(Patriot Command Center) This is a ‘must read’ The left laughed at Trump and MAGA, falsely believing that the MAGA movement was just another ‘flash in the pan.’ Now they run in fear!
Get this. Washington, D.C. – October 16, 2025, In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the corridors of power, former National Security Advisor John Bolton has been indicted on federal charges related to the mishandling of classified documents, marking yet another high-profile scalp in what President Donald Trump is hailing as a long-overdue purge of Washington’s entrenched elite.
“The swamp is draining, folks, one deep-state dinosaur at a time,” Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after the news broke, echoing his campaign promise to root out corruption from the highest levels of government.
Buckle your seatbelts! I got so much info for you; you’ll have to read it twice to get all of it!
The indictment, unsealed Thursday in federal court in Maryland, accuses the 76-year-old Bolton of unlawfully retaining and sharing sensitive national security information long after his contentious departure from the Trump White House in 2019. According to court documents, prosecutors allege that Bolton “abused his position” during his 17-month tenure by transmitting top-secret materials via personal online accounts and failing to return them upon leaving office.
The 18-count indictment includes eight specific charges of unlawful transmission of national defense information, potentially carrying decades in prison if convicted.
This isn’t Bolton’s first brush with controversy over classified intel. The probe traces its roots back to 2020, when the hawkish diplomat, once brought in by Trump to stare down North Korea’s Kim Jong-un—turned into one of the president’s fiercest critics. After a dramatic firing via tweet, Bolton penned his explosive memoir, The Room Where It Happened, which leaked to The New York Times amid Trump’s first impeachment trial. The book detailed alleged quid pro quo schemes involving Ukraine aid, claims that helped fuel the House’s articles of impeachment. The White House demanded Bolton scrub any classified content before publication, but he pressed ahead anyway, selling hundreds of thousands of copies.
A federal judge at the time stopped short of pulping the already-printed and shipped books but warned that Bolton had “likely” jeopardized national security. The Biden administration, perhaps wary of escalating partisan warfare, allowed the matter to fade. But Trump, back in the Oval Office for his second term, revived the ghost of investigations past. Earlier this year, he revoked Bolton’s security clearance, a symbolic gut punch that paved the way for renewed scrutiny. The FBI’s interest reignited in earnest this August, when agents raided Bolton’s Maryland home and D.C. office, seizing documents marked “classified,” “confidential,” or “”secret”—including files on weapons of mass destruction and U.S. strategic communications plans.
What set off the alarms? I’m sure it wasn’t the usual DC gossip. Search warrants point to two flashpoints: the memoir’s pre-publication review process and a mysterious foreign hack of Bolton’s AOL email account.
The FBI has interviewed Bolton eight times since 2020, and while specifics on the hack remain redacted, insiders suggest it exposed vulnerabilities in how ex-officials handle post-government secrets. Bolton’s legal team, led by veteran attorney Abbe Lowell, fired back immediately, insisting their client “handled records appropriately” and that the book contained no classified material. “This is a politically motivated witch hunt, plain and simple,” Lowell said in a statement, vowing a vigorous defense.
The swamp is deep, and there are a lot more creatures down there!
- Bolton’s indictments
- FBI Director James Comey – hit with counts of making false statements and obstructing Congress
- New York Attorney General Letitia James, accused of bank fraud for allegedly fudging a home loan application to snag better rates.
…and more coming!
Remember the irony? Trump faced his own classified documents indictment in 2023 for retaining materials at Mar-a-Lago, charges that a judge he appointed dismissed in 2024.
“From war hawk to jailbird—MAGA justice served hot.” “This isn’t draining the swamp; it’s flooding it with vengeance,” warned Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Whether this heralds a true swamp draining or just another chapter in endless partisan trench warfare, the message from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is unmistakable: cross the boss at your peril.
Final Word: The swamp is draining, but in Washington, the alligators always fight back.
