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?”

Yes, they never have to explain what they say or back it up with proof. They know the leftist echo chamber will pick it up and, if it is useful to their insurrection and revolution, they will run with it, repeating it over and over and over. Facts, veracity, proof all be damned.

Bolton is still mad because Trump would not let him start any more wars.

My advice to Mr. Bolton: Download the ‘Risk’ board game on your computer or tablet. Then you can start as many wars as you want without bothering the rest of us.

Good, let the traitors remove themselves. Maybe they’ll do it preemptively before Trump is even sworn in.

Bolton is the President of the club he doesn’t want Trump inside. He will say or do anything to preserve his club and its way of life for the Beltway bureaucrats.

Don’t fret Johnny boy, if your having a “constitutional crisis “ you might want to consider X-lax.

Just get off the stage. Your time has expired!

I was apprehensive about Trump when he was elected, but I was impressed that every Executive Order was Constitutional (except one).

Biden, on the other hand, violates the Constitution and the laws of this nation without batting an eye.

Who is he going to nominate to be attorney general

That is actually a valid point. In the past he has appointed people like John Bolton to important positions.

Like we aren’t already in a Constitutional crisis. Open borders is the end of the nation.

Or, one could say: "Biden"...'s handlers, devoid of American heritage ("57 states", anyone? ... "Corpse-men", anyone?)...", on the other hand, violate the Constitution and the laws of this nation without batting an eye."
They are clueless in the extreme about how lacking in American heritage they are.
