John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-adversary, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Maryland, according to two sources.
Bolton is expected to surrender himself, as soon as Friday, to authorities at federal court in Greenbelt.
Bolton, who has been under investigation for alleged unlawful handling of classified information, becomes the third high-profile Trump political enemy to be indicted in less than a month.
Not a fan of Bolton, who was a major proponent of the Iraq war, and who also was Trump’s National Security Advisor during his first administration. While it’s not surprising to see the narcissist he helped enable turn on him, it is deeply disturbing to see the mechanisms of the state so clearly being used to exact revenge on enemies. Neither him nor Comey deserve their political prosecutions, but perhaps if they had directed their efforts to keeping Trump out of power in the first instance they may not be experiencing this now.
