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.
🚨 OOPS: John Bolton might finally be in even BIGGER legal trouble.
The FBI raid on his home & office isn’t just about his book. Sources say the investigation is “far more expansive” — and Bolton could face multiple criminal charges.
Thread 🧵👇
2/ Remember: Bolton’s 2020 book was stuffed with what HAD to be classified info.
Judge Royce Lamberth said Bolton “gambled with the national security of the United States.”
You don't just get to walk off with classified information, much less publish it. It's a felony.
3/ After Bolton started attacking Trump, the Biden DOJ dropped the case. No charges. Of course.
But now the case is reopened.
🔹 FBI raids his home & office
🔹 Warrants reportedly based on CIA evidence gathered overseas
🔹 Espionage Act violations on the table
🚨BREAKING: Trump just FIRED Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage fraud allegations.
Cook says she’ll sue. Trump says: “I’m always ready for a legal fight.”
This is a cage match. Get out your popcorn. 🍿
Thread 🧵👇
2/ Lisa Cook was appointed by Biden in 2022. She was the first Black woman to serve on the Fed Board.
Her term was supposed to last until 2038.
But Trump just ended it early — citing accusations of falsifying bank documents to get better mortgage deals.
3/ The allegations came straight from the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency
👉 He says Cook claimed two primary residences in 2021 (Ann Arbor & Atlanta) to secure more favorable mortgage terms.
👉 He sent a criminal referral to DOJ on Aug. 15.
@elonmusk’s xAI and @X just filed suit against Apple and OpenAI—alleging they’ve colluded to snuff out competition in AI.
This isn't just an online spat. This may be a giant antitrust case that could reshape the industry.
Thread ↓🧵
@elonmusk @X 2/ The lawsuit accuses Apple & OpenAI of locking down AI on iPhones by integrating ChatGPT directly into iOS and Siri—shutting out challengers like xAI’s Grok.
Musk: “They’ve locked up markets and blocked innovators like us.”
