In a stunning turn of events that has electrified Washington, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, the hawkish architect of some of Donald Trump’s most aggressive foreign policies, was indicted on October 16, 2025, by a federal grand jury in Maryland.
It’s surreal to see John Bolton facing Espionage Act charges. The real story isn’t just what he did but what it says about how politics now shapes justice. If the allegations are true, Bolton violated the rules he once enforced, but the timing makes it hard to see this as anything other than payback. Each administration prosecutes its enemies, and every case becomes another partisan battle. The Espionage Act was meant to protect national security, not to serve as a political weapon. At this point, the question isn’t whether Bolton goes to prison but whether Americans can still believe the law applies equally to everyone.

Politics really is just an endless stage play.....
Whether it’s John Bolton or anyone else, they all end up as pawns moved around by those in power.
Sometimes I wonder if “justice” is just another prop in the script.
