IF Biden had ordered the raid on John Bolton, it *would* have been seen

as political, intentional or not.

It's just as political, optics-wise, when Trump raids Bolton's house, perhaps moreso, as Bolton was consistently and harshly critical. And he observed Trump in the WH. He wasn't postulating or surmising. He saw, he heard, he knew.

Why do DEMS bend over backwards to deny what is obvious and readily validated? Yes, all have to skirt libel/slander liability if one is a legal "pundit," but it has become ridiculous and only gives TRUMP a shield from his actions that he will use to defend himself.

I am just fed up. Meidas Touch comes the closest to calling "a spade a spade," as legal commentary, but nearly all the other podcasts, written blogs, and live comments sound as though they are coming from Trump's lawyers.
