Oh, trust me, nobody’s shedding a tear over Bolton finally getting the charges he spent years moralizing about. The schadenfreude is premium‑grade. But let’s not pretend this is some Maxwell‑style mystery box. Bolton’s case is about mishandling national defense information...not espionage, not trafficking, not some shadowy ‘who was the customer’ conspiracy. The indictment spells out exactly what he did: the **** transmitted NDI through personal accounts and kept classified material at home. That’s the whole ballgame. Sometimes a rat gets caught because he mishandled classified intel. Sometimes a rat gets caught because he sold it. Bolton’s charges are the first category, and he’s reportedly pleading guilty to it. If more comes out, great...drag every last person involved. But I’m not inventing extra villains just to feel like the plot is deeper. Right now, the only confirmed criminal conduct on the table is Bolton’s.
We can absolutely agree on this: Catching the rat is good. Finishing the job is better. But I’m not filling in blanks the evidence hasn’t filled in yet.
Well, the "evidence" we are allowed is often less than the evidence that exists.
I am not the MOST skeptical person on earth, but I do have a reasonable amount of skepticism. When I am told a fellow committed serious crimes without a profit motive, my brows elevate. They just do. I smell withheld information.
