21. In my opinion the issue isn't Bolton.

The issue is the weaponization of justice.

If a murderer is charged with a robbery that they did not commit, it is an injustice. They should be charged with murder.

I don't agree with Bolton on almost anything but seeing him targeted for who he is rather than what he has done makes me even more worried about the state of justice in the US.
