John Bolton

I just know "liberals" will now sympathize with him.

From Counterpunch.com:

On Thursday, John Bolton was indicted for sharing classified documents. Here’s what he said 15 years ago about Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning for doing the same:

Q. What do you think of Bradley Manning?

Bolton: I think he committed treason. I think he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Q. What does that mean?

Bolton: Well, treason is the only crime defined by our Constitution. It says that treason consists only of levying war against the United States or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. And he gave our enemies a lot of aid and comfort.

Q. So what should happen to him?

Bolton: He should be prosecuted and if he’s found guilty he should be punished to the fullest extent possible.

Q. And what is that?

Bolton: Death.

Q. You think he should be killed?

Bolton: Yes.

 

As always, I was disappointed Bolton turned himself in instead of making a run for it. Why don't these people ever make a run for it?
