NYT: A Foreign Intelligence Service Intercepted Emails In Which John Bolton Shared Classified Information With Friends and Family Members
No one is, as they say, above the law.
This investigation began during the Biden Captivity. Of course, they declined to prosecute. But they did investigate.John Bolton Inquiry Eyes Emails Obtained by Foreign Government It is not clear what country intercepted Mr. Bolton's private emails, but the investigation into President Trump's former national security adviser picked up momentum under the Biden administration.If it turns out to be Israel, Tucker Carlson won't know what to think! He'll probably ask Darryl Cooper.
The investigation into President Trump's former national security adviser, John R. Bolton, began to pick up momentum during the Biden administration, when U.S. intelligence officials collected information that appeared to show that he had mishandled classified information, according to people familiar with the inquiry. The United States gathered data from an adversarial country's spy service, including emails with sensitive information that Mr. Bolton, while still working in the first Trump administration, appeared to have sent to people close to him on an unclassified system, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive case that remains open.So it's Hillary Clinton's bathroom server all over again. Black Orchid points out the word "adversarial," which I missed, meaning this isn't Israel, and could just be Russia. DRUMPF IS A RUSSIAN AGENT!!!!! (Except that the intelligence was gathered under "President" Biden.)
The investigation of Mr. Bolton, who has become an ardent critic of the president, burst back into public view last week when federal agents searched his Maryland home and Washington office.Fox:
While those searches have raised fresh questions about the extent to which Mr. Trump may be using the Justice Department and F.B.I. to try to punish those he dislikes, the new details of the case present a more complex chain of events. The disclosures suggest that a long-running investigation into Mr. Bolton's activities changed over time, with some of the issues echoing past inquiries into the handling of national security secrets. The emails in question, according to the people, were sent by Mr. Bolton and included information that appeared to derive from classified documents he had seen while he was national security adviser. Mr. Bolton apparently sent the messages to people close to him who were helping him gather material that he would ultimately use in his 2020 memoir, "The Room Where It Happened." In a sign of the stakes for Mr. Bolton, he is in talks to retain the high-profile criminal defense lawyer Abbe Lowell. Mr. Lowell, who has represented Mr. Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Mr. Biden's son Hunter, is defending two other prominent perceived enemies of Mr. Trump who are now under scrutiny: the New York state attorney general, Letitia James, and Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board.
One major reason for conducting the searches was to see if Mr. Bolton possessed material that matched or corroborated the intelligence agency material, which, if found, would indicate that the emails found in the possession of the foreign spy service were genuine, the people said. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment. Through a representative, Mr. Bolton declined to comment. Two federal judges authorized the warrants for the F.B.I. to conduct the searches. To obtain the search warrants, prosecutors would have had to show that they had reason to believe that Mr. Bolton possessed evidence that showed he could have mishandled classified information.
The FBI's raid on John Bolton's home and office is tied to an investigation that reaches beyond his controversial book, a source told Fox News Digital, fueling speculation that the former Trump adviser could face criminal charges. The scope of any potential charges against Bolton, who served under President Donald Trump before falling out of favor with him in 2019, is uncertain, but experts tend to agree that Bolton has some legal exposure. Prominent D.C.-based attorney Mark Zaid, who specializes in national security, said that while there are many unknowns about the Department of Justice's investigation into Bolton, his memoir, "The Room Where It Happened," could be an area of vulnerability for him. "With respect to Bolton's book, he is potentially vulnerable if he maintains any copies of early drafts which were determined to contain 'voluminous' amounts of classified information when it was first submitted to the White House for review," Zaid told Fox News Digital. "Those drafts were likely disseminated, per normal course of business, to his literary agent, publisher and lawyer."Peter Navarro writes in The Hill about the finding by a court that Bolton had disclosed classified information in his "cash-in" book. The judge, however, declined to stop the book's publication, as 200,000 copies had already been printed and the secrets Bolton disclosed were now already well-publicized. Navarro:
John Bolton cashed in and America paid the price I went to prison for defending the Constitutional separation of powers. John Bolton (an occasional contributor to The Hill) may well wind up in prison, too if investigators uncover evidence and prosecutors decide to bring charges over his alleged classified disclosures. When Bolton wrote his book, "The Room Where It Happened" -- reportedly receiving a $2 million advance -- he wasn't just dishing gossip. He was sharing information about Oval Office conversations and national security that should have stayed secret -- either by law or under executive privilege. A federal judge already spelled this out in black and white. In June 2020, Judge Royce Lamberth warned that Bolton had "likely jeopardized national security by disclosing classified information in violation of his nondisclosure agreement obligations." The judge only allowed the book to hit shelves because "the horse is already out of the barn," given the publication of excerpts and the shipment of 200,000 copies of the book. Lamberth went further in his ruling, stressing that Bolton had "gambled with the national security of the United States" and that the government was "likely to succeed on the merits" of proving he unlawfully disclosed classified material. Translation: Bolton didn't just break trust -- he may have also broken the law. I served with Bolton, and he was far too frequently a loose cannon, bent on bombings and coups-- Doctor Strangelove with a mustache. He agitated for airstrikes, pushed regime-change fantasies, and obsessed over military solutions when diplomacy was working. Then, instead of honoring executive privilege and confidential debate, Bolton acknowledged that in writing his memoir he relied on the "copious notes" he had conspicuously taken inside the White House. That isn't service. That isn't patriotism. That's profiteering off of America's secrets.Meanwhile, The Bulwark:

