🚨 BREAKING: John Bolton’s legal troubles may be MUCH deeper than expected.
The FBI raid on his home & office wasn’t just about his book — insiders say the probe is “far more expansive.”
Bolton could now be staring down multiple criminal charges.
Thread 🧵👇
2/ Don’t forget: Bolton’s 2020 book was packed with material that clearly should’ve been classified.
Judge Royce Lamberth warned that Bolton “gambled with the national security of the United States.”
Walking off with classified docs — and publishing them — isn’t a slip-up. It’s a felony.
3/ After Bolton turned on Trump, the Biden DOJ quietly dropped the case. No charges.
But now it’s back — and bigger:
🔹 FBI raided his home & office
🔹 Warrants said to rely on CIA intel gathered overseas
🔹 Potential Espionage Act violations in play
4/ Bolton’s legal nightmare looks like this:
• Drafts of his book still loaded with “voluminous” classified material
• Circulated to his agent, publisher & lawyer — possible unlawful dissemination
• If confirmed, that’s massive Espionage Act exposure
Not a slap on the wrist. We’re talking years behind bars.
5/ Bolton’s allies are in full panic mode.
NBC’s Chuck Todd, Olivia Troye, and Rolling Stone — who cheered the Mar-a-Lago raid — now wail about “authoritarianism.”
When Trump was the target, their line was: “No one is above the law.”
But when it’s Bolton? Suddenly it’s “fascism.”
6/ Meanwhile, DOJ grand juries are probing:
• NY AG Letitia James
• Rep. Adam Schiff
• Obama officials who tried to overthrow Trump after 2016
The swamp is finally beginning to face EQUAL justice.
7/ Attorney Jason Kander admits: even if Bolton isn’t convicted, the legal process itself is devastating:
“Half a million in legal fees… financial ruin.”
That’s what Democrats gleefully did not just to Trump, but thousands of others.
Now? They say it’s "fascism". LOL
8/ Bolton cashed in on his access. He leaked. He lied.
Now the FBI says his problems go far beyond his book.
Accountability is here.
And the NeverTrump crowd is choking on their own hypocrisy.
