Bolton says second Trump term could bring 'constitutional crisis'
Washington Examiner ^ | September 27, 2023 | Misty Severi

Posted on 09/28/2023 10:38:15 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton warned voters on Tuesday that a second term in the White House for former President Donald Trump could trigger a constitutional crisis in the country.

Bolton said his issue with a possible second term, should his former boss win reelection in 2024, is that the second Trump presidency could bring down major United States institutions by driving major leaders to resign.

One of the greatest dangers that a second Trump term brings would be a constitutional crisis," Bolton told CNN's Jake Tapper. "Who is he going to nominate to be attorney general, and [what happens] when the attorney general gives an order from Trump, 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?”

Why John because Trump doesn’t want to get into 2-3 new wars?! Good. John Bolton is like Chris Christie. Those two never shut up even though people don’t want to hear from them!

I’d have to shut a watertight door in Bolton’s face to save a sinking America.

The REMF creep’s own words:

“wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book: “I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost.”[36] In a 2007 interview, Bolton explained his comment in the reunion book saying his decision to avoid service in Vietnam was because “by the time I was about to graduate in 1970, it was clear to me that opponents of the Vietnam War had made it certain we could not prevail, and that I had no great interest in going there to have Teddy Kennedy give it back to the people I might die to take it away from.”[35][42] In his 2007 book, Surrender Is Not an Option, Bolton described his perception of the war as a “futile struggle”, and that “dying for your country was one thing, but dying to gain territory that antiwar forces in Congress would simply return to the enemy seemed ludicrous to me. Looking back, I am not terribly proud of this calculation...”[31]: 11 “

Don’t worry REMF. I took your place. You disgusting rear echelon war mongers are beneath contempt. That is as true today as ever, with the FR overrun with mini-Boltons.

That’s easy, Rep. Matt Gatez.

Yes. Someone who follows the law is a problem for those who don’t.

They never say “why”!! So I’ll ask-—why? Why would there be a Constitutional crisis? Also, all the idiots that have not been taught “critical thinking”-—look into WHY!
Just because these liars say it it does not mean it is so,,,,

Maybe Bolton ought to look at our “DOJ” today. Labeling parents of school kids “terrorists”. Targeting Trump. Throwing political prisoners in jail.

Bolton-—you’re a moron and a liar.

...ring down major United States institutions by driving major leaders to resign.

Um... GOOD! They need to. Some of those institutions are not authorized by the US Constitution and need to go away in any case.

Looking right at you DEA, DoE (both energy and education), FAA, FCC, FDA, BATFE...

He did. But, everyone has a price... Not all of it is monetary.

Still curious where Epstein’s client list is...

There is not any other person who could bring this country back to civilization.. But Trump. Any other would carry on the deep state way and the national debt would bring us down.

We need a firing day. “you’re fired” day!!
We need every department in the government to have new management.

The Epstein list is a very powerful blackmail tool to keep people in line. That list will never be exposed but the threat is all that is needed.
