Legal experts say this case — unlike, for example, the attempted prosecutions of Comey — is on solid legal ground. Trump also was charged with obstruction of justice. Bolton did not do that.

Was it willful? - good, now do the other guy. If it wasn't, then the court should sort it... and then do the other guy. 

John Bolton reportedly will plead guilty to one felony count of retention of classified information. Under plea deal, he would pay $2.25 million. For one count, he would be subject to imprisonment up to 60 months (anywhere from zero to 60).

Well, she wouldn't make something like that up, and she has been keeping a pretty low profile lately.  Still, she was probably in bad graces the her boss already.  Remember last June she testified to Congress that U.S. intelligence agencies assessed that Iran was not actively building a weapon and that the Supreme Leader had not authorized it.  Trump immediately dismissed it.

Tulsi Gabbard resigns as director of national intelligence

Apparently slightly earlier:
A task force launched by U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard to "end weaponization" has fallen apart after "drama" triggered by a memo it circulated that spread false claims — made by a January 6 rioter — against a CIA employee and a former Capitol Police officer.

JUDGES DISQUALIFY LITTLE MILTON IN LAST MINUTE RUMPUS

THE SOCIETY FOR LITERARY ADVANCEMENT AND GESTATION (SLAG), announced their decition late last night to disqualify eight year old prize winner Gerald (Little Milton) Bostock following the hundreds of protests and threaths received after the reading of his epic poem “Thick as a Brick” on BBC Television last Monday night.

Flashback to last week's presentation dinner held in Gerald's honour by the Commitee of the St. Cleve District Art and Literary Society at the Parrit Rooms. Left to Right: Lord Clive Polly Parrit. Mr. and Mrs. Bostock, Gerald Bostock, Lady Parrit, Julia, Gerald's chum with whom he writes poems.

A hastily reconvened panel of Judges accepted the decision by four leading child psychiatrists that the boy's mind was seriously unbalanced and that his work was a product of an “extremely unwholesome attitude towards life, his God and Country”. Bostock was recommended for psychiatric treatment following examination “without delay”. The first prize will now be presented to runner up Mary Whiteyard (aged 12) for her essay on Christian ethics entitled, “He died to save the little Children”.

Ah, in that case I hope it is something worse. He deserves a challenging exit.

3 to 1 he's in a box by the end of the week.

Point being: if you're in a facility with a DNR, there are several ways it could go. According to my friend, pneumonia's the easiest exit.

Pneumonia mortality depends heavily on age, health status, and care setting. While most people recover, 1 in 20 (5%) hospitalized with pneumococcal pneumonia die. Outpatient mortality is generally less than 1%, but rises to 5–15% for hospital admissions and 20–50% for intensive care (ICU) patients. Death rates sharply increase for adults over 65 or with comorbidities.


These fuckers get better healthcare than most of us have access to, and they do it all on our dime while denying it to everyone else. He'll probably survive, but deserves whatever he has to muddle through.
