    Some of these comments. Damn. Do y’all not understand that Trump and Bolton have been at each other’s throat for quite some time?

    This isn’t face eating, this is a clear attack on a political enemy. That’s the takeaway, and you should be chilled to the bone.

      We have all known this forever. Muricans did nothing when children with cancer were deported, bo you really expect a reaction here?

      It may be important for people to learn that the Nazi party was originally a socialist coalition party until Hitler and his ilk expelled or murdered the people they didn’t agree with. This is identical.

        You know Bolton wrote The Room Where It Happened in 2020? He absolutely threw Trump under the bus. This would be face eating material if they were still allies of some sort. They fucking hate each other.

        I hate Bolton’s politics as much as the next guy, but he’s no dipshit. I so hoped he would bring sanity to the first Trump administration, and that’s why he got fired.

          I’m European so we’re doing our thing over here instead, not perfect but not yet that bad (except if you’re in the UK, God save the sanity over there).

          Good luck though!

    Wasn’t Bolton one of the ones who told us to stop overreacting, there were plenty of adults in the room? We said they wouldn’t be there forever and he ignored us.

    Where are the adults now, Bolton?

    What are the odds one of these former Trump advisors held on to a little bit of insurance for re-retaliation?

    God I hope someone thought that far ahead.

      Bad stuff comes out about Trump all the time, and it bounces right off. People already know he’s awful, and half the country likes it that way.

        Very true. Who knows if there even is anything that they wouldn’t just reject or wave away.

          If you’re keeping the blackmail material in your own home, then you’re the kind of fucking idiot who would deliberately lead us into a war in the Middle East on the premise that it would somehow increase American prestige and power abroad.

    The raids are part of a “national security investigation in search of classified records,” a person familiar with the matter told NBC.

    The probe is eyeing multiple instances of the use of classified documents in leaks to the news media. The investigation began during the Biden administration, but did not go further before President Joe Biden left office in January.
