Bolton previously urged that Edward Snowden be executed, and Julian Assange be imprisoned for life, for informing the public. pic.twitter.com/g6T5kYArwV
What did he mishandle, how did he mishandle?
Probably orders of magnitude different than the other two examples compared to.
But still, a worthwhile example.
If only Trump paid the consequences for his blatant mishandling of classified information!!
If you compare Bolton to Trump, how each mishandled, I'm gonna guess Trump is also WAY worse!
No doubt the prosecution of Bolton is yet another example of Trump using the justice department to go after anyone who criticizes him.
I cannot wait for Trump to DIE (of natural causes)! I hate him so much!Oct 2025. Jamie Raskin rants to CNN that the only reason Bolton is being prosecuted is because he criticized and insulted Trump.

Jamie Raskin is correct. Bolton was only prosecuted by Trump because the former Trump Admin official became a Trump critic. Trump doesn't prosecute his co-conspirators. He pardons them.
‼️ “Ordinarily, I don’t like celebrating people’s IMPRISONMENT. I don’t feel happy about it. BUT, in this case, I have to say I do…”@ggreenwald connects the dots — Bolton once demanded DEATH for anyone who leaked classified documents. Turns out, history has a long memory: pic.twitter.com/nN7pYFpBU8
