This morning it’s John Bolton
Breaking News from The Bulwark:
Shortly before 7:00 am Friday morning, the FBI and Montgomery County police were seen at the Bethesda home of John Bolton, who served as national security advisor for part of Donald Trump’s first term. Montgomery County police sealed off the street on which Bolton lives while an unmarked black SUV parked in front of Bolton’s house.
Lawfare’s Ben Wittes was streaming live from the location as of the time I’m typing this.

Wittes believes this is an effort to beat a statute of limitations on whatever it is Trump’s FBI is doing there to exact retribution on Bolton. Upon retaking office, Donald Trump revoked his former national security advisers’s security clearance straight away. Trump had accused Bolton of revealing national security secrets in his book back in 2020.
The New York Post just reported, “Federal agents busted into John Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., at 7 a.m.” as part of “a high-profile national security probe.”
“NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission,” tweeted Kash Patel, Trump’s FBI director. No one that is except Lord Trump and his current courtiers.
The New York Times posted about 8:40 a.m. EDT:
The investigation into Mr. Bolton seeks to determine whether he illegally shared or possessed classified information, according to two people familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the thrust of the investigation. A lawyer for Bolton, who is now a frequent critic of the president, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
That’s rich. An FBI raid courtesy of Donald Trump, he of boxes of stolen secret documents stored in a golf resort ballroom and bathroom fame.
