John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, wanted to write a book. He knew that the White House would do everything it could to stop him. He hired a flashy white-shoe law firm to handle the prepublication review process required by the nondisclosure agreement he signed when he got his security clearance.(Snip) Then his lawyer, Chuck Cooper, wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week intended to put public pressure on the White House. In it, Cooper volunteered that Bolton had violated both his NDA and perhaps a few criminal laws, including the Espionage Act. Now, even if Bolton’s book is never released, he is facing stiff penalties.

This is rather long, but without having read all of it, the reader will not understand it. It is worth the time - the weekend is a good time…. We educate ourselves via articles like this one...

Bolton is a DEEP STATE warmonger.
Trump prefers economic war (China, Iran, North Korea) and ONLY targeting terrorist leaders and their money suppliers.
That doesn't work for the industrial war complex.

John Bolton has shown that he is a loose cannon with warmongering traits, and as such is dangerous to have around. Nobody will ever trust Bolton again with a position of trust in DC. President Trump was elected President by the American people and sets the Administration’s foreign policy, not Bolton.

It appears from the article there are really, really, really stringent controls on classified materiel handled by anyone but a Democrat, such as Clinton.

Bolton has always been an out of control kinda person...I'm amazed Pres. Trump gave him the time of day let alone hiring him. He is a well know war monger, all the advice is the same, KILL THEM, no matter the issue.
It's good to get someone like him in a vice. Hey Johnny Boy, how does it feel to have your own Karma Kick Your Arse?

I'm pretty sure Bolton wanted war with Iran at the very least. He would have been thrilled by adding in North Korea and we would be mired in another 20 year war on two fronts. Hundreds of thousands of our troops would be wounded and killed...but Bolton and his "New World Order" buddies in the Pentagon (Swamp) would be pulling the strings. Trump saw it coming and dumped this war monger!

If you're that ignorant about release of classified information, then you never should have been employed by the goobermint in the first place, much less in a high level position.

Yawn. No one has violated national security regulations/laws as badly as Hillary, and the last time I checked, she's still at "home on the range." the Justice Dept will be too scared of the democrat toads on the Hill and their lackey media boys to prosecute Bolton for this.

Looks like Mr. Bolton is going to be in some serious legal trouble now. I used to pay close attention to what he said. But, like other people apparently deranged by TDS, he had lost his mind in the last couple of years.
I guess "breaking their rice bowls" does that to some hangers-on.

Good! I agree it couldn't make me happier to see Bolton stopped in his tracks! He was out to get revenge on Trump for firing him. Nobody likes a Sore Loser! Hope that Book never, ever sees the Light of Day!

It appears that the hate Trump karmic backlash is still alive and well. It’s boomeranging badly on Mr. Bolton at the moment.
Kudos to above posters for pointing out the PIAPS’s treatment regarding her handling of classified materials.

Bolton has advocated warpath policies leading to foreign wars that could get many thousands of American troops killed for no good reason. There is no way that President Trump would go along with anything like that.
