Righteous Trump Begins Counter Lawfare: FBI Raids Nasty John Bolton's House
"This disloyal idiot John Bolton has fabricated foreign policy development by the first Trump Administration and performed political theater spreading daily falsehoods about President Trump, so this raid is a good start for some balance in America," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
Shortly before 7:00 a.m. Friday morning, the FBI and Montgomery County police were seen at the Bethesda home of John Bolton, who served as national security advisor for part of Donald Trump's first term. Montgomery County police sealed off the street on which Bolton lives while an unmarked black SUV parked in front of Bolton's house. Montgomery County police confirmed that they were on site in support of the FBI.
