I wonder if Bolton's still using the Netscape browser while trying to download songs from Napster.
I like waving goodbye but regret having to retire my favorite graphic for him:
(and then he swirled down the drain)

The plea was made in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland, before U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang.
Bolton, 77, had faced an 18-count indictment that had accused him of both transmitting and retaining highly sensitive, classified materials during and after his time in the Trump administration.
Bolton served as national security advisor from April 2018 until September 2019.
Prosecutors alleged that while in that role, he created extensive “diary-like entries” and notes detailing his daily activities, meetings with foreign leaders, intelligence briefings, and sensitive policy discussions. He then transmitted more than 1,000 pages of this material, some classified up to the Top Secret/SCI level, via his personal AOL email account and messaging applications to two unauthorized individuals.
The indictment added that Bolton unlawfully retained classified national defense information at his home in Bethesda, Maryland, and his Washington, D.C., office.
These documents reportedly included intelligence on foreign adversaries, sources and methods, and other sensitive matters related to weapons of mass destruction and U.S. strategy.
The case gained significant momentum after Bolton’s personal AOL email account was hacked in July 2021 by actors linked to Iran. The breach exposed the diary-style notes he had sent to family members.
Federal investigators later determined that the compromised emails contained classified national defense information.
In August, FBI agents executed search warrants at Bolton’s Bethesda home and his D.C. office.
Agents seized classified documents, electronic devices, folders labeled “Trump I–IV,” and a binder titled “Statements and Reflections to Allied Strikes.”
Bye John. At least he’ll get free healthcare, food, and lodging.
Bolton might get six months maximum, the rest suspended.
Dang! Guess that didn’t work out the way he thought it would. Bastard.
Ha! Mrs. Bill Clinton let the Russians (and anybody else who wanted them) have THOUSANDS of Secret and Top-Secret documents via a private UNSECURE server, and she's still waddling around free somewhere.
AND another Never Trumper demanding Trump go to prison goes to prison!
HA! Double HA!
“Sounds like treason”
Sounds like a slap on the wrist plea deal and a contract for 100,000 copies of his book.
And Hillary Dianne Rodham Clinton drunkenly staggers around, free as a bird ...

Flushing these rats seems....
an exhausting endeavor
BUT a New Day is Coming !
.
Never Give Up
He’ll get 5 to 7 and do 5.
Will his mustache require a separate cell?
I wanna see this guy get at least five years in the big house.
He earned it.
Bolton’s issue is no one likes him.
Makes it more likely to toss the book at him.
Unless or until Joe Biden is prosecuted for his stealing, mishandling and selling the information (treason) from US government confidential files, no one else accused of the same should be prosecuted, to include John Bolton. Equal justice for all or no justice at all.
He’s going to get a fine paid by his friends and probation.
There is likely a plea deal that spares or limits Bolton’s exposure to prison time. The usual reason for a defendant pleading guilty in a plea deal is that the government has a strong case and will likely win a conviction and secure a substantial prison sentence if the case goes to trial.
POS will never serve a day....
We’ll probably never know all the inside baseball on this.
Too bad bolton isn’t a Republican in good standing.....Hollywood would be all over it.
But since he obviously has TDS.....crickets.
Always a favorite. This was one of my software team’s favorite response to marketing delivery schedules.
