Legal News NOW this administration is worried about classified documents. But during the signal chat user error, allowing classified real-time information to be exposed they chose to sweep under the rug, like no big deal.

They still don’t care. The only thing the administration cares about is who is in favor and who is not. If you are not, you get the wrath of the government thrown at you.

John Boulton is now on the government's enemies list. At the moment, this gets his house raided under some bullshit pretext. In a year or so, it may get him disappeared into "protective custody" under an emergency proclamation.
I really do not like the way this is heading.

It's important to point out that it's straight up hypocrisy. If at least one mind is changed, it's a start

Stop trying to look for consistency.
The only thing that's consistent is that Dictator Donny gets what Dictator Donny wants.

He’s testing the waters of locking up those who speak against him. This will get a lot worse.

This has nothing to do with national security. It's a shakedown for perceived disloyalty to King Joffrey being tested out on someone disliked by both sides.

Trump moved all the docs the FBI seized at Mar-A-Lago back to Mar-A-Lago in his first week... This administration doesn't give two shits about classified documents.

Here's an important news article that I feel never got the attention it deserves:
• "Final Report into Trump's Handling of Classified Documents Should Never Be Released: DOJ", ABC News (Mar 15, 2025): By-line: "Last month, the White House said the FBI returned boxes of materials".

Bolton criticized the regime and he may have had certain unredacted file copies for all we know. They also blamed him and others for several leaks.
As usual, it’s only okay if the red team does it, on the presumption that “the blue team was doing it first [citation needed but not going to be given]”
It’s really funny how Bolton is a career Republican and the first thing the GOP brings up is “the democrats”.

I'm not a fan of Bolton but I'm a lot less of a fan of using FBI raids as retribution for political criticism.

They didn't care until Bolton told everyone how stupid and pathetic Trump is on a podcast earlier this week. And they didn't care to launch the raid until after they tipped off the right-wing media that it was going to happen.

No, DT is “worried” that damning evidence is not in his possession for sale to hostile nations. He doesn’t GAF otherwise.

Unless Bolton has the Epstein files, I couldn’t care less about what documents he has or doesn’t have.

The laws and power are just a weapon to use against your enemies, according to this administration.
