Gee. I wish I could care about this.
No, wait. That is right, I don't ****ing care.

Well, according to democrats these people shouldn't have classified documents in their possession. They charged Trump. They would have charged Biden but for the fact that Biden would have been presented as a "nice elderly gentlemen with memory issues" to the jury and they claim the jury wouldn't have found him guilty as such so they didn't charge him for that reason. So, as long as Bolton isn't a "nice elderly gentlemen with memory issues", he should be charged, shouldn't he? No one should be above the law.

Following the rules.
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

Did you bother to read the link?

Currently, the prosecutors think they could bring a stronger case by the end of the year against Bolton over the mishandling of national security documents, rather than pushing for a charge at this time.

One concern of bringing a case too early, however, is that it could damage the department’s ability to firm up otherwise strong charges, the sources said.
An attorney from the deputy attorney general’s office has been pressing the Maryland US attorney’s office this week to charge Bolton on or before Friday, according to the sources.


Haste makes waste.

They didn't charge Trump for having classified documents in his possession. They charged him for lying about it, refusing to return them, and refusing to cooperate with the investigators seeking to lawfully retrieve them after he left office.

Are you incapable of understanding the difference between an unintentional accident versus a conscious and deliberate act? Trump knew that he took those documents, he knew that he had them, he knew they were classified, and he lied to Federal investigators for over a year before they finally raided MAL and got them back.

Who else did anything remotely close to that? Not Biden. Not Clinton. Not Pence. Not Bolton You have nobody to compare to what Trump did. So stop with the dishonest "both sides" whataboutism. It's complete bullshit that only low-info fools believe.

I hope all these MAGAs realize that so far, the potential charges are limited to his own party. Comey, lifelong republican. Bolton, lifelong republican.

So much for retribution on the 'Deep State' Radical Liberal lunatics. Republicans are all they find who committed crimes. How ignorant.

Took right right out of Saul Alinsky's playbook didn't ya.
  1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
  2. "Never go outside the experience of your people."
  3. "Whenever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy."
  4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
  5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
  6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
  7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
  8. "Keep the pressure on."
  9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
  10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
  11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
  12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
  13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

Saying mean things about Trump.
Why not? In Russia, if you disparage Putin, you're locked up or just disappear.
And Trump has always had wood for Russia and Putin.

Actually when Biden's aides found those documents he immediately picked up the phone and called to have them returned. That's what a responsible person who made an honest mistake does.

They might have charged Biden and Pence for keeping documents if they had held on to them for over a year and ignored subpoenas to return them as Trump did.

We know you are excited that Trump is pushing to prosecute anyone who opposed him.
Comey, Bolton, Schiff, James, Obama, Biden, Clinton, Smith, and even Soros
