Prominent US war hawk John Bolton has pled guilty to violating the Espionage Act after previously demanding execution for whistleblowers Edward Snowden & Chelsea Manning and 176 years in prison for publisher Julian Assange.

As part of a plea agreement, Bolton admitted to unlawfully retaining sensitive national security information. He now faces up to 5 years in prison, up to 3 years of supervised release, a $2.25 million fine, forfeiture of his pension, and is due to be sentenced on 28 October.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I know this isn't 'breaking news' but I had totally forgotten about his demands for execution when others violated national security. Rules for thee...

We didn't get a perpwalk, a mugshot or any other form of justice from the MORAL QUISLING Trump. Now this.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by Mr. "lock her up, lock her up,"...."i don't want their support anymore".

We were promised justice and given a gold plated carnival instead.

There’s something odd about this. There’s no way he would plead guilty unless he knew for sure that there would be no jail time. If jail was a consideration, he’d take a chance on a jury. Perhaps, if the trial was not going his way, he could hope for a plea bargain, but to totally plead guilty before anything starts seems awful odd to me.

Aside from War Monger I do not know what John Bolton is with the exception of the fact I know he is a very bad man and perhaps a bit crazy.

Remember Reality Winner? She got 5 years in a club FED medical facility. I am guessing her leaking was far less than what Bolton did.
