Dan Goldman: If Allegations Against John Bolton Are True, It Is a Crime, But Is He Charged Because Trump ‘Doesn’t Like Him?’

‘He talks so much about going after his enemies and using the criminal justice system to do that’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GOLDMAN: “Well, this is why Donald Trump‘s abuse of the criminal justice system and the FBI is so problematic. This was an investigation that has been going on for some time. I think preceding Donald Trump‘s presidency. And it‘s a quite detailed indictment, as Caitlin just said. But the problem is that Donald Trump talks so much about John Bolton. He talks so much about going after his enemies and using the criminal justice system to do that. We have seen very, very weak, thin, perhaps meritless indictments of Jim Comey and Letitia James recently. And so that puts a very different gloss over John Bolton‘s indictment. This one is different than those. This is a much more thorough investigation. And if the allegations are true it is a crime. But we are left wondering whether or not he was charged because Donald Trump doesn‘t like him.”
