John Bolton's Book and Classified Information

• 💡 Mark Levin details the case of John Bolton's book, which allegedly contained classified information.

Judicial Review and Findings

• ⚠️ The judge concluded that Bolton gambled with national security and exposed himself to civil and potentially criminal liability.
• 🚫 Despite the judge's findings, the injunction to stop the book's publication was denied.

DOJ Investigation and Dismissal

• 🔍 The Department of Justice under the Trump administration launched a criminal probe into Bolton's actions, including setting up a grand jury under the Espionage Act.
• 📉 However, in June 2021, the Biden administration's Department of Justice filed a stipulation of dismissal, ending the investigation without explanation.

Comparison to Trump Document Case

• 🗣️ He asserts that presidents have the constitutional authority to classify or declassify information at will.
• 🎯 The dismissal of the Bolton investigation is presented as a political move to benefit Joe Biden, especially as the book was published close to the election.
