Former national security adviser John Bolton had his home raided by federal agents last week. It caused a stir among those in the liberal media, who immediately ran with the narrative that this FBI visit was politically motivated. Bolton is one of President Trump’s most vocal critics.
The authoritarian hysterics from the liberal pundit class were deafening, along with some gaslighting about how Barack Obama and Joe Biden never gave an order to go after their enemies. Now, we’ve learned that the momentum to initiate the eventual raid at the Bolton home started under the Biden administration, which also hindered the investigation. They could’ve searched Bolton’s home under Biden, but didn’t. I wonder why (via NYT) [emphasis mine]:
The investigation into President Trump’s former national security adviser, John R. Bolton, began to pick up momentum during the Biden administration, when U.S. intelligence officials collected information that appeared to show that he had mishandled classified information, according to people familiar with the inquiry.
The United States gathered data from an adversarial country’s spy service, including emails with sensitive information that Mr. Bolton, while still working in the first Trump administration, appeared to have sent to people close to him on an unclassified system, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive case that remains open.
The investigation of Mr. Bolton, who has become an ardent critic of the president, burst back into public view last week when federal agents searched his Maryland home and Washington office.
We’re done here. The allegation is that Bolton transmitted sensitive materials to his wife's and daughter’s emails before he was fired by Trump in 2019. An independent magistrate in DC and Maryland approved the search warrants.
No one is above the law.

No, not an independent magistrate issued the warrant. TWO independent magistrates did.

Our world would be very different if even a small part of the Mainstream Media actually reported news honestly and fairly. But it’s 100% anti-Trump, so a good percentage of the US population is 100% anti-Trump. They just don’t know any better.
Sorry, I’m not buying the NYT spin that Biden DOJ was on to him. Trump handed them the ball, and the Biden DOJ slithered into court and dismissed the case without any explanation.
I am going to make a huuuuge mark in the history books. I am going to Court to legally change my name to: Anonymous Speaker-Source
I will further petition the Court that this name change be retroactive to the mid 1800s.
History books will say that I have been involved in every significant event for hundreds of years.

<< Susan Glasser, the wife of the NYT’s chief WH correspondent Peter Baker, wrote that the Bolton raid was “retribution” and “revenge vibes were strong” >>
Right, it had all the “earmarks” of retribution, just like Hunter’s laptop had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation.
Bolton and the MSM used to be enemies...he should remember that much.
Two! Oh my. This sounds serious. I wonder if Mr. Bolton has any stories he would like to tell?
The most likely scenario, as far as I’m concerned, is that the Biden administration had more than enough evidence to prosecute him, but dropped the case in exchange for him agreeing to become a TDS mouthpiece on CNN and MSNBC.
If I am remembering correctly Bolton was Public Enemy #3 after W. and Rumsfeld.
Probably after Biden got caught with classified information.
Obviously, there's an "if" implied in that statement....
Democracy Dies in Darkness.
Democracy dies with Democrats.
Eight years ago Democrats were calling him a war criminal. Now that he’s having trouble with the law Democrats love him.
At least it’s not all about you! (or at least not all about someone unknown)
Every day the DemonRat Party looks more and more ridiculous.
So does the Mockingbird Media.
Bolton sometimes is an outspoken critic of Trump, and sometimes an outspoken defender. Depends on the issue and the context, something that the liberal media wouldn’t recognize if it bit them in the a@@.
Remember the old days when the media said John Bolton was a “dangerous extremist”?
