JD Vance busted by ex-Trump official over 'very, very unusual' comments after FBI raid

Hours after FBI Director gave the go-ahead to his agents to raid the home and office of John Bolton, Vice President J.D. Vance was well prepared and ready to discuss it with NBC’s Kristin Welker during an extensive interview to be released in full on Sunday.

During an interview on Saturday on MSNBC, one former official from Donald Trump’s first term questioned the extent of VP’s involvement in a matter that should be outside his purview.

Speaking with Welker, Vance stated, “We are investigating Ambassador Bolton, but if they ultimately bring a case, it will be because they determine that he has broken the law. We’re going to be careful about that. We’re going to be deliberate about that, because we don’t think that we should throw people — even if they disagree with us politically, maybe especially if they disagree with us politically — you shouldn’t throw people willy-nilly in prison. You should let the law drive these determinations, and that’s what we’re doing."

After watching a clip of the Vance interview during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” former DHS official Miles Taylor claimed Vance’s comments should set off alarms.

“This is very, very unusual for the vice president to be this read into a criminal investigation that he should be at arm's length from,” he told the hosts. “And then in the report that you all mentioned at the top of the hour, we heard that the CIA director himself might have been the one to provide the evidence to the FBI director.”

“You know, as more of these details come out, it's starting to look completely unprecedented that all of these very top senior officials that work under Donald Trump, that know he wants to get revenge against John Bolton, are personally involved in the investigation of John Bolton,” he added. “I mean, the vice president's attestation that this had nothing to do with revenge was about as believable as what we were just talking about: [what] the administration has said on the Epstein files, because it would be a truly extraordinary coincidence that they've decided. to focus their investigative powers on a man that Donald Trump has wanted investigated for years.”
