In the tumultuous world of politics, justice can be one entertaining spectacle. At an early hour when most people are just hitting snooze on their alarm clocks, former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s day got quite a shake-up. The FBI decided to return the favor to Bolton as part of a high-profile investigation centered around classified documents. Adding a twist of irony, his situation mirrors those early morning raids on Trump and his allies that had previously grabbed headlines.
The FBI’s orchestrated move echoes the actions taken against Trump associates like Roger Stone. When Stone found himself staring down the barrel of an FBI raid, news crews were conveniently outside, capturing every second. This time, though, it wasn’t Stone but Bolton who was the star of a live political drama. The former security official, known for his clashes with Trump, didn’t get center stage by choice; onlookers couldn’t help but draw parallels to the raids during the Trump administration.
Spearheaded as part of the ongoing efforts to enforce the law, this operation had the air of poetic justice for some. The phrase “No one is above the law” flashed across digital screens, a statement as loaded as it gets, particularly for those who’ve witnessed Bolton’s relentless critique of his former boss.
Former President Trump, in vintage fashion, likely found the whole spectacle a classic comeback scene. After all, Bolton has been far from a cheerleader for Trump’s policies. The irony wasn’t lost on those involved—alluding to the dramatic raids known to Trump and his circle. It was almost as if Trump’s camp orchestrated a gut-punch with a touch of Trump-brand shock value.
As the pieces of the investigation fall into place, only imaginations can chart the next chapter in Bolton’s saga. While John Bolton may not have donned the orange jumpsuit just yet, the unfolding story has certainly kept the political theater lively. Any time the deep state gets a taste of its own medicine, there will be a crowd ready with popcorn in hand, entertained by the show of accountability, and eager to see what happens when the tables turn.
