John Bolton channels Hillary Clinton with explanation on classified material in his book

Greg P. | 10:42 AM on June 23, 2020

CNN’s Davide Gelle’s reports that John Bolton said in regard to his new book, “I didn’t intend to write anything that revealed classified information”:

Bolton: "I didn't intend to write anything that revealed classified information."

LOL. Sounds a lot like someone else we remember. . .

This sounds like Hillary’s defense on the email scandal https://t.co/FuvoJf48WQ

“Pathetic excuse” indeed:

Pathetic excuse

Bolton knew exactly what he was doing and knows he'll get away with it because DOJ is all talk and no action unless you're on Team Trump. https://t.co/J86pcWds2G

Sorry, John: Still a crime:

Can we get a ruling on this @CrimeADay? https://t.co/nDnr3RNEB5

This is like Monopoly when you go to jail, but in this case, Bolton won’t get his $2 million:

Too bad. That’ll be $2m thanks @AmbJohnBolton https://t.co/8MMebZY5RM

As for his crime, Sec. of State Pompeo compared his former colleague to Edward Snowden:

.@SecPompeo on @AmbJohnBolton to @seanhannity: "We all saw what’s happened when people leak classified information like Edward Snowden. What John Bolton did here is not dissimilar from that."

I gave John Bolton, who was incapable of being Senate confirmed because he was considered a wacko, and was not liked, a chance. I always like hearing differing points of view. He turned out to be grossly incompetent, and a liar. See judge’s opinion. CLASSIFIED INFORMATION!!!

He does have a point here:

Washed up Creepster John Bolton is a lowlife who should be in jail, money seized, for disseminating, for profit, highly Classified information. Remember what they did to the young submarine sailor, but did nothing to Crooked Hillary. I ended up pardoning him – It wasn’t fair!