Wait. What's that? He was being investigated by Biden. Well, that's different. A total straight shooter like Biden would never abuse government power to investigate / prosecute someone who disliked Trump unless they were guilty.

What will come out eventually was that Bolton was not merely sharing classified material with friends and family members, but also with "clients" of his, like the government of Qatar.
Just part of Washington's corruption - the reason why ex-senior officials furiously fight to keep their security clearances even after they've left government is that their "consulting" businesses don't work without continued access to classified material.

It just needs to be standard operating procedure from here on out that as soon as somebody no longer works directly for the US government on national security issues, their credentials get stripped and all materials are seized.
I'm trying to figure out the reasoning why this doesn't already happen. So they can get a gig on CNN? And that serves out national interest how? You can't take things home from your former job and still have access to all your files and emails.

He absolutely had presidential aspirations. He was seen as a threat to Obama, and steps were taken to remove him from the board. It's a shame that he was fool enough to engage in an affair while doing it. IIRC, it wasn't necessarily the allegations of mishandling of classified docs that scuttled his would-be campaign, but it was the affair.

I wouldn't bet on Israel. The "five eyes" countries are the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and us. We all spy on each other and pass the intel to the country being spied on. It's how the US and other countries historically got around the laws saying the government isn't allowed to spy on its own people.
Well, that and blatantly ignoring those laws.
So my first bet would be one of those guys caught Bolton.

Of course, officially, just having a security clearance should not grant continued access to classified material. Classified materials are only supposed to be accessed if you have a security clearance of the appropriate level AND the need to know. Funny how that second part always seems to be forgotten.

59 Of course, officially, just having a security clearance should not grant continued access to classified material. Classified materials are only supposed to be accessed if you have a security clearance of the appropriate level AND the need to know. Funny how that second part always seems to be forgotten.

And, it doesn't allow you to just keep classified material. It only allows access, which requires people on the inside to request that those on the outside look at stuff.
Well, how it's supposed to work.
I bet a shocking number of retired bureaucrats with classified access have material in their personal possession that they shouldn't.

26 It just needs to be standard operating procedure from here on out that as soon as somebody no longer works directly for the US government on national security issues, their credentials get stripped and all materials are seized.
I'm trying to figure out the reasoning why this doesn't already happen. So they can get a gig on CNN? And that serves out national interest how? You can't take things home from your former job and still have access to all your files and emails.

It is SOP.. just people not doing or afraid of doing their jobs and inactivating people. I've been outta the USMC/DoD game for 10yrs or so but my credentials were "turned off" immediately upon leaving said position regardless of my rank. S'posed to be based on need to know not wanting to know. Yeah I had a TS or Secret clearance but it meant nothing unless I was holding a "need to know" position.

It would be interesting to know when individuals within government were truly held responsible and accountable.
There is some - at the lower levels. Letter carriers or Clerks who steal mail for example. Or soldiers who lose their rifle.
But if you lose a War, well, that’s different! $87 Billion dollars worth of planes, helicopters, trucks, radios, machine guns, night vision devices, and golly knows what all negligently abandoned in Afghanistan - after 20 years of fighting and dying - was really something to see.
But - when was the last time? Sandy Burglar sort of got punished, kinda sorta, though not really. Performance Art.
Hm. Well - Martha Stewart went to Prison! Hm…
Probably sometime in the 1960s, maybe the 1970s.

