The FBI raided the D.C.-area home of former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton on Friday.
According to the New York Post’s Caitlin Doornbos, who initially broke the story, “Federal agents went to Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., at 7 a.m. in an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, a Trump administration official told The Post.” Per Fox News, agency officials were later spotted at Bolton’s Washington, D.C. office “removing boxes and Bolton was seen in the lobby.”
Patel seemingly confirmed the raid in an early Friday morning post. At roughly the same time the raid reportedly took place, the FBI director wrote on X, “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission.”
In a Friday morning post quoting Patel’s statement, FBI Co-Deputy Director Dan Bongino also wrote, “Public corruption will not be tolerated.”
Sources who reportedly spoke with the Post and other outlets maintain that the searches are related to Bolton’s alleged possession of classified documents. A “senior US official” told Doornbos the raid is specifically related to a probe “first launched years ago, but the Biden administration shut … down ‘for political reasons.'”
“The related investigation began in 2020, according to the official — the same year Trump’s first Justice Department launched a criminal inquiry into Bolton’s alleged disclosure of national secrets in his book, ‘The Room Where It Happened,'” Doornbos wrote. “That investigation came after President Trump fought to quash its publication over its inclusion of national secrets — saying Bolton broke an NDA signed as a condition of his employment.”
Bolton has reportedly not been arrested or charged with any crimes as of this article’s publication.

Heh.
Because “Bondi does nothing”. /s
Things are heating up...
I wonder how many classified documents Barry has at his DC residence a few block from the White House?
The precedent to raid former President’s residences has already been set.
LOL

FLASHBACK: John Bolton praises the FBI for raiding Mar-A-Lago

I guess The Walrus should have been a more "vocal critic" of the fedgoons who raided Mar-A-Lago and Roger Stone's house...
Speculation here - I wonder ilf the classified document files is a cover for investigation into conspiracy participation.
I’m guessing that Mrs. Bolton’s underwear is safe.
You have to list specific items you are looking for in a warrant. You can't use a warrant as a fishing expedition.
“””You have to list specific items you are looking for in a warrant. You can’t use a warrant as a fishing expedition. “””””””””.........unless you are investigating a Republican.
has made my day!
Any news about bolton?
“You have to list specific items you are looking for in a warrant. You can’t use a warrant as a fishing expedition. “
Was Melania’s underwear on the warrant for Mar A Lago?
Haven’t seen anything.
Haven’t seen anything about “Alligator Alcatraz” or “security guarantees”, either.
You?
“I’m guessing that Mrs. Bolton’s underwear is safe.”
and probably no fake “CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS” sheets printed out and scattered about documents dumped from the boxes that were removed, either ...
Pretty quiet today...... Gonna turn it up tonight at the Red Dog saloon in Virginia City 7-11 though. 😊👍🎸🎤🔊. Have a good weekend.
So, if no one is above the law, when is Hillary’s perp walk?
Ann Coulture sounded the alarms of this Bush Stooge years ago.Trump didn’t know DC and trusted fools that kissed his butt like Paul Ryan.
Maybe Barry shipped all those docs to Soros’ offices.
I wonder if any FBI/DOJ holdover tipped him off beforehand.
