Is Bolton Next?

NBC's Rory O'Neill reports that an indictment could come down on Trump's former National Security Advisor

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Rory O'Neil joining me on the Legacy Retirement Group dot
com phone line and VC News Radio. We probably do
day two of Reporter's Choice. Rory with we could talk
about day fifteen of the government shutdown, or arguably the
more interesting story. The last couple of weeks, we've seen
a bunch of indictments New York Attorney General Letitia James,

(00:21):
James Comey, and now there's discussions about maybe Trump's former
national security advisor, John Bolton could be prosecuted.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, right, and these are all people who were named
in that message that Trump apparently was supposed to be
sending us a private note to Pam Bondy but instead
US Attorney General, but instead he posted it on truth
social And now it looks like the evidence is coming
together to bring for the Justice Department to indict John Bolton.

(00:49):
Now the charges are unclear. There is reporting from CNN
that this may be focused on this idea that Bolton
during meetings would take notes on his computer and then
send those notes to himself via email. Now he would
use his Aol account to send those send or receive
those those little notes of his to himself, and that

(01:10):
would be your violation right there.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
That's yeah, that's a no no, right. I mean, if
he's going to from what you would think would be
a private, secure government server to an AOL account, I
would imagine that would be the issue, right.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
And then but we don't know what was in the
emails exactly the two in the from you know, was
he using the AOL to yeah? Was it to himself messaged?
Was a government computer ever involved? Ye? That's sort of
the part that we haven't gotten the details on. And again,
what was contained in those messages? Was it classified top secret?
You know, where does it fall on the scale? And

(01:45):
then is this something that you would normally bring criminal
charges on? Is another question? Disciplined on him for he
could get fired for. But is this something that gets
you a criminal trial?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Where do we stand with this? Is there any indication
of what might happen?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
And when? Well, it looks like the indictment could be
handed up sometime this week, maybe today. So I think
that's why this story has been floating around and getting
increased attention this week. Remember the raid on Bolton's home
and offices, yeah, a month ago, so they already got
a lot of that information and at the time they
were aware of a foreign country hacking into that AOL account,

(02:22):
so that was also one of the factors here. I
don't know what kind of access they got, and again
we're looking forward to seeing the indictment and some of
the specific allegations that are contained in
