Johnny's going to be spending some time in the pokey.

It's a shame, really. He used to be a decent guy prior to the onset of TDS. I used to like watching him on Red Eye.

I think Comey will go to trial and bet on a sympathetic jury. Looks like Bolton is going to have to take a plea deal.

“Ex-Trump national security adviser John Bolton surrendered to federal authorities Friday after being indicted on charges of allegedly mishandling classified information. 

Bolton left his home in Bethesda, Maryland on Friday morning escorted by a private security guard. The Trump critic entered the district courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland where he surrendered himself to authorities for his first court appearance. …”

Such a family man

Trump pulled the security clearance on a number of folks that had made their trade using inside info to be media pundits and consultants to businesses.
I'd bet there are a number of others that could be charged in a similar fashion if they created too much trouble.
Bolton has been on TV up until yesterday, still doing his thing.

Good now let’s get the rest of those 51 former somebodies who helped steal the 2020 election!!

In jail or bankrupt!

No CNN camera crew and heavily armed SWAT team at 5 am like they did Trump people?

Now do Hillary.

Maybe others who work with classified material will opine, but IME, you sign classified documents out of the storage device where the document is stored (e.g., safe, SCIF) and were responsible for returning and signing those documents back into storage.

That means that all those documents found in Bolton's house and email are legally missing.

His authority to retain the documents ended with his federal employment ending. At that point he has no legitimate further "need to know" even if he retained the necessary clearance. Absent NTK, he had no legal reason for keeping the documents.

I hope and pray Bolton gets it shoved in, broken off, and pulled out sideways.

I feel sorry for his wife, who appears very aged and stressed, no doubt due to living with this Swamp creature for so many years. I suspect that over the years he was very good at "using" people, including his own family members.

Allegedly he used an AOL account ? Wtf. My dad who’s been retired since before the internet was a thing doesn’t even use AOL.

Seeing that list puts a big smile on my face. Finally, things that need to be done are getting done!!

***** OLD THREAD ALERT *****

John Bolton reaches plea deal over mishandling of sensitive national security documents

By Katelyn Polantz, Kaitlan Collins, Hannah Rabinowitz


John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-adversary, is expected to plead guilty over mishandling classified documents, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

He intends to plead guilty to one felony count of illegal retention of sensitive national security documents, according to one of the sources. He has also agreed to pay a more than $2 million fine, according to one of the sources.

A conviction on one count of illegal retention comes with a sentence between 0 and 60 months in prison.

The Justice Department declined to comment and referred CNN to the court docket, which indicates a hearing was set for June 26.

The plea deal comes months after the top Trump foe was charged by prosecutors in Maryland for allegedly keeping diary entries from the first Trump White House in his home.

Prosecutors accused Bolton of sharing “more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities” through his personal email account with two unauthorized individuals, who CNN has reported are his wife and daughter. The alleged transmission of classified information isn’t part of the charges he expects to plead guilty to.

Bolton, who served for one year in the first Trump administration, was originally charged with eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.

Trump had long been long been calling for Bolton to be arrested over his 2020 memoir that was highly critical of the president, claiming Bolton should have gone to jail because classified information was contained in the book.

But unlike cases against Trump’s other perceived enemies, like FBI Director James Comey and the now-dismissed case against New York Attorney General Letitia James, Bolton’s case has maintained the support of career prosecutors and investigators, people briefed on the matter previously told CNN.

Trump’s first Justice Department opened criminal and civil investigations into the book in 2020, but it was closed within a year.

But the FBI opened a new inquiry into Bolton the next year, still during the Biden presidency, after his email was breached by suspected Iranian hackers, as investigators discovered “diary-like entries” containing top secret information from his time as national security advisor.

This story is developing and will be updated.

And now he's a convicted felon. No guns. No voting. And no security clearance. Well deserved.

Well, tough shit, loudmouth.

Let's be honest- ol' John wouldn't find himself in this predicament if he hadn't made a career of going on TV and telling bald-faced lies about President Trump.
