His home (MD) & office (DC) were both “raided” by the FBI (office still is in process).

Who knows what this is all about? 

What do we know about this gentleman?

Has he EVER discussed, dreamed of or commented on a war he didn’t want us to jump into or, worse yet…want us to start? 

Thoughts?

Hard to comment considering so few details but there certainly are concerning things happening these days, inside and outside of the US.

Unfortunately this is the age that we’re in. We’re being asked whether we will defend someone without even knowing what they are accused of. Because, well, hurray for ‘our’ team!

It doesn’t matter what the alleged offense is, only whether you like the person (or more accurately whether you’ve been told to like the person by your leader….).

Turn about is fair play. 
I hope they are going through his wife’s or boyfriend’s underwear drawer. Not sure which he has.

Did he beat any stealing classified information and bringing it to his home?  Asking for a friend.

I’ve seen him as a War Hawk/War Monger for years…but, that’s just one side of him. 

He’s been our ambassador to the U.N. and an AAG & he even served at State in more than a few very important roles and with distinction…all of which he seemed to kick ass at and he got shit done.

Everyone that comments on him…that actually appears to know his professional history…usually comments that he’s a helluva lawyer.

All the while…history shows he’s a Beltway Big Government Member.

If I recall correctly, he was one of the guys that had good ideas way back when to have possibly prevented things like 9/11…and there have been plenty of jobs he’s held that make it clear…

He’s not an idiot; but, he’s as hawkish as it gets. He ruffles feathers. He’s got strong opinions.

So…now we’re goin’ all Mar-a-Lago on his ass and it’s NOT A GOOD LOOK.

I’m guessing he’s supposedly got some classified docs that he’s not/wasn’t suppose to have “post service” and/or might not have been authorized to take home…whatever.

So, it’s like this…

Pulling this shit on a guy that’s all too often spouting off as an Anti-Trumper is not a good look…it’s bad optics. It looks wrong, to me. It’s exactly what I’m pissed about the previous administration doing all the damn time.

But, I digress.

Thoughts?

Finding it a bit hard to have any sympathy for the guy.

One of the bigger rats in the swamp, IMO. Roger Stone probably feels the same way. 

But... there's a bit of political vindictiveness going on lately that I'm not crazy about.

I think he went and ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel.

Now this happens.

Coincidence, I think not....

FBI interviewer: Any regrets, John?

Bolton: I’ve had a few.

The book is what got him in hot water. Trump 1.0 opened an FBI case against him, and it lanquished during potato head's term. Pretty ironic the first raid is on a repub.

I need to play catch up on this one.

If you have 20min this is a pretty informative video. News feels more exhausting than ever lately, and major stories come out daily that seem like they are the next major shakeup. It's hard to sift through everything and make sense of the bigger picture.

It's hard to remove emotion, and analyze information critically...this is more true now than ever it seems. It's ultimately all about fear and control. 

We all need to be smart enough to keep the machine running, but not too smart that we question why we're keeping the machine running in current form.

Bolton didn’t learn that if you have an old Corvette in your garage, then it’s okay to have some classified documents at home.

Not defending  - but what did he do, aside from being critical of DT?

We don’t know yet. Selling /trading intelligence looks to be the accusation. This will be interesting.

Looks like he was making big bucks selling intelligence overseas.
