The FBI raided John Bolton’s Maryland home early Friday morning in what appears to be another example of weaponized law enforcement. Bolton served as President Trump’s national security adviser but later became one of his harshest critics. Now the deep state is coming for him too.
This raid shows that nobody is safe from the Justice Department’s political witch hunts. Bolton may have turned on Trump, but that didn’t protect him from the same treatment Trump supporters have faced for years. The swamp protects no one when it comes to their power games.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted on social media that “NO ONE is above the law” right after the raid happened. Attorney General Pam Bondi also made tough statements about pursuing justice. These sound like the same empty promises we heard during the Russia hoax.
The search warrant was approved by a federal judge and involves classified documents according to reports. Bolton was not arrested or charged with any crime. But since when has that stopped the FBI from destroying someone’s reputation first?
Bolton lives in Bethesda, Maryland, which is filled with anti-Trump neighbors who probably cheered when they saw FBI agents at his door. These are the same people who pushed Trump Derangement Syndrome for years. Now they get to watch their own get the treatment.
Trump had already stripped Bolton’s security protections back in January along with other political enemies. Bolton chose to bite the hand that fed him by attacking the president after leaving office. Play with fire and you might get burned.
This raid proves that the deep state will turn on anyone who gets in their way. Bolton thought he was safe because he opposed Trump, but the swamp has no loyalty to anyone. They will use and dispose of people as they see fit.
The American people are watching as our justice system continues to be used as a political weapon. Whether you love Bolton or hate him, this raid shows how far our institutions have fallen. We need real reform to stop these abuses of power.
