John Bolton pleads guilty to mishandling classified information
Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty on Friday to keeping security information from his work in his personal records—an act less egregious than what Donald Trump and Joe Biden previously got away with unscathed.
Dark Cloud6i get it, there is a character limit on posts, but did you **REALLY** mean to imply that there is some equivalence between Biden keeping (and returning) some docs, and what Trump did?!!?!? ‘cuz that’s what you did
Dré Day4Was John Bolton the guy who told his story through a book deal instead of a deposition?
8647Russ3What double standard? The threshold for an appointee is much lower than for a president. And yes, I’m absolutely drawing the line in the vast gulf between Biden (investigated, cleared; admonished?) and President Stupid (immunized by a corrupt Court).
Just Jo (Captain of the USS StaticDust)2I could not give less of a fuck what happens to this man, tbh. He's one of the reasons COVID got out of control and is still killing people around the world today.

IdiocracyIsTrue1Not a fan of Mr Bolton, but this is not equal justice, only uninhibited punitive vengeance.
Ex-national security advisor John Bolton appeared in court today to plead guilty to one count of mishandling national defense info. The plea deal - which the judge isn't bound to accept - includes $2.25M fine and up to 5 years in prison (Bolton could argue for none) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Zoe Tillman32Bolton's deal includes notable elements: - up to 100 hours of what govt described as "community service" to help feds address disclosures of classified info (judge noted not typical) - forfeits govt pension - debriefs DOJ/US intel about what he did www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Adam Bonin4It's hard to think of a "political" criminal defendant during Trump II who has absolutely no one rooting for them or trying to defend their conduct ... except Bolton.

Unfriendly Goose2Trump steals boxes of classified documents and sells them to foreigners - no consequences. Bolton takes a few pages home - instant fine and potential jail time.
