S2 Ep128: John Bolton's Own Book Might Destroy Him

from The Illegal News with Sarah Longwell · host The Bulwark

George Conway explains to Sarah Longwell how the indictment of John Bolton fits into Donald Trump’s broader pattern of targeting critics — but also why Bolton’s case may have more substance than Trump’s other so-called “revenge prosecutions.” They discuss what makes the Bolton charges different, the double standard around classified information, and how Trump’s effort to label peaceful protests as “rebellion” reveals his authoritarian instincts.
