Bolton says he’s concerned a second Trump presidency would bring ‘constitutional crisis’

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?”

You people are the ones causing a constitutional crisis. The People are rejecting fascism.

As many times as Bolton has stabbed PDJT in the back, you’re still calling him a ‘Trump guy?’

Dittoes. I can’t see how a Trump Constitutional Crisis could be any worse than the one that we had on J6.

We would be better off without most of these warming seats at the DoJ and the Pentagon and working on behalf of the DNC.

Bolton defines “Constitutional Crisis” as when he’s not hired to be a foreign policy advisor!

Hey the facts are that “Democrats are willing to win at all costs.”

They will try to destroy Trump financially or worse.

And the circus that is Congress and the so called “justice” system may just succeed.

Then what? Probably then a “constitutional crisis.”

Bolton and the bitches on the “View” need to demonstrate seppuku to show their dedication to the Democratic party.

Agreed. A lot of rules and laws have been broken and civil liberties trampled recently... all to get Trump.
