For some reason this quote from George Orwell's 1984 came to mind: "Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia."

Often in such cases where a crowd has gathered there will be pictures or videos of officers carrying things away--boxes of records, computers, etc. Has anything like that surfaced?

So God's compassion was not just free, in justice Jesus had to pay for it.

This is informative. However, the case remained open for four years. If Bolton were not implicated, it would be expected that the FBI would have closed the investigation during that period.

Well, if the DOJ didn't have a case to win in court, why keep it open?

Let's see the "new evidence" in the bright light of a US Federal Court Room. Bondi's DOJ has a very poor record to date.

Justice is giving the worker the wages to which he agreed.

We can't have an informed opinion about the episode until we know what, exactly, was in the warrant and what probable cause was affirmed.

As someone with over 30 years in the IT field, I am puzzled that any administration keeps paper copies of national security information. With today’s technology, classified data can be accessed digitally as needed and deleted remotely, making physical copies unnecessary. Current systems can even prevent printing or photographing such information. That's why reports of President Trump, President Biden, or VP Pence having classified documents at home never made sense to me.

It appears that the practices of the US government in managing sensitive documents lag significantly behind current standards, by approximately 15 years.

Per the NBC article, it sounds like this is the continuation of the investigation that had started back in the previous admin...


If there is any merit to the notion that perhaps Bolton was leaking things to the media, it was almost certainly for the purposes of trying to manipulate the public into being on-board for some war or another.

Bolton is one of the most notorious war hawks in our lifetime. He never met a war opportunity he didn't like.


Even if the intent behind continuing the investigation was retaliatory, I see the prospect of "Holding Bolton to account for anything wrong he's done or ways he's manipulated the public" as a net good no matter what kind of administration's doing it.

The prior investigation was dropped by the DOJ in 2022 (believe it went as far as invoking a Grand Jury). Why was it dropped? Typically, Federal prosecutors will drop a case when they don't think they can win in court. But that was the DOJ of 2022......

Say it aint so said:

A little clarity:

"During the first Trump administration, the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into Mr. Bolton after publication of his 2020 book, “The Room Where It Happened.”​

​

At first, the White House tried to block publication of the manuscript, arguing Mr. Bolton had not sought appropriate approvals. The court rejected the effort.​

​

Separately, a federal grand jury issued subpoenas as part of a criminal investigation. While there has been little noticeable activity on the case for years, it continued into the Biden administration and has become more active in the second Trump term." --NYT​

Bad faith argument.

If you don't understand how Trump broke the law read the court documents. It is not rhe obligation of posters here to inform you of such basic information.

1. He still did it.
2. He still broke the law

But listening to him speek you'd think he was exonerated.


But there's no inherent racism in the system. It's classist. Or maybe both but likely.

Rich white guys break the law all the time (in fact it was one of the arguments in defence of trump). Sooo often that the prosecution of Trump was characterized as targeted.

A black guy sells after market cigarettes and ends up getting killed by the police.

I have no doubt that there are cases in which government representatives have illegally or unjustly used law enforcement resources to punish personal or political opponents. The problematic part is trying to apply that to Trump.

The reality is that running for public office - especially the presidency - puts your life and the lives of those around you under a microscope. Illegal activities that you might otherwise have gotten away with may come to light, and when they do, you might end up getting prosecuted for them or facing other personal or political consequences. This goes for both sides of the political aisle. Do you think anyone would have cared about Hunter Biden if his father hadn't run for president? John Edwards probably would still have a political career (and possibly even his marriage) without his presidential run. And so on.

No one can show you that, it's a quest you will have to make for yourself. No doubt there are elements in any culture from which you could gain enlightenment from or appreciate. But, just as a suggestion, Palestinian culture offers us an example of resilient Nationalism which has lasted for over a century. Whether you can appreciate or gain enlightenment from it is up to you.
