The FBI raided the home of John Bolton, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, on Friday morning in connection with an investigation into the mishandling of classified documents – and one Trump ally who underwent a similar raid is now gleefully rubbing it in.
“Good morning, John Bolton,” wrote Roger Stone, Trump’s longest serving political advisor, on X Friday. "How does it feel to have your home rated at 6 o'clock in the morning?”
A longtime political consultant, Stone has worked for the campaigns of Republican presidents since Richard Nixon’s, and helped kick off Trump’s initial presidential run in 2015.
In 2019, however, Stone’s home was raided by the FBI in connection with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections, and he was ultimately arrested and later indicted on charges of perjury, witness tampering and obstruction. Stone was set to serve 40 months in prison, though his sentence was commuted by Trump, who later pardoned him.
Stone has maintained his innocence, and went on Friday to draw comparisons between himself in Bolton, both of whom had their homes raided by the FBI in the early hours of a Friday morning.
“The man on the left had his home rated at 6 a.m. because he did something wrong,” Bolton wrote in an online post, which included a photo of Bolton on the left and himself on the right. “The man on the right had his home raided at 6 a.m. because he didn't. Karma is b----.”
Good morning. John Bolton. How does it feel to have your home raided at 6 o'clock in the morning?
