Bolton WAS Trump’s 1.0 National Security Advisor….
He has since turned AGAINST his former boss…
Has THAT earned him a FBI home visit?
Hmmmm?
Presdent Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton on Friday, provoking concerns from Democrats that one of Trump’s fiercest critics had been targeted for political purposes.
The FBI confirmed a “court-authorized law enforcement activity” took place at Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Md., in the early morning.
FBI agents could be seen bringing boxes into Bolton’s home for the search.
“NO ONE is above the law,” FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X, without naming Bolton.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on X that “public corruption will not be tolerated.”
The search pertains to the alleged possession of classified documents, NewsNation reports.
Vice President Vance said in an interview with NBC News’s Kristen Welker for “Meet the Press” that “classified documents are certainly part of it,” in addition to “a broad concern about” about Bolton that investigators are “going to look into.”

“We’re in the very early stages of an ongoing investigation into John Bolton. I will say we’re going to let that investigation proceed,” Vance said during a clip of his interview with MSNBC’s “Meet the Press….

David Axelrod….
David Axelrod, the Obama-era White House chief strategist, weighed in on the FBI raid of John Bolton’s house Friday, arguing the move will “send a message” to critics of the Trump administration.
“I think this is not just an attempt to, or could be, an attempt to silence John Bolton, but also to send a message to other critics of the administration that the full weight of the administration, including the Justice Department, will fall on you if you displease the president,” Axelrod said on CNN.
The ongoing feud between President Trump and Bolton, who served as his national security adviser during his first term, has prompted some critics to argue Friday morning’s raid of his home and office was a retributive act.
“And the fact that the FBI director, you know, goes online and tweets about this or whatever, whatever form of posting he did, the fact that the vice president of the U.S. jumps on that, suggests that this is a politically motivated gesture,” Axelrod continued. …
