I think both points can be true:
- John Bolton broke the law and mishandled classified docs
- Trump’s weaponized DOJ went after Bolton in the first place because the president told it to
Trump effectively admitted the latter point today, saying he “helped” with the case.

The president, unprompted, boasted that he “helped” with the case against his former national security advisor, “from the standpoint of encouragement.”
