Bolton indicted

Another revenge indictment:
John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-adversary, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Maryland.
He now faces 18 charges: eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.
Prosecutors wrote in the indictment that during the time he was national security adviser to Trump, Bolton shared “more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities” with two unauthorized individuals. Both of those people were related to Bolton and didn’t have the authority to access classified information, prosecutors said.
Print-outs of “diary” entries were also found in Bolton’s home, according to the indictment.
Bolton is expected to surrender himself, as soon as Friday, to authorities at federal court in Greenbelt. His case was assigned to Judge Theodore D. Chuang, who was appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama in 2014.
“The FBI’s investigation revealed that John Bolton allegedly transmitted top secret information using personal online accounts and retained said documents in his house in direct violation of federal law,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement. “The case was based on meticulous work from dedicated career professionals at the FBI who followed the facts without fear or favor. Weaponization of justice will not be tolerated, and this FBI will stop at nothing to bring to justice anyone who threatens our national security.”
Bolton, who has been under investigation for alleged unlawful handling of classified information, becomes the third high-profile Trump political enemy to be indicted in less than a month.
On its face, this indictment is not as frivolous as the Comey or James indictments. But as to whether it would have happened outside of Trump’s political revenge tour, google “Aileen Cannon.”
