'Collapsing in confusion and haste': John Bolton slams Trump in first comments since FBI raid

President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton spoke out after the FBI raided his home last week, taking aim at the president’s stance on the war in Russia and Ukraine.

The FBI raided the Trump adviser-turned-critic’s home in Bethesda, Maryland and office in Washington, D.C. on Friday morning as part of an investigation related to classified documents.

In his first comments since the raid, Bolton wrote an op-ed Monday in the Washington Examiner slamming Trump’s Russia-Ukraine policies following his meetings with the country’s respective leaders.

“Donald Trump’s Ukraine policy today is no more coherent than it was last Friday when his administration executed search warrants against my home and office,” Bolton began. “Collapsing in confusion and haste, Trump’s negotiations may be in their last throes, along with his Nobel Peace Prize campaign.”

Trump is getting away with some truly massive crimes and the GOP is just letting him do it. That entire party needs to be uprooted from DC.

The entire Republican party is equally to blame, if not more so.

Gotta give Bolton credit for giving Trump the old Fuck You. It's scary to get your home searched by the FBI, I'm sure.
