URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – John Bolton, the famously hawkish former National Security Advisor who spent years lecturing everyone else about national security, has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge for mishandling classified documents.
Bolton served as NSA under President Trump during the first administration before being dismissed in September 2019. He then wrote a tell-all book titled “The Room Where It Happened,” which is actually where this whole mess began, investigators first took interest in Bolton back in 2020 after determining he used classified information to write the memoir. Nothing says “responsible steward of national secrets” quite like turning them into a book deal.
The case goes considerably deeper than a single book, however. FBI agents raided Bolton’s home last summer after evidence emerged that he had been sending “highly sensitive” classified materials to his wife and daughter from a private, unsecured email server while working at the White House. The New York Post reported that “investigators reopened a dormant probe into Bolton’s alleged use of a private email to send classified national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work desk before his dismissal by Trump in September 2019, according to a senior US official.”
It gets worse. The New York Times previously reported that the U.S. government actually discovered Bolton’s classified emails while collecting intelligence from an adversarial country’s spy service. Read that again slowly. Foreign adversaries had access to John Bolton’s email activity. The man who built his entire career on being tough on America’s enemies apparently handed those same enemies a gift.
Documents previously released confirmed that Bolton stored classified information relating to weapons of mass destruction and the United Nations, not exactly the kind of material you casually forward from a personal account.
The Biden administration, in a move that surprised absolutely nobody paying attention, quietly shelved the investigation into Bolton. It took FBI Director Kash Patel, appointed under President Trump’s second administration, to revive the probe and order the raid on Bolton’s home. Bolton now faces up to 60 months in federal prison and fines reaching $2.25 million.
It is worth noting that Bolton was a fierce critic of President Trump and made no secret of his disdain after his dismissal. He campaigned publicly against Trump, gave endless media interviews, and positioned himself as some sort of moral authority on matters of governance and national security. The irony of that posture, given what we now know, is almost too rich to process.
Accountability has arrived for John Bolton, fashionably late, but here nonetheless.
