm enough hand."
The future US president was then asked if he meant "firm hand as in China."
"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength," Trump replied. "That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak...as being spit on by the rest of the world."
I'm not saying one proves the other. It's just - he's a fan of putting down dangerous ideas with force.

John Bolton, the arch reactionary, takes on Donald Trump, the arch populist demagogue.
Makes for great TV.

Yeah, the battle kind of doesn't matter much. Two losers, who cares? It's like being in an arena and watching two 3-legged dogs fighting. You just want them to stop so you can go get a Dixie Cup. Not to mention that most of the crowd appears to have already made their minds up, anyway.

We're torn between the notion that the book is a real and present danger to national security, giving away state secrets, and that it's a pack of lies. I'm not totally convinced that it can be both.

Sure it can. Tell a national secret, and then lie about Trumps response to it.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The book appears to be a dud on every level, including a nothing burger on Ukraine. Remember when Bolton would have been the final nail in Trump’s impeachment coffin?
Well you get to see the end of that movie now. Keep in mind none of the highlighted previews talk about Ukraine. Huh, how did the media skate by that one. Oh well.

I will be impressed with anyone who can survive 500+ pages of this. Seriously.

Actually...Didn't her trial start?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.