During the Russia hoax days some of the information our intel community used came from the Dutch intel community that was spying on Russia.
I don't know what country got Bolton's emails, I lean toward Russia, but everyone is spying on everyone else.

🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢
Did you know The Bulwark has a subreddit? Let's see what the super cucks and simps have to say.
Thread title: So...Russia is likely helping Trump with Bolton case
The main difference between Trump and everyone else is they cooperated with law enforcement, which is something I'm sure John Bolton would have done if given the proper chance.
I don’t doubt Bolton COULD have mishandled classified information, but at the 100th political scandal on the topic it’s clear the domain needs drastic reform and brighter lines if it’s become such a problem that people who should be fluent are flailing
And that's about it. They have 16K subscribed, but few posters, because they're The Bulwark. They aren't even worth bot engagement lol. Who would they be influencing?

AOP, report is that US intel obtained foreign intel surveillance product that included the Bolton emails. We eavesdropped their eavesdropped stuff. And this occurred in the prior "administration", investigation began then.
Olympian indolence still prevents me from looking to check, but pretty sure at some point in the public hubbub over H. Clinton's historic Espionage Act crime wave at State (not an "email" or "server" issue, per se, systematic willful violation of the Espionage Act by the entire 7th Floor), it was publicly reported that our intel had confirmed "exploitation" by a foreign service. So, same as the Bolton case, WRT our awareness that a foreign entity had indeed exploited the security failure in question.

Ah a hypocrite being caught up in his own hypocrisy. Berates Trump for the classified documents (which was a setup anyways) and yet commits an even more serious crime, leaking classified information to unauthorized individuals.
Anyone who has a clearance has to go through the training and knows the penalties for violations, 25 years and/or up to $250,000 fine. At least for the worker bees/peons. The truly important beautiful people don't have to worry about it apparently.

I think a common practice got out of hand. It used to be common for a current Sec of Defense, for example, to call up or talk to a former DoD official, in regards to specific policy issues facing the current DoD type. Even more so in spookworld with former 'retired' spooks often being used for current ops, not just advice, and these former spooks are usually found in defense/intel/risk assessment contractors to FedGov. This gives a plausible reason to keep security clearances for those willing to go through the mill of appointment and confirmation by Senate. Hazing ritual for joining the permanent elite club in spookworld.
So during the Cold War, info classification became a valuable job credential for out of government employment and useful for government to be able to consult with former office holders about matters.
This created one big happy club of those in the loop and those excluded from the inner workings of our nat-sec and law enforcement elites.

A while ago I heard someone mention Darryl Cooper in some context about Jonestown.
So I checked it out. The first video in the series sucked, but I figured it was introductory, and loaded the second one up. Didn't make it through.
For one thing, the guy just tries to connect way too many dots, and too many of them involve Darryl Cooper.
"The story of Jim Jones begins with an amoeba in the Marianas Trench 4.5b years ago, but before we get to that, we need to discuss racial justice in mid-century Joplin, MO for about 20 minutes, and how that relates to my experience of constructing a tire-swing when I was 10."
Just unbearable.

"The story of Jim Jones begins with an amoeba in the Marianas Trench 4.5b years ago, but before we get to that, we need to discuss racial justice in mid-century Joplin, MO for about 20 minutes, and how that relates to my experience of constructing a tire-swing when I was 10."
Just unbearable.

She says that the "for cause" clause in the Federal Reserve Act doesn't apply to her essentially because she did the thing before she was in office.
It's an implicit admission that she did the thing.

Huh, bold move, there, cotton. Mortgage fraud is a felony offense, from what I gather. She's admitting she committed a felony, but, since it happened before she was hired, it shouldn't count?

Fun to look at this from a "motive" standpoint. Biden's investigators were motivated by the ability to compromise someone on the "Right" and likely influence that individual's future behavior. That ability is lost the moment Bolton enters the Justice System, so they didn't pursue it through the appropriate channels. Instead they used it as the "Sword of Damocles". Quite effectively, I might add based on all the MSNBC and CNN appearances of Bolton.

I would go after Bolton no matter what. But the chances of actually getting an indictment -- let alone a conviction -- are low.

Any chance Bolton's the choice to kick off the coup investigations with his testimony on what he knew, when and the who did what spiel?
I mean, I'd single out one, two or maybe three people who are "weak" and probably know enough to get a full fledged investigation launched. Pressing them wouldn't be hard nor take too long.

