Bad Blood; Trump Sends FBI To Raid John Bolton’s House?!

I am NOT a John Bolton fan- He’s never met a war he didn’t like. Total war monger in my opinion. Disclaimers out of the way- The raid on his home was a shocker. If Trump had this done, why did Trump have this done? And, yes, it is my opinion that Trump was behind this.

FBI raids Trump ex-NSA John Bolton days after outburst on India tariff

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided the home of John Bolton, a former White House national security adviser and former US ambassador to the United Nations, early on Friday as part of a high-profile national security probe.

The action comes days after Bolton criticised President Donald Trump for imposing tariffs on India for its purchases of Russian oil, calling it an “unforced error” that may have pushed New Delhi further into the Beijing-Moscow axis. Bolton had also commented on Trump’s claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, attributing it to his tendency to “take credit for everything”.

India and China hail warming ties amid Trump-induced geopolitical shake-up

India’s prime minister and China’s foreign minister have hailed “steady” progress in their countries’ fractious relationship, agreeing to resume trade and other ties, as well as work towards resolving the long-running Himalayan border dispute, amid a global geopolitical shake-up instigated by Donald Trump’s tariff regime.

India and China have had their disagreements/disputes, but, Trump is lending a hand to mending those fences

Trump, however, said he had limited knowledge of the FBI searching the home of his former aide but called him a “lowlife”. “I’m not a fan of John Bolton,” he told reporters.

Trump is claiming he had limited knowledge? But he still very clearly had knowledge of the raid, however “limited” is being defined?

A Trump administration official confirmed that the raid was ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, who later seemed to confirm the operation with a post on X, saying, “No one is above the law… @FBI agents on mission”.

Reports suggested the FBI agents busted into Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Maryland, at 7 am. The probe centres around Bolton’s handling of classified information, particularly in relation to his 2020 memoir, “The Room Where it Happened”, which Trump had attempted to block due to allegations of revealing national secrets and breaching a non-disclosure agreement signed during his tenure. Despite Trump’s efforts, the book was published. The US Justice Department had opened an inquiry into the book in September 2020.

The former Trump adviser has been regularly appearing on news channels criticising the President’s national security and foreign policy.

In an interview, Bolton had referred to the possible visit by Putin to India later this year and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming China visit, a first since 2018. “Obviously both Moscow and Beijing are going to try to bring India closer to them. I mean, this could have negative consequences (for the US), because it wasn’t well thought through,” Bolton had said.

People close to Trump have privately noted, however, that the president was bothered by Bolton’s recent deprecation of his attempts at peacemaking. And both Trump and some of his top appointees have talked openly about using the criminal justice system against his perceived enemies.

The president earlier this year revoked Bolton’s security clearances and canceled his government security detail.

Four days later, in a Sunday night Truth Social post, Trump again pointed a finger at Bolton, saying he was among the “stupid people” who were making it “much harder” for Trump to end the war by criticizing his approach to Putin

Bolton loves war, that much is true however Bolton can express a critical opinion. Trump can disagree but the FBI moving in on his home looks like more than disagreement.

Any thoughts?
