Trump reportedly pointed finger at John Bolton before FBI raid as conservative media sounds alarm

14. You can...but...

..mishandling classified documents isn't that unusual. Unfortunately. And if they've got a warrant, this was certainly an option open to DoJ. Extreme perhaps, but a legal option. If Bolton made himself vulnerable in that manner, he had to know they'd take advantage of it.

Now, when they start arresting people simply for their rhetoric...different story entirely. So far it's just been some mean tweets and really laughable threats. If they do, most of the country will go ape shit. They no that. And that's why I keep screaming at them, calling their bluff on Newsom, Pritzker, etc. Just fucking do it and see what happens!!

They won't. Not yet perhaps. Maybe never. They don't think the country is ready for that. I don't think the country will ever be ready for that. We're not Belarus, Myanmar, Russia or Weimar Germany. Collectively, we've never known totalitarianism. Even in our mother country, it's been centuries. Our founders initially flipped out about some relatively minor taxes and regs that the British Parliament wasn't 100% wrong about. But it escalated out of control from there. I just don't think toleration of full on totalitarianism is in our DNA but we'll see.
