(12,162 posts)John Bolton is not a sympathetic character. However, this is not merely an attack on Bolton; it's another assault on the rule of law and our democracy that when strong protects all citizens from this sort of legal harassment. Bolton's case involving his book has already been litigated. Trump lost. Now he's determined to put the fear of God into his perceived enemies and all critics. if the law gets twisted in the process? More the merrier.
The Mad King on another rampage.
Never forget, never forgive.

(7,458 posts)the repubes have no respect for the Bible. A handy prop, sure, but actually follow? No way. Instead of letting The Lord exact justice as specified in the Bible, they have appointed themselves as kind of Satanic Hate & Vengeance Goons. So anti-christian. So deeply troubling.

Going to guess this is the one of MANY high-profile Stasi raids to come - cause Epstein. A warm up while they strategize raidnig Obama, the Clintons, Oprah, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kamala Harris . . .

(169,542 posts)Its extraordinary to see the FBI target a prominent presidential critic, suspecting him of the same wrongdoing that led to a Trump criminal indictment.

The FBI raided former national security adviser John Boltons home in Bethesda, Maryland, on Friday as part of a national security investigation in search of classified records, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News. ... In a post on X early Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel wrote, NO ONE is above the law... @FBI agents on mission.
.....Whats more, before Boltons book was released in 2020, Team Trumps lawyers went to court in the hopes of derailing its publication. That effort failed and the book became a bestseller.
Three months later, Trumps Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into whether Bolton disclosed classified information when he published his memoir. A former career official with the National Security Council later said in a court filing that Team Trump opened the criminal investigation into Bolton based on false pretenses......
That said, at face value, its nothing short of extraordinary to see the FBI, led by a hyperpartisan Trump loyalist, search the home of a prominent presidential critic suspecting him of the same wrongdoing that led to one of Trumps criminal indictments.
