But the question here is, where is the line for people who are writing books

if they're john bolton did go through the publication review process here now uh now there's allegations that he ignored some of the suggestions from people about what to leave out of the book but uh there's a lawyer named mark zade who represents a lot of people who write books and what he was saying last night is that if you're going to prosecute john bolton you got to prosecute a lot of other people who wrote books and had potentially classified information uh on their email systems which was then left out of the books but which was actually sensitive

And the other thing is Abby Lowell, John Bolton's lawyer, is saying here that this was not classified.

These were this was information that he kept for diaries.

And he said that the FBI has known about this for a long time.

And that's true.

This arose in the Biden administration.

And what seems to be the case is that they did not know the extent of what was in at least one of his email accounts until they discovered that Iran, they discovered the material that Iran had hacked through a U.S.

intelligence penetration of Iran.

That's according to my reporting.

And that's one of the reasons this case didn't go forward in the Biden administration is because officials were concerned about revealing that penetration.

The Trump administration has made a different calculation.

They're OK with revealing it.

They've revealed it now to the Iranians.

So whatever penetration they had is now shut down.

That's how badly they wanted to prosecute John Bolton.

And that's where you can ask questions about whether this case should have gone forward, guys.

Great to be with you.

It sounds very familiar.

And we've been hearing rumors about this in reports.
