Dem Jamie Raskin Defends Indicted John Bolton Saying He’s Being Prosecuted for Insulting Trump – Twitchy

Democrat Jamie Raskin is defending embattled former Trump national security advisor John Bolton. Bolton has been indicted by a grand jury for 18 charges that center on the mishandling of classified information. He’s pleaded ‘not guilty’ to those charges. Despite the evidence and grand jury indictment, Raskin says President Donald Trump is going after Bolton for personal reasons.

Here’s Raskin. (WATCH)

Raskin: The only reason Bolton is being prosecuted is because he criticized and insulted Trump.

Not at all concerned with the facts of the case.

The Democrats are only defending Bolton because of Trump.

One poster says the Democrat ‘journalists’ at NPR are pushing the same false ‘it’s personal’ narrative.

Just listened to NPR this morning and they’re saying the same talking point.

Of course they are.

Who do you think writes their scripts?

Facts and evidence are terribly inconvenient for Democrats.

Doesn’t care a whit about anything other than Get Trump.

It’s an obsession, and an illness.

If Trump is perceived as being for anything, then ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats in kneejerk fashion have to oppose it, no matter the subject,

What they are conveniently ‘forgetting’ is that the Bolton investigation started under the previous Democrat administration.

The DOJ opened their investigation into Bolton under Biden😂

Hey @RepRaskin, Biden’s DOJ was in charge of the investigation into John Bolton, not Trump, after U.S. intelligence collected evidence suggesting he mishandled classified material, according to a report in The New York Times.https://t.co/xECgHCOJlN

Bolton was indicted by a Grand Jury in Jamie Raskin’s deep red state of Maryland 🤣 Karma sometimes hit hard

‘Those were all MAGA folks!’

Democrats and the establishment Republicans, who worked with them to go after Trump for the last several years, seem to think they have some kind of special immunity. This poster sees it.

They really believe the fact that they went after Trump is going to be their “Get Out Of Jail Free” card for life.

If they are prosecuted for their crimes, they can frame it as Political Revenge, and Trump wouldn’t dare!

Except he would. Oops.

They may identify as different party members, but it doesn’t mean they can’t flock together when they have a common goal. Hopefully, they can roost in the same prison cells together, too.
