Trump was attacked his entire four years in office !
The folks on Bannon pointed this out .... Sessions first (did not have the mental capacity for that job - might have been ok in another position) and good ‘ol Bill Barr. Barr was called some “choice” names, including ‘traitor’.
They also pointed out that the DemonRats don’t pussyfoot around - they get in and BAMM, right after Rudy and any others associated with Trump can likely expect early morning knocks on the door as well.
