Constitutional damage moderate (17.52): Rule of law driver scores 4 (judicial action against former official, proper mechanism) with election impact 2 (Bolton connected to Trump orbit, 2024 relevance). Corruption scores 2 (classified handling). Precedent multiplier 1.1 for high-level official prosecution. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for judicial action. However, distraction score dominates at 42.68. Layer 1: High outrage (7) given Bolton-Trump history and classified docs echo, strong media friendliness (8) with 19 syndicated articles suggesting coordinated release. Layer 2: Massive mismatch (8) - Bolton is Trump critic who testified against him, creating ironic reversal. Timing (7) during Trump's own classified docs legal issues. Narrative pivot (9) - shifts from 'Trump uniquely reckless' to 'everyone does it' frame. Pattern match (9) - perfect symmetry with Trump prosecution. Intentionality 11/15: Selective prosecution pattern evident (Bolton one of many with potential violations), political timing suspicious, narrative symmetry too convenient, Bolton-Trump antagonism makes this politically useful to multiple actors. Delta: -25.16 strongly negative indicates List B classification.
