The John Bolton Indictment Is Different

Unlike the bogus Trump cases against James Comey and Letitia James, this one appears to have merit.

John Bolton, who served as National Security Advisor in the first Trump administration, has publicly criticized the President, calling him

“a danger for the republic,” “stunningly uninformed,” and “unfit for office.”

Trump has also attacked Bolton, branding him

“a sleazebag, actually,” “a very dumb person,”

and mocking his

“stupid white moustache.”

After the publication of Bolton’s 2020 tell-all book, Trump stated

“I believe that he’s a criminal, and I believe, frankly, he should go to jail for that.”

Now, an indictment has been returned against Bolton in federal district court in Maryland, which bears substantial hallmarks of legitimacy.

Author’s summary: Bolton faces a potentially legitimate indictment.
