Bolton indicted (for whatever President Trump could nail him on); will turn himself in, possibly by friday--18 total charges

“(cnn) John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-adversary, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Maryland.

“he now faces 18 charges: eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.

“prosecutors wrote in the indictment that during the time he was national security adviser to Trump, Bolton shared 'more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities' with two unauthorized individuals. both of those people were related to Bolton and didn’t have the authority to access classified information, prosecutors said.

“print-outs of 'diary' entries were also found in Bolton’s home, according to the indictment.

“Bolton is expected to surrender himself, as soon as friday, to authorities at federal court in Greenbelt. his case was assigned to judge Theodore D. Chuang, who was appointed to the bench by president barack obama in 2014.”

GRA: Sounds like he'll be at the case, hmm?

Chiang: “I will not allow any evidence to be presented by the prosecution. Case crowsed.”

(GRA: That's case closed, for you non-asians.)
