🚨 The hypocrisy is off the charts.
The SAME Never Trumpers who cheered when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago are now SHRIEKING about “authoritarianism” because agents searched the vile John Bolton’s house and office.
Let’s take a look at their meltdown 👇🧵
2/ Olivia Troye in 2022:
👉 Praised the FBI for raiding Trump.
Olivia Troye in 2025:
👉 “This is authoritarianism!” because John Bolton got searched.
So it’s not “authoritarian” if it’s Trump’s house. Only if it’s their buddy’s.
3/ Chuck Todd lectured Republicans to “trust the FBI” and stay “calm” after the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Now? He’s raging that the Bureau is “Trump’s revenge squad.”
The only difference? The target isn’t Trump this time.
4/ Rolling Stone’s Asawin Suebsaeng mocked Trump for calling the Mar-a-Lago raid “political persecution.”
Today? He writes: “You don’t have to like Bolton to see this for what it is.”
Translation: Raids are great… against the Swamp's opponents.
5/ Jonah Goldberg:
✅ Defended the Trump raid as “entirely justified.”
❌ Calls the Bolton raid proof of “weaponizing the justice system.”
And yet both cases are about classified documents. So which is it, Jonah?
6/ Adam Kinzinger: “The Bolton raid should chill you.”
Bill Kristol: “How do you spell I-N-T-I-M-I-D-A-T-I-O-N?”
Miles Taylor: “Trump’s revenge machine!”
But they all thought raiding the home of a former President was just GREAT.
Just wait till the FBI raids Biden...
7/ Let’s be clear:
If you think it’s “justice” when the FBI raids Mar-a-Lago, but “authoritarianism” when it raids John Bolton…
You don’t care about the rule of law. You care about going after your enemies.
And don't even PRETEND you care about classified documents!
8/ Maybe the biggest irony?
Most of the people I just named considered Bolton a war criminal in the Bush years. You know, before he started attacking Trump.
The law is irrelevant to these people. Only their power matters.
9/ The truth:
The Mar-a-Lago raid was unprecedented lawfare. And Trump had full legal power to declassify whatever documents he had.
Bolton had no such powers. But he had the classified documents.
And the NeverTrumpers? They’ve indicted themselves with their own hypocrisy.
10/ But don't worry. Bolton is just the beginning.
And watch them howl and screech while the conspirators get hauled away.
Turns out no one is above the law after all.
