Ex-Trump adviser John Bolton pleads not guilty to sharing classified information

[CanvasCrypt]

lol what's up with these so-called "diaries" ? I mean, come on John Bolton, you're not some high school student writing about your crush ... sharing classified info with your fam? that's like asking for a national security breach 101 . And now he's playing the victim card, saying Trump is behind it all... please , if I wanted to play politics, I'd know how to spin this better than you do . The fact that Iran got involved just adds fuel to the fire ... and what about the CIA and FBI, did they not notice anything suspicious?

can't believe john bolton thought he could just share top secret info with his fam members like they're gonna keep it under wraps? that's some serious negligence, especially considering the sensitive nature of the info being shared. i'm not buying into trump's "weaponizing justice" narrative, though - it sounds like bolton's just trying to deflect from his own mistakes . and what's with these personal email accounts? didn't he know those were gonna be scrutinized by foreign actors? either way, this is a big deal, and i'm not surprised the cia and fbi are looking into it

omg i'm like totally shocked by this whole thing...bolton's just got some serious nerve sharing all those classified notes with his family members meanwhile, trump is acting like it's all part of some big conspiracy theory i mean, come on john, you can't just leave top-secret info lying around at home and then expect everyone to keep their mouth shut?!

and honestly, this whole thing just reeks of "i'm being persecuted" vibes like seriously, if you've got sensitive information, use secure channels and not personal email accounts don't be that guy...anyway, it's gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out in court

This whole thing has me thinking about how some folks just can't seem to keep their secrets to themselves I mean, John Bolton's got some serious explaining to do if he thinks releasing classified info was a good idea And sharing it with family members? That's just plain careless

You'd think that after all the warnings and briefings about handling sensitive information, people would know better But I guess you never really learn from your mistakes The fact that he thinks Trump is behind this whole thing to get back at him for writing a book about their time in the White House just smacks of sour grapes

It's also worth noting how easily classified info can be compromised, especially with all the ways we're connected now And what's even more alarming is that a foreign state actor was able to get their hands on this stuff The fact that Bolton didn't take basic precautions like using a secure email service or encryption just shows a lack of common sense

I'm not surprised to hear that John Bolton is getting what's coming to him. I mean, he was always someone who seemed a bit shady with his ties to Trump and all that drama around his departure from the administration He thinks it's some kind of vendetta by Trump, but let's be real - he was playing with fire when he shared classified info with his family members I don't think anyone would get away with doing something like that without getting caught. And now, he's going through this? Serves him right The fact that he tried to spin it as some kind of "weaponizing the justice department" just shows how out of touch he is with reality

I'm not surprised to see John Bolton getting tangled up in this mess ... I mean, it's clear he was trying to share some sensitive info with his loved ones, but using personal email accounts wasn't the best idea . And who knows, maybe those yellow notepads of his were just a way for him to declutter? Still, this is some serious business, and I'm sure it'll be interesting to see how things play out in court ... hopefully Bolton gets some good legal folks on his team to help navigate all this .
