The Press needs to begin labeling these as Revenge Raids. If you speak ill of Trump you get a retaliation swat from his Orangeness.

Absolutely! We should all call them that and let the media know that that’s exactly what they are. I think Revenge Raids deserves an OP of its own.

Once again, I have to feel a small amount of empathy for one of these old school right wingers.

Bolton is a garbage human being with no decency or impulse control. That being said, even though he was wrong about everything I now think that he ultimately wanted the country to succeed without the desire to slide into fascism. His actions were reprehensible, but he wasn’t burning everything to the ground.

I hate defending assholes like Bolton, but this is clearly a case of 'actual fascist abusing power is worse than neoconservative warmonger'.

I just hope the FBI took his hand grenade away.

5. If the FBI did discover classified documents at Bolton's home

and presses charges, there may be an interesting twist during discovery.

Were the same documents at Mar-A-Largo? Since Trump claims he de-classified all of them.

Reality Winner stole one classified document in 2017 and served 4 years behind bars. How much time would that add up to for TFG's stolen piles of BOXES??
