The irony flies literally off the screen / page here.
Hinderaker is busy pontificating about all the bad things that John Bolton did. It doesn’t really matter to me how it came to light, I always thought he was a tool. But I do know that Trump 2.0 targeted him mostly because he had criticized Trump 1.0.
Well, Trump got his revenge today, when Bolton pleaded guilty… And now faces up to five years in jail.
The reason for my post though is John Hinderaker seems blissfully unaware that his exact same logic and commentary should apply to Donald Trump — shortly after the 2020 transfer of power:
…More importantly, this [TRUMP/Bolton] case illustrates the hazard of casual handling of secret information by Washington insiders that we have seen over and over.
Among other things, the use of personal email accounts to transmit classified information, or simply information that officials want to be immune from FOIA requests, has been widespread and is dangerous.
Let’s hope that TRUMP / Bolton’s example causes officials to act more carefully in the future.…
The level of deflection / projection here is astonishing: Hinderaker indicates that hiding things to avoid FOIA requests is both reprehensible — and felonious.
Ahem, John… there are photos of Donald Trump‘s public washroom (behind the ballroom), and the shuttered stage area of that ballroom — literally stacked willy-nilly with boxes of classified documents that he stole from Washington, as he departed in 2021.
So I don’t wanna’ hear a peep out of John when felony indictments are handed up against Trump 2.0 this time around because you know he will do the same thing, again.
There is evidence that Donnie was selling access to those boxes in the sh!tter. Damn.
Onward.
