After Bolton raid, the Washington Post clutches its pearls
American Thinker ^ | August 23, 2025 | Jack Hellner

Posted on 08/23/2025 11:56:54 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The following idiotic piece that ran from the Washington Post's editorial board said that the FBI raid on former National Security Council advisor John Bolton raid "underscores the danger of putting partisan hacks in top law enforcement positions."

Yes, they wrote that. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Of course, they acted as though Democrat hack appointees in comparable positions from not so long ago, such as Merrick Garland, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Andy McCabe, James Comey, and others, were absolutely independent and non-partisan no matter what they did.

Isn't that humorous?

They didn't have trouble with a multi-year investigation against President Trump involving fictional Russian collusion.

They didn't mind all the FBI lies to the FISA court to illegally spy on and destroy lives of people surrounding Trump.. They didn't mind that no one went to jail for perjury.

They didn't mind when the fictional Russian dossier paid for by Hillary and the DNC was used to justify the spying.

They didn't mind when IRS illegally targeted tea party members, destroyed documents, lied to Congress, and had a pretend Justice investigation where no one was charged.

They didn't mind when John Brennan and others lied to Congress and no one was charged.

They didn't mind when Obama dictatorially ordered the Justice Department to drop charges against drug-running terrorists to appease Iran. How many people died from drugs and terrorism because of this action. How can anyone pretend that the Justice Department was independent when no one resigned because of this dictatorial act by Obama?

They didn't mind going after parents and Catholics.

They didn't mind going after peaceful pro-life protesters while ignoring violent acts on crisis pregnancy centers and churches.

They didn't mind that...

Imagine telling some young Washington Post writer in 2005 that in 20 years, Bolton will still be the same nasty fellow, but that Washington Post will write such an article after Bolton’s home and office were subject to a search warrant over illegally held classified information.

The DemonRats opened this door. Also the “no ones above the law” door. The Walrus has nothing to worry about if he didn’t do anything. It ain’t like we’re democrats here…

In DC, all roads lead back to the Washington Post.

They have good reason to be worried.

His image in the press has somehow been transformed from “warmongering neo-con shitbag” to “poor oppressed political victim of the bad orangeman” at lightening speed

It’d be a real pity if certain journalists known to be conduits for the release of classified information had their own houses searched, wouldn’t it?

They are already preparing to impeach Obama and Biden to strip them of their Presidential immunity.

About darned time we started taking out the evil people!
Democrat politicians.
This all goes way back to the civil war.
Lincoln should have killed off ALL the Democrats.

“the FBI raid on ... John Bolton underscores the danger of putting partisan hacks in top law enforcement positions.”

indeed ... in fact, i remember WaPo using that exact same phrase [with John Bolton changed to Donald Trump] when the FBI raided Melania Trump’s underwear drawer looking for classified documents ...

The WP is really scared about this one.
Perhaps we will finally realize WHY we got involved in Ukraine.

If Woodward and Bernstein were alive today they wouldn’t sit silently by whilst their once great paper published such partisan garbage.

It’s not clutching its pearls.

It’s bleeping its shorts.

Goody.

Being anti-Trump has advantages but it also comes with a price that must be paid. Better have a clean house and no scandals that might be exposed or Trump will pull them out into the light of day. No one thought Trump could get back in power—let alone win the White House back. They discounted the MAGA Movement.

This should really scare the dems because if Trump will arrest one of “his own”, in their minds, as if Bolton was one of Trump’s team, there is nothing stopping him from going after them.
