Conservative attorney George Conway told MSNBC on Saturday exactly how and why he was suddenly out front at the FBI raid on the home of former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton early Friday morning.
Conway livestreamed the FBI’s actions to social media using his cell phone Friday morning and even jokingly changed his X handle to George “Action News” Conway.
“I found out about it basically because [FBI Director] Kash Patel had been talking about it, and people were talking about it on social media,” Conway said.
“I live 10 minutes away, so I was there by 8 o’clock. But by the time I got to John Bolton’s house, there was already a crowd of media and neighbors and onlookers there. So, I just found out about it like everyone else. It’s just that I know where he lives because I live around here and I’ve driven my daughters to and from their friend’s house by driving by his house.”
The Weekend Primetime host Elise Jordan then asked Conway about the significance of what he saw the FBI removing from Bolton’s home.
“We have no idea whether there’s anything in there that is ultimately could provide evidence against John Bolton. I mean. I’m sure that there’s they’re pulling out anything that would be related to his work at the White
Conway said the sheer volume of evidence taken wasn’t necessarily a reflection of the size of the case the government may or may not have against Bolton.
“They don’t have time to read everything at the house. They’re just collecting things that fit possibly the general description, and as in what happened at Mar-a-Lago. And then they have to focus in on what materials could possibly be relevant. I doubt that John Bolton, being the careful lawyer that he is and the fastidious person that he is, had anything like what Donald Trump had in his basement.
“And then, what Donald Trump had he he then lied about, refused to give back to the government, then tried to destroy security camera footage about when he had people move the documents to hide from the FBI. I don’t think we’re going to have any evidence anywhere near like that.”
