John Bolton CONFESSES in court he stole government secrets
in stunning reversal… and begs for no jail time
…He pleaded guilty on Friday to a single charge of retaining classified information - a significant update in his criminal case, and one that may help him avoid a lengthy jail sentence.
Under the terms of the deal, Bolton could serve up to 60 months, or 5 years, in prison in exchange for his guilty plea. He may also be required to pay a fine of up to $2.25 million and serve 100 hours of community service.
Prosecutors said Friday that Bolton 'abused his position of trust' as former White House national security adviser by sharing roughly 1,000 pages of classified information in the form of 'diaries' with his wife and daughter.
Bolton then retained the documents related to national defense at his home in Montgomery County, Maryland, after leaving the White House.
Asked if agreed with that version of events, Bolton asked to have a moment with his counsel before responding: 'Yes, your honor, the summary is accurate.'
Bolton pleaded guilty to Count 12 of his federal criminal indictment, which accused him of retaining national intelligence information.
The plea deal is a significant reduction from the maximum penalty he could have faced if his case went to trial. Bolton was indicted last fall on 18 counts and, if convicted, could have faced decades behind bars.
He is accused of sending more than 1,000 'diary-like' entries to his wife and daughter during a period between 2018 and 2019, including classified information and information from intelligence briefings and meetings with foreign officials. …

John Bolton, a very dumb, unbalanced, and unskilled former representative of the United States of America, just pleads guilty! He is a terrible person, a lunatic who only wanted to start trouble and wars, and who was a needless pusher of death and destruction wherever he went. Hopefully, he will be dealt with harshly!
