JUST IN: John Bolton Responds to Criminal Indictment

[Conservative Angle]

​

This afternoon, President Trump’s former National Security adviser John Bolton was criminally indicted on 18-counts under the Espionage Act.

He’s now facing potential decades behind bars.

If you missed it, here’s the full scoop on that:

Now, John Bolton has released a statement in response to the indictment.

As expected, he cried foul, accusing President Trump of political "retribution" and "weaponizing" the DOJ against him.

In case that's hard to read, here's the full text:

For four decades, I have devoted my life to America’s foreign policy and national security. I would never compromise those goals. I tried to do that during my tenure in the first Trump Administration but resigned when it became impossible to do so. Donald Trump’s retribution against me began then, continued when he tried unsuccessfully to block the publication of my book, The Room Where It Happened, before the 2020 election, and became one of his rallying cries in his re-election campaign.

Now, I have become the latest target in weaponizing the Justice Department to charge those he deems to be his enemies with charges that were declined before or distort the facts...

These charges are not just about his focus on me or my diaries, but his intensive effort to intimidate his opponents, to ensure that he alone determines what is said about his conduct. Dissent and disagreement are foundational to America’s constitutional system, and vitally important to our freedom. I look forward to the fight to defend my lawful conduct and to expose his abuse of power.

Hmm, that's interesting.

Very ironically, that wasn't the same sentiment John Bolton had when President Trump was accused of the same crime...

Well, folks, you heard it straight from the horse's mouth!

"Very serious crimes."

"Devastating indictment."

John Bolton agrees -- he's cooked.
