Former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who served in the Trump Administration, said on Tuesday that he fears a second Trump term would bring “constitutional crisis” but that he still has faith in the strength and integrity of the country’s institutions.
“I think it’s almost certain that the top level of the second Trump term will be the bottom level on January 20, 2021. And then it will go downhill from there. But the consequence doesn’t mean that the government will then be under his control,” he said in an interview on CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper.
“One of the greatest dangers that a second Trump term brings would be constitutional crisis: Who is he going to nominate to be attorney general and [what happens] when the Attorney General gives an order from Trump” to career people at the Department of Justice and “they say no, and they resign, and the entire Department of Justice begins to resign? What happens when he gives illegal orders to the career military, and they start to resign?”

Indeed. Based on just the last few years, there are at least a couple dozen agencies I’d like to see go this way.
The good thing is we have a track record with Trump—we can guess what he will do and deep staters like Warmonger Bolton will not be able to keep his high paid gigs. BUT I do not think that will happen—they will get rid of Trump before he ever gets close to power. Then we shall see real crisis. Deep state people think they have it all figured out—but they do not know the depth of the hate within the American People towards them and the ruling powerbrokers.
“ when the Attorney General gives an order from Trump” to career people at the Department of Justice and “they say no, and they resign, and the entire Department of Justice begins to resign?”
I’m not seeing a down side here.
L
War pig go funk yo’self.
Because stolen elections aren’t a Constitutional Crisis?
Bolton doesn’t actually say anything.
Because he got close to Trump, he has been stamped certified prime deep state sign wearer. The walrus has nothing to do with the propagand hung around his neck.
It’s a machine and there is nothing anyone can do about it unless and untill Trump gets re- re- elected.
My guess is, DOJ replacements might be a good idea!

That's called "Draining the Swamp." It's a campaign promise, and Bolton the warmonger sounds more than a little worried that Trump intends to honor that promise if elected.
Entire DOJ resigning? You mean, do Trump’s work for him? Great!
That a refusal to invoke the war powers act to fight a war declared by the deep state creates a constitutional crisis.
Not a bad idea and I never considered it. Trump can “order them to do something untenable” and get them all to resign
Maybe he meant to say the “migrant” bridgehead is secure.
It’s a she. Bald. Jake Tapper knew she was FOS.
” [what happens] when the Attorney General gives an order from Trump” to career people at the Department of Justice and “they say no, and they resign, and the entire Department of Justice begins to resign?”
He hires lawyers that will do as they’re told.
Why not fire all of them at the beginning of 2025? That’s what clinton did.
So says the creepy guy with a the 1970s porn mustache. Somebody needs to check his computer for kiddie porn.

Well, he could play it like Obola did and appoint czars - avoid that whole ridiculous senate confirmation fight, especially since there are so many pub traitors in the senate, that way.
“Lawyer Czar” instead of AG. Title 28 isn’t that specific about how the FBI is organized. There are probably other federal laws which mention an FBI Director but maybe Trump’s “Lawyer Czar” could use Presidential authority to command the FBI Director.
Bolton could find a better use of his time than hurling idiotic insults at Trump. Like, combing his mustache.
