Bombshell? More like a dud.
Too bad for Bolton he just couldnt enjoy a retirement. Had to try to stick it to Trump. There are worse out there in Deep State land that need prosecuting, but Bolton gets what he deserves

Never Trumper’s don’t get charged, period

“Never Trumper’s don’t get charged, period”
