Whoa!

If factual, he's in the deep end and sinking.



Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton transmitted classified emails over a private server system and they were intercepted by a hostile foreign country’s spy service, according to a leak to The New York Times.

As reported last week, John Bolton is reportedly under investigation for violating the Espionage Act, according to The New York Times.

“The investigation into whether John Bolton, President Trump’s former national security adviser, mishandled classified information is trying to determine if he violated certain sections of the Espionage Act, which makes it a crime to illegally retain or transmit national defense information, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of the case,” The New York Times reported.


The FBI raided the home of Trump’s former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, last Friday morning.

FBI agents were sent to Bolton’s home because he allegedly sent “highly sensitive” classified materials to family members from a private, unsecured email server while he was working at the White House during the first Trump Administration.

“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,” The New York Post reported last week.

The investigation into John Bolton began in 2020 when he used classified information to write his book titled, “The Room Where It Happened.”


The Biden Administration halted the investigation into Bolton, but FBI Director Kash Patel revived it and ordered the raid on the former NatSec Advisor’s home.

John Bolton has not been arrested or charged with any crimes (yet).

The New York Times on Wednesday reported that the US Government actually discovered John Bolton’s classified emails while gathering information from an “adversarial country’s spy service.”

The New York Times reported:


The investigation into President Trump’s former national security advisor, John R. Bolton, began to pick up momentum during the Biden administration, when U.S. intelligence officials collected information that appeared to show that he had mishandled classified information, according to people familiar with the inquiry.

The United States gathered data from an adversarial country’s spy service, including emails with sensitive information that Mr. Bolton, while still working in the first Trump administration, appeared to have sent to people close to him on an unclassified system, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive case that remains open.

The investigation of Mr. Bolton, who has become an ardent critic of the president, burst back into public view last week when federal agents searched his Maryland home and Washington office.

While those searches have raised fresh questions about the extent to which Mr. Trump may be using the Justice Department and F.B.I. to try to punish those he dislikes, the new details of the case present a more complex chain of events. The disclosures suggest that a long-running investigation into Mr. Bolton’s activities changed over time, with some of the issues echoing past inquiries into the handling of national security secrets.

The emails in question, according to the people, were sent by Mr. Bolton and included information that appeared to derive from classified documents he had seen while he was national security adviser Mr. Bolton apparently sent the messages to people close to him who were helping him gather material that he would ultimately use his 2020 memoir, “The Room Where It Happened.”

Odd. If the Slimes got this one right, then conservatives will be happy and liberals will be flummoxed since that is pretty solid proof that President Trump is NOT simply “waging lawfare “on his “enemies,” some libs have argued.

But even if the Slimes got this one wrong, then conservatives will be happy and liberals will be flummoxed since such alleged behavior is criminal; and, yet, it is being prosecutorially investigated (and, perhaps, charged) by the Trump Administration, which, the libs contend, Trump has no interest in: Justice.
 
If true Bolton is screwed. Nobody likes that asshole.

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.

“While Bolton was a national security adviser, he was literally stealing classified information, utilizing his family as a cutout,” this person charged.

The probe was initially opened in 2020, and continued into the Biden administration, which froze the investigation.

For example, former President Joe Biden said he was not given a heads-up about an August 2022 FBI raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate to recover national security papers sought by the National Archives.




The president who had stockpiled classified documents is now trying to go after people who his administration claims had classified documents.

Trump possessed them privately, Bolton was illegally sending them to people with no classification level at all. Now there's reports his home computers were penetrated by foreign governments.

Besides that, Trumps classified documents were returned in March or May, IMZafiraCherry.
 
This is laughable.

Did Trump transmit classified documents off a personal computer on a non secured server? Were those documents sent to family members and then intercepted by the Chinese?

Naw....didn't think so. :(

The President can declassify any document as he wants, at any time, no one else can do that.

Trump is returned classified documents from the dismissed federal case against him​


Classified documents — the final remnants of former special counsel Jack Smith's since-dismissed federal case against President Trump — have been turned over to the president, he said.


 
Whoa! If factual, he's in the deep end and sinking.

And the shithead was still shooting his mouth off against Trump just the other day. He is practically making the prosecution's case. What is the punishment for treason? Does this country have the balls to shoot a traitor dead at sunrise?

I'm just thrilled that they are stringing Bolton up by his balls, but what I really want to see is the FBI, SWAT and media kicking the Clinton's front door in at 6AM under bright lights.

I'm betting there is zero danger of catching Bill & Hillary together in bed.
 
WTF?

Bolton has a letter from the Trump regime.

FBI searches former national security adviser John Bolton's ...

5 days ago — Bolton maintained that he had fulfilled his legal obligations and obtained a letter from a National Security Council official in September 2020 .


In a post on X early Friday, Patel wrote, "NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission."

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also appeared to refer to the search in posts on X.

"America’s safety isn’t negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always," Bondi wrote early Friday. “Public corruption will not be tolerated,” Bongino wrote.

LOL.


All the sudden this comes up 5 years later?

I think I know why, another distraction for his gullible cult.
