The FBI has been involved in some high-profile raids over the years. But this one was especially shocking.
And the FBI has revealed what they discovered during a raid of this ex-Trump ally.
The Deep State just got a wake-up call. On August 22, federal agents stormed the Bethesda, Maryland home and Washington, DC office of former National Security Adviser John Bolton, hauling off evidence that could put the 76-year-old war hawk behind bars for over twenty years.
Court records reveal the feds seized three computers, two iPhones, and piles of documents that paint a picture of Bolton’s actions. Among the haul were two USB drives, a hard drive, four boxes of “printed daily activities,” “typed documents in folders labeled ‘Trump I – IV,’” and a white binder that’s label says, “statements and reflections to allied strikes.”
According to what FBI leaders told the New York Post, investigation centers on allegations that Bolton emailed classified files to family members through a private server, putting America’s safety at risk. The warrant cites possible violations of the Espionage Act of 1917, which bans unauthorized possession or removal of national defense information, along with another law against hoarding classified files. If convicted on all counts, Bolton could face up to 25 years in prison.
What’s even more infuriating is how this case was buried under the Biden administration. The probe sat dormant, gathering dust while Bolton, a relentless Trump critic, walked free. It wasn’t until Kash Patel, Trump’s no-nonsense FBI Director, took charge in February that the investigation roared back to life. Just a month into his tenure, Patel learned of the case and didn’t hesitate to act, per what FBI officials said to the New York Post.
A senior FBI official didn’t hold back, telling the outlet, “The [Biden administration] had probable cause to know that he had taken material that was detrimental to the national security of the United States, and they made no effort to retrieve it.”
The official went further, alleging, “That was a friendly administration to [Bolton]. They kept bashing [Trump] the entire time for ‘weaponizing law enforcement,’ and they—by politically stopping a righteous investigation—are the ones who weaponized law enforcement.” The hypocrisy is blatant. While Biden’s team shielded Bolton, they smeared Trump, all while national security secrets were potentially floating around on a private server.
Bolton, meanwhile, has slunk back to his home, avoiding arrest or charges for now. But he’s not staying quiet. The career diplomat has been firing off attacks on X, slamming Trump’s foreign policy.
Just this week, he posted, “The White House has set U.S.-India relations back decades, pushing Modi closer to Russia and China. Beijing has cast itself as an alternative to the U.S. and Donald Trump.”
This raid is bigger than one man. It’s a direct challenge to the entrenched elites who’ve long operated with impunity. The documents labeled “Trump I – IV” suggest Bolton was meticulously cataloging his time in the administration, possibly to weaponize that information against the president he served. This is the Deep State playbook: hoard secrets, leak selectively, and attack patriots who dare to challenge their power.
Under Trump’s leadership, the Justice Department is finally fighting back. By reopening this investigation, they’re sending a clear message: no one is above the law, not even a career insider like Bolton. The seized computers, phones, and documents are now in the hands of investigators who won’t let politics dictate justice. If Bolton thought he could skate by, he’s in for a reality check.
The Biden administration’s failure to pursue Bolton raises serious questions about political favoritism. Why was a man accused of mishandling national security files allowed to walk free? Was it because he was a darling of the establishment, always ready to trash Trump on cable news? The inaction reeks of a two-tiered justice system—one that protects its friends and punishes its enemies.
This raid also exposes the stark contrast between Trump’s America First vision and the globalist failures of bureaucrats like Bolton. While Trump works to strengthen alliances and prioritize American interests, Bolton’s X posts reveal a man obsessed with criticizing the policies that are restoring America’s strength. His claim that Trump is pushing India toward Russia and China ignores the president’s diplomatic wins, like historic trade deals and standing firm against globalist pressures.
The American people are fed up with elites who put their own power above the nation’s security. Bolton’s alleged actions—emailing sensitive files to family members, hoarding classified documents—show a blatant disregard for the country he swore to serve. If proven true, these aren’t just mistakes; they’re betrayals that demand justice.
As this investigation unfolds, expect more revelations about the Deep State’s inner workings. The documents labeled “Trump I – IV” and the binder about “allied strikes” could hold clues to Bolton’s true motives. Was he planning a smear campaign against Trump? Or worse, was he sharing secrets with those who don’t have America’s best interests at heart? The answers are in the FBI’s hands now.
For too long, the establishment has protected its own while ordinary Americans pay the price. This raid on Bolton’s home and office is a step toward justice, a sign that Trump’s administration is serious about draining the swamp. With patriots like Kash Patel leading the charge, the Deep State’s days of unchecked power are numbered.
The fight for America’s future is on, and this raid proves that Trump’s Justice Department isn’t backing down. Bolton may still be tweeting his attacks, but the noose is tightening.
The American people deserve a government that puts them first—not one that shields traitors while pointing fingers at patriots.
