John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-adversary, has reached a plea deal over mishandling sensitive national security information, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

He intends to plead guilty to one felony count of illegal retention of sensitive national security information, according to one of the sources. He has also agreed to pay a more than $2 million fine, according to one of the sources.

A conviction on one count of illegal retention could come with a sentence between 0 and 60 months in prison. The Justice Department declined to comment and referred CNN to the court docket, which indicates a hearing was set for June 26.

The plea deal comes months after the top Trump foe was charged by prosecutors in Maryland for allegedly keeping diary entries from the first Trump White House in his home.

Prosecutors accused Bolton of sharing “more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities” through his personal email account with two unauthorized individuals, who CNN has reported are his wife and daughter. The alleged transmission of classified information isn’t part of the charges he expects to plead guilty to.

I'm okay with this if he knowingly broke the law. We have secrecy protections and laws for a reason. I just hope the Justice Dept. goes after everyone who broke secrecy laws. Say if someone texted everyone in a group chat our plans for a military attack.
 
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL BOARD: John Bolton for National Security

“The president’s decision to appoint John Bolton as his national security adviser reflects an understanding of the critical lessons of history, and the Bolton designation will greatly reduce the grave risks now faced by America during today’s increasingly troubled times.”

NATIONAL REVIEW’S DAVID FRENCH: John Bolton isn’t Dangerous. The World is.

“He’s a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He’s on the board of trustees of the National Review Institute. He’s a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He’s a conservative hawk, yes, but he’s squarely in the mainstream of conservative foreign-policy thought.”


USA TODAY’S JAMES S. ROBBINS: John Bolton will Finally Let Donald Trump be Donald Trump on Foreign Policy

“If the president can get a better trade deal for American workers while also encouraging Beijing to make Pyongyang see reason and abandon its nuclear weapons, he could be in the running for a Nobel Peace Prize. And Bolton and Pompeo are likely to help him get there.”

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE’S MICHAEL RUBIN IN THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Enough with the John Bolton Smears — He’ll be the Best National Security Adviser in a Generation

“But Bolton is a formidable intellect, a clear thinker, organized, and a team player. The purpose of the National Security Council is to coordinate the interagency process. Not only is Bolton meticulous about process, but he also has the wherewithal to do two things so many past national security advisers did not: force decisions when they needed to be made and then impose discipline on the process to ensure those decisions were carried out.”

HUGH HEWITT IN THE WASHINGTON POST: John Bolton is a Great Addition to the White House

“As the president’s top security aide, Bolton will be an honest broker and someone who can drive decisions through molasses-thick resistance. These qualities, plus his top-shelf intellect, make Bolton the best national security player to join Trump’s West Wing team so far.”

NEW YORK POST’S MICHAEL GOODWIN: White House Shake-Ups Prove Trump’s Putting America First

“In truth, Bolton is a hawk because the world is full of dangerous actors and some evil ones and he sensibly believes there’s no point of being America if we’re going to roll over and surrender our advantages. Already there are rumblings that Russia, China and North Korea won’t be happy to see Bolton having the president’s ear — which proves Trump chose wisely.”

President Donald Trump

"He's going to be a fantastic representative of our team."
 
Hey, let's prosecute the Pig and Biden for the same crime Bolton committed.

In the cased of Trump that would be double jeopardy and Unconstitutional.

You wouldn't perhaps be advocating that you'd be willing to break the law in order to prosecute someone whom you call a "pig" now would you?

It would speak volumes about you and your character if you are.
 
Hey, let's prosecute the Pig and Biden for the same crime Bolton committed.

And Pence:

Of course, only the Pig (and maybe Pence) would be legitimate prosecutions. President Biden apparently was unaware he was in possession of any classified material (his staff packed up his office). And even a hand picked REPUBLICAN prosecutor could NOT find enough evidence to prosecute / charge Joe Biden

😑

Meanwhile:

• The Pig was DEFINITELY aware of the classified material in his possession that he was sharing.

• John Bolton (a TRUMP HIRE and a REPUBLICAN) was DEFINITELY aware of the classified information in his possession that he was sharing.

👎

We. Told. Them. So.

Bolton is an asshole warhawk. That he worked for Trump in his first term is due to Trump taking other people's advice on who to appoint or hire.

8 years later, Trump learned the lay of the land and chose much more wisely.

There were no wars under Bolton and trump, but there are several under the Secretary of War and trump, you absolute moron.

Trump did exactly what Bolton said he should do while he was working for him.

Look you can find legitimate sources of news. Only when it fits your narrative.

The rest of the time… basement bloggers galore!

But it makes you feel good… and since you aren’t smart enough to even realize it….

Enjoy the Brawndo with your meatloaf!

Yeah, John Dolton is a criminal, and Pete Kegsbreath is a drunk who shared classified attack plans on Signal chat.

I’m starting to suspect that it’s the fault of the dumb POS who hired those clowns…

🤔 😳 😑 🤣 🤬
