I don’t know the Bolton case beyond what I was told today. But I’m very familiar with the other leak cases now being investigated (the 2016-2019 Russiagate leaks especially) and those seem very real and systemic and worthy of prosecutorial attention.

@mtaibbi Here's the thing: you're excoriating Democrats for any abuses perceived and real while giving Trump a pass time and again. Let's go to 2025: is the FBI going after John Bolton an obvious authoritarian use of government to target a critic of the president or not?