Any intelligent lawyer working in DC on government employment right now knows that no one, appointed or hired, has won against Trump's authority over the executive branch.
The only reed she has is the assumption that the Fed is special. Which it's technically not. It's a subsidiary of the Treasury Department and the governors technically report to the Secretary of the Treasury. As designed in the Federal Reserve Act.
Humphrey's Executor gave it this aura of being independent, but independent agencies do not exist in the federal government.

Hey, it might work. Prior to the VA being reformed somewhat, a VA employee committed an armed robbery in Puerto Rico. He got found out, convicted, and sentenced to prison. And was serving there. VA mgmt fired him. He got reinstated by the Merit Service Board as he did not commit the robbery on government time so it was viewed as unfair to punish the VA employee for not showing up to work when he was sitting in prison.
Occurred in first Trump term and the outrage led to a new law allowing some discretion in firing VA employees and closing down some means of appealing those firings.

If she did something before her tenure, or in her private life, that gives rise to questions concerning her honesty and integrity, surely that's cause to fire her.
Her argument basically means that if 10 years ago she held a 12-year-old boy down while her boyfriend raped him, that could not be cause to fire her because it took place before her tenure.

Security clearances can be transferred from one sponsoring agency to another. It can take a while sometimes. It's easier and cheaper than having to go through the process again but still involves plenty of paperwork.
They do periodic checks to see if you still need your current level of clearance in addition to the 5 year re-investigation.

I would go after Bolton no matter what. But the chances of actually getting an indictment -- let alone a conviction -- are low.
Posted by: Elric The Blade
===========
Bolton will plead out most likely. But finished in DC if not banished from the media.
The normal means is to pile up such a large amount of charges plus apparently his daughter and wife are now co-conspirators in receiving classified information via his emails.
Thus, he gets the maximum espionage act charges for EACH email meaning never leaving prison for the rest of his miserable life. And that is leaving aside probable FARA violations as acting on behalf of a foreign power without registration (why we don't see Flynn back in govt--Turkey representation). Plus Bolton lived in MD, which means that DoJ can finesse where the charges are filed outside of DC.
He'll plead out.

Have said it before. Bolton is a smarmy sack of cow excrement who will do anything and say anything just to have a desk and office somewhere inside the Beltway. He is the classic DC insider-wannabe. Near greatness, maybe can ouch the hem of greatness, but in the end, just another in a long list of bureaucrat losers.

She says that the "for cause" clause in the Federal Reserve Act doesn't apply because she did the illegal thing before she was in office.
——-
That’s fine, but the compromise is she has to resign and re-apply for the job, and get confirmed all over again.
Too bad so sad. Plus, negro fatigue is a thing. It’s 2025, not 1935. Everybody is well and truly tired of corrupt incompetents hiding behind their race or ethnicity. You are an embarrassment to your race, not a credit, btw.

They say the same thing about Cops. “It’s intimidating to see them in a restaurant”
Sez who?? The MFer with 2 outstanding warrants for arrest, that’s who. When I was traveling cross-country, sometimes a state trooper would be eating breakfast at 4 in the morning or whatever. That’s a good thing.
The restaurant likes it. The customers like it. Just who is against this sort of thing? Criminals, that’s who, and those who support them. And I’m no bootlicker, I’ve many serious issues with the way law enforcement is being operated. But let’s face facts.

Bolton appeared during the GWB reign, if I am remembering correctly. Then begin thinking he was the Grand Poobah of all matters with war or potential war.
The Bush League did not like Trump. So possibly he was a GWB plant, then Barbara Bush adopted Billy Clinton. They are all one big happy family.
Until President Trump 1.
Remember the funeral when Jeb went pale then shot his weak laser glare at Trump at Daddy Bush's funeralizing? Laura looked shaken, not stirred (as she's usually drunk). GWB nodded and stared into space as his father's coffin went by.
President Trump knows. They know he knows. Bolton now knows he knows. We all know.
Ole Hillary has known since before she screamed at the Water Buffalo Brazile after a town hall, that they would all would swing if Trump got elected.
I hope they all resort to self immolation.

