WikiLeaks attackiert Bolton: „Er wollte Assange hinrichten lassen – jetzt trifft ihn dasselbe Gesetz“

BERLINER ZEITUNG: Nach seiner Anklage wegen des Spionagegesetzes gerät John Bolton selbst ins Visier: WikiLeaks erinnert daran, dass er einst harte Strafen für Julian Assange und Edward Snowden forderte.

Die Enthüllungsplattform WikiLeaks greift den früheren Sicherheitsberater von Donald Trump nach dessen Anklage wegen Geheimnisverrats frontal an. John Bolton habe einst harte Strafen für Whistleblower wie Julian Assange, Edward Snowden und Chelsea Manning gefordert. Kurz nach der Anklage gegen den 76-Jährigen veröffentlichte WikiLeaks auf X einen Beitrag, in dem es hieß: „John Bolton forderte die Hinrichtung von Assange, Snowden und Manning nach dem Spionagegesetz, weil sie der Öffentlichkeit wahre Informationen zugänglich machten. Jetzt steht er selbst wegen desselben Gesetzes vor Gericht.“ Zusammengeschnittene Aufnahmen aus der Vergangenheit sollen die Vorwürfe belegen.

Der Post wurde in kurzer Zeit tausendfach geteilt. Für viele Beobachter steht er sinnbildlich für den politischen und moralischen Widerspruch in Boltons Karriere: Der frühere Hardliner, der Whistleblower einst als Staatsfeinde betrachtete, sieht sich nun selbst wegen des Umgangs mit Verschlusssachen strafrechtlich verfolgt. » | Alexander Schmalz | Samstag, 18.

A government source confirmed the raid to the Guardian, but did not disclose further details.

The FBI director, Kash Patel, posted a cryptic message on X on Friday morning, saying: “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission.”

JD Vance, the US vice-president, reposted Patel’s message, as did Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI. Bongino added: “Public corruption will not be tolerated.”

John Bolton's Warning to Allies on How to Survive the Trump Rollercoaster

Mar 13, 2025 | In this exclusive Kyiv Post interview, John Bolton pulls no punches as he dissects the enigmatic foreign policy approach of U.S. President Donald Trump, unraveling misconceptions held by many observers worldwide. Drawing upon his extensive experience as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under George W. Bush and later as Trump’s own National Security Adviser, Bolton provides a rare insider’s perspective into managing the turbulent and unpredictable tendencies of a president known for changing his stance multiple times within a single day. He offers pointed guidance on what Ukraine, Europe, Canada, and the broader NATO alliance must do to successfully navigate Trump’s shifting political landscape.

With remarkable candor, Bolton reveals a troubling yet essential truth: the U.S. president is particularly susceptible to personal flattery—a weakness expertly leveraged by Russia, yet often underestimated by America's allies. Bolton cites the tense Oval Office exchange between President Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky not merely as an example of diplomatic friction, but as a vivid illustration of Trump’s volatile temperament and his deep-seated personal animosity toward the Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief. This illuminating conversation between Ambassador Bolton and Kyiv Post's Jason Smart serves as both a cautionary tale and a strategic roadmap for nations seeking to effectively engage a leader whose personal impulses frequently override conventional diplomacy.
