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

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?”

John Bolton never saw a war he did not like. Bolton and the NeoCons are the great danger, not Trump. Of that group of war mongers Victoria Nuland is #1 and Bolton a close #2.

One should not go to war unless there is a clear and present danger. Sending young soldiers into battle to bleed and die is a grave decision. If that decision is made war must be prosecuted with extreme violence and ferocity. If you are not willing to kill your enemy and all that stand with him, surrender for he has already defeated you.
