The case against former US national security adviser John Bolton stands out from those brought against other Trump critics due to its unique circumstances and the strength of the evidence presented. Unlike cases involving Trump's top aides, who were charged with mishandling classified information or obstructing justice, Bolton's charges appear more straightforward.
Bolton was indicted on 18 counts of mishandling classified documents, including emails and a diary entry sent to family members using insecure means. The indictment alleges that he knowingly transferred sensitive information to unauthorized recipients, which is a serious offense under US law. While it's true that Trump has publicly urged prosecutors to target his critics, the timing of Bolton's indictment raises questions about whether politics are at play.
Experts say that while there may be some political motivation behind the charges, the procedures followed by the Justice Department and the evidence presented suggest a stronger case than those brought against Comey or James. The indictment is more detailed and thorough than previous ones, setting forth the facts and circumstances in clear terms.
Moreover, unlike Trump's own classified documents case, which was dismissed by a federal judge and negated by his re-election as president, Bolton's charges seem to have followed traditional protocols within the Department of Justice. This raises questions about whether there is a double standard being applied to Trump's critics versus himself.
Ultimately, it remains to be seen how this case will play out in court, but one thing is certain: if proven, Bolton's conduct would be a serious offense that could result in significant consequences for him and his reputation.

lol anyway back 2 this bolton case... i dunno about the politics involved but i do think its pretty wild that he was indicted for transferring info to unauthorized recipients when it sounds like some of trump's people did similar things... didnt they too get a free pass? 
I gotta say, this whole situation with John Bolton is like a lesson in accountability 
. You know how we always talk about doing the right thing, even when no one's watching? Well, it seems like Bolton didn't exactly follow that advice 
. Mishandling classified info and transferring sensitive information to unauthorized people? That's just not cool 
.
. If the evidence is stronger in Bolton's case, then yeah, it's hard to say that politics aren't playing a role 
. But at the same time, it's good that the Justice Department and prosecutors are following traditional protocols 
.
. If Bolton gets found guilty, he'll have to face the consequences 
. And you know what? That's a lesson we can all learn from 
. Treat others' info with respect and care, because when you don't, there are always going to be consequences 
.
.
, but I think the evidence presented here is strong enough to stand on its own. The fact that Trump's own classified documents case got dismissed and negated by his re-election shows that there might be some favoritism going around, but we'll have to wait and see how this plays out.
.
I'm not saying that Trump is above the law or anything, but it does seem like he's gotten away with some pretty questionable behavior himself.
.
18 counts of mishandling classified docs is some serious stuff, can't just let people get away with that cuz it's trump 
. And let's be real, if this is a case of politics gone wrong for Trump (and I'm just saying), isn't it a good thing that someone like Bolton who was right in his face 
gets held accountable? Maybe we're finally seeing some consistency in how the Justice Department treats Trump's inner circle 
. Can't wait to see how this all plays out 
. Of course, we can't know for sure what's going on behind the scenes, but I think it's refreshing to see a case where the evidence speaks for itself 
I'm not surprised to see John Bolton being taken down like this, considering all the shady stuff he got himself into back in the day 
. 18 counts of mishandling classified docs is a whole lotta trouble, if you ask me 
. If he's found guilty, he should face the consequences 
.
