A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted former Trump national security adviser John Bolton on charges of mishandling classified information — accusing him of sending sensitive national security documents through a personal AOL email account.

The indictment alleges that Bolton knowingly transmitted materials related to foreign policy matters while communicating with outside contacts after leaving the White House.

Bolton, 76, served as President Trump’s national security adviser from April 2018 until his firing in September 2019.

Bashes Trump for years.
Get indicted by Trump.
That’s gotta suck.

Maybe now he will roll over on others to save himself from prison.

The networks interrupted programming with this - the talking heads trying hard to spin out excuses for Bolton and defend him. That's very interesting.

Where is the Free Republic choir who spent 8+ months chanting, “Nothing will happen to any of them”?

And those who chanted nothing will happen to any of them are now heading for the tall grass.

Ok, let’s be fair…as was said here all during Trump’s indictments, “you can indict a ham sandwich, it means nothing”, etc, etc. We have two indictments. I know the wheels of Justice turn slowly, I’m a firm believer on that, but two indictments in how many months and years? So, let’s see how it plays out.

An indictment is still a long way from a conviction. I’m hopeful, but feeling about 5% that he spends any time in jail. I’d love to be wrong about him AND James.

The MSM will have to settle for blaming Trump for hiring such an awful person in the first place and putting him in a position where he could mishandle classified information.

For years the media despised Bolton. Now he is one of their hero’s all because he opposed Trump.
