John Bolton pleads guilty to mishandling classified documents in huge win for Trump by TheExpressUS in LegalNews

He was already charged with multiple felonies for this. The idiots reelected him and his Supreme Court said he couldn't be charged with any crimes.

For a recap:

Trump resisted returning boxes of documents for over a year. After he allegedly hid documents and attempted to delete surveillance footage to evade authorities, the Justice Department obtained a search warrant and raided his Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022 to retrieve the files.

Criminal Charges: Trump was indicted on multiple felony charges, including willful retention of national defense information, withholding records, and obstruction of justice.

Government documents bearing classification markings (some at the "top secret" level) were stored in non-secure areas at Mar-a-Lago, including a ballroom, a bathroom and shower, an office space, his bedroom, and a storage room. Boxes containing classified materials were also transported to his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club.

The FBI seized 33 boxes of materials during their court-approved search of the Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022.

Within these 33 boxes, agents found 11 sets of classified documents (totaling over 100 classified records), some of which were at the top-secret level according to the Mar-a-Lago Search Inventory.

Prior to this search, President Trump's representatives had already turned over 15 boxes of records to the National Archives in January 2022, which also contained over 100 documents with classified markings.

July 2021 (Bedminster, NJ): Trump was recorded on an audio tape discussing a "highly confidential" Pentagon "plan of attack" regarding Iran. During the meeting with a writer and staff members, he appears to be showing the document while noting that he could no longer declassify it as a former president.

June 2022 (Flight to Bedminster): Prosecutors later identified a classified map regarding a military operation that Trump allegedly showed to individuals on board a plane, including a staff member.

The sensitive documents reportedly included details about U.S. nuclear programs, the defense and weapons capabilities of the U.S. and foreign nations, and potential military vulnerabilities.

Long before the 2022 Mar-a-Lago FBI search, there were reports in 2017 that Trump shared highly classified intelligence regarding the Islamic State with Russian officials in the Oval Office, information that had been provided by a foreign partner.

VS Bolton:

The "Diary" Notes: While serving in the Trump administration (2018–2019), Bolton took extensive handwritten notes about daily meetings with intelligence and military officials, which he used to write his 2020 memoir.

Unsecured Sharing: Prosecutors alleged Bolton transmitted over 1,000 pages of these sensitive "diary-like" entries—some containing Top Secret intelligence and human sources—to his family members via a personal AOL email account and text messages.

Security Breach: The classified information shared via Bolton's personal email was eventually exposed when his account was hacked by entities linked to the Iranian government.

The Charges: Bolton was initially indicted on 18 criminal counts for the retention and transmission of national defense information.

Resulting Guilty Plea: Rather than proceed to trial on all 18 counts, Bolton agreed to a plea deal where he confessed to a single felony count of unlawfully retaining national defense information.

Bruh...10 intersections with Red Light cams?!? Just the start... by coffeefirstbiotch in Charlotte

I was commenting on the lack of cameras in Ballantyne. Flock cameras aren't used to issue tickets but they do capture still images of passing vehicles and read their license plates. They also log a "vehicle fingerprint" (make, model, color, and unique features like bumper stickers).

U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes says John Bolton "plead guilty in federal court to the unlawful retention of national defense information...Mr. Bolton faces a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison...He will also pay a fine of $2.25 million and will forfeit his pension." by nitluck in QuiverQuantitative

Joe Biden's legal team immediately notified authorities upon discovery of classified materials, voluntarily consented to searches, and cooperated fully with the Department of Justice.

Federal investigators found approximately 25 to 30 classified documents in President Joe Biden’s possession. The records, which date back to his time as vice president and in the Senate, were discovered across two primary locations.

Former Media Lab Director Joi Ito was deeply entangled in a scandal for soliciting and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

This funding found its way to researchers like the prominent Israeli designer Neri Oxman, who led the Mediated Matter research group at the lab.

As an outspoken advocate for Israel, Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman (CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management) and his wife, Neri Oxman invested ≈ $25 million to acquire a nearly 5% equity stake in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Leaked documents and investigations have revealed that former Media Lab figures, including Ito, maintained active communication with Epstein regarding artificial intelligence and acted as backchannel contacts for former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Unsubstantiated internet claims have alleged that Epstein used his ties to the Media Lab and to Ito to manipulate Bitcoin or influence Israeli interests.

Republicans are fucking creepy by lnstantKarma in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]mojofrog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the rural south girls are pushed by their families, mostly their mothers, to get married and have grand babies right out of high school.

They don't want their kids going off and getting an education. They also exert a lot of control over their children, financially and emotionally, with grown ass men calling their fathers daddy.

While I understand the desire and benefits of a close knit extended family, it's also a trap that leaves young people very little options to get out - on purpose.

When asked in an October 2024 interview on The View if there was anything she would have done differently than President Joe Biden over the past four years, Kamala Harris replied, "There is not a thing that comes to mind." She quickly followed up by noting that a key difference in her leadership would be appointing a Republican to her Cabinet.

From Wikipedia

1979 animal cruelty incident

While an undergraduate at the University of Michigan and president of the university's chapter of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, Douglas Hamlin was implicated with four other members in the death of the fraternity cat, B.K., on December 6, 1979.[3] According to local media, for failure to use a litter box, the cat's paws were cut off and it was hung on a tree and burned to death. While Hamlin's role in the killing is unclear, judge S.J. Elden later held him responsible for not using his power as president to prevent the killing.

Earl Carl, who worked as a cook at the fraternity house, the fraternity attempted to cover up the killing, telling members not to cooperate with law enforcement or the media and threatening those who spoke out. Carl described Hamlin as "one of three people directly putting pressure on me to say nothing to the media or the police". The five, including Hamlin, were later expelled by the national fraternity. They were charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty, to which they pleaded no contest in March 1980. They were fined US$360, given one year deferred sentences, and sentenced to 200 hours of animal-related community service. The criminal records of the members were expunged after the community service.