In a republic, we have recreated a faux aristocracy with its own privileges that are not allowed to common folks. To wit, a poor guy took a photo of his sub. He got thrown under the bus.
General Betrayus had his mistress reading up and being debriefed on all sorts of information that she was not legally privy to. Betrayus is simply fired.
Killary keeps a homebrewed server with no security as Secretary of State so she can connive with her political cronies for 2016 race and is not charged. Then she compounds the felonies involved by destroying evidence. And so it goes.
One standard for the DC elite, quite another for Trump and us.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez has been fired, the White House said on Wednesday, less than a month after being sworn in, and four senior officials have resigned amid growing tensions over vaccine policies and public health directives.

Monarez's attorneys, Mark S. Zaid and Abbe David Lowell, denied she had resigned or had been fired, adding in a statement that "as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign."

That's kind of an issue there. Just because there's a classified data spill doesn't mean that it's automatically declassified. If something is classified, I MAY NOT SPEAK OF IT, regardless of whether it is already in the wind.

Off subject, but just read this on neighbors of the shooting suspect. Basically an article with a photo of this freak, with commentary by a neighboring couple, both "mental health professionals", saying nothing seemed wrong with this freak, then basically saying most 20 somethings in cities are trans or some adjacent form of freak and there's nothing wrong with that, then finally bemoan how nobody 'caught the warning signs' and helped this sick f*ck. Any sane person (which rules out most Democrats) knows this guy is f*cked up at first glance. This article should be Exhibit 1 in why all 'mental health certifications' should be revoked. I really have a hard time believing these 'professionals' do more good than harm, on the whole...

I feel the same way. Trump just didn't really understand the game. I also think his son-in-law Kushner was really giving him bad advice.
He completely got bogged down with the Russia investigation and seemed overly timid with everything. It seemed like he allowed Fauci way too much power on the Covid response.
Trump 2.0 is way, way better.

For all concerned, Trump and the other defendants have appealed the appellate decision on the Leshitta Shames witch hunt. I'm trying to find out of their notice of appeal -- which I have located -- contain requests to the Court of Appeals to hear the case. If not, then apparently defendants are taking the position that they have an appeal as of right. That could be a significant development.

You are correct. This court has a basic problem of denial of due process rights. The normal cases that it handled were de minimus individual cases with low stakes for companies and individuals. It was weaponized so that it suddenly handled a billion dollar company with no complainants except the state of NY.
Essentially taking of property without proper due process by the state of NY. That being said, Scotus has screwed the pooch on asset forfeiture cases for a long time now by allowing states and localities to use its leos as bagmen to seize money and property without charges. The vague justifications are that is was related to drug use does not cut it absent charges and a conviction.
Requiring victims to bear legal costs to recover their stolen property by the state simply adds insult to injury.

213 Off subject, but just read this on neighbors of the shooting suspect. Basically an article with a photo of this freak, with commentary by a neighboring couple, both "mental health professionals", saying nothing seemed wrong with this freak, then basically saying most 20 somethings in cities are trans or some adjacent form of freak and there's nothing wrong with that, then finally bemoan how nobody 'caught the warning signs' and helped this sick f*ck.
Mental health professionals. Nothing wrong.
No, red flag laws wouldn't have caught shit.

UTTER BULLSHITE
I knew a whole lot of 20yr old when I was 20yrs old. We all knew what we were. We did crazy stuff, oh, yes. But we were not full of hate and confused as to what our nethers were.
Enraged self has been activated for a day.

Is Benjamin Wittes the "friend" Comey used to leak classified information to the Propaganda Organs? My rough memory is that he is that person.

First ban psychology from being paid by Medicare. Only psychiatrists.

How does this help? Psychiatrists don’t counsel, they prescribe meds. Maybe it would help some, but not everyone needs medication.

I'm trying to figure out the reasoning why this doesn't already happen. So they can get a gig on CNN? And that serves out national interest how? You can't take things home from your former job and still have access to all your files and emails.

The excuse is to make it convenient for them to be consulted. The reason is so that they can get jobs as pundits and inside men after leaving government for stealing more many.

Another way in which we're screwed for the next 2-3 generations: the contamination of the mental health field. The current professionals and all the teachers have to be washed out before we can get back to treating people for mental disorders properly.

So, to recap - a militant anti-tobacco, vegetarian homosexual socialist. He would have fit right in at Berkely. I pointed this out to my Schoolteacher Uncle, and he looked like he’d swallowed a lemon. He knew damn well, more than I had, that I was correct.

You know who else was a vegetarian socialist?
