John Bolton: Trump indictment ‘devastating’
The Hill ^ | 06/12/2023 | LAUREN SFORZA

Posted on 06/12/2023 8:28:50 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former national security adviser John Bolton said the federal charges brought against former President Trump last week are “devastating,” adding that the indictment should result in the end of his Trump’s political career.

“This is a devastating indictment,” Bolton, who served under Trump, said Monday on CNN. “I speak here as an alumnus of the Justice Department myself, because not only is it powerful, it’s very narrowly tailored. They didn’t throw everything up against the wall to see what would stick that this really is a rifle shot. And I think it’s, it should be the end of Donald Trump’s political career.”

The Justice Department last week unveiled an indictment brought against the former president. It includes 37 counts of federal charges in connection with his handling of classified documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.

John Bolton is the penultimate Deep Stater. I have grown to detest him.

It amazes me how many formerly respected individuals Trump has exposed as Deep State stooges.

Without question, it is the greatest accomplishment of his Presidency.

"If the documents did not belong to President Donald J. Trump, then why did the government dump them in the parking lot of the White House and tell him to deal with them?"

Answer that, Walrus Man.

Bolton is still mad because Trump would not let him start any new wars.

Anyway, the article says Bolton was talking to CNN. I assume he was doing that from a foxhole, right on the front lines in Ukraine. Given that Bolton loves war so much, that’s where he’d want to be, right?

John Bolton has a problem with article 2, section 1 of the U.S. Constitution: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

As do all deep state pieces of chit.

Bolton would claim his mother was a space alien to get attention.

These guys who are personally desperate to keep Trump out of government chime in like a mob. Like they have power over the judiciary as much as they do the media

These spoutings are testimony to the dearth of understanding of the US Constitution, by these self proclaimed experts on internal and external affairs of State.

It merely underscores their lack, or their shiftiness, probably both.

There is a diversity of opinion about the indictment. I trust Francis Menton’s opinion (it’s a weak indictment) because it is based on the actual statutes.
