Trump's Revenge Plot Continues With Fresh Indictment Coming

Trump’s one-time national security adviser is reportedly in the president’s crosshairs.

President Donald Trump’s plan to wreak vengeance on his enemies has ramped up with the news that his onetime ally-turned-critic, John Bolton, is about to be indicted.

According to federal officials speaking to MSNBC, the U.S. Attorney in Maryland could federally indict Bolton as early as next week on charges of breaching national security.

If so, Bolton would become the third Trump critic to have criminal charges brought against them in recent weeks, following the indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Bolton served as Trump’s national security adviser during his first term but fell out of favor and was fired by the president.

A 34 time convicted felon breached national security and is still downing Big Macs in the White House, but Bolton is being indicted?. Am I living in some kind of alternate reality?
By now, any relatively sane person should have come to terms with the lunacy that’s destroying our democracy, but MAGAs continue to follow him like lambs going to slaughter.
I am dumbfounded by what’s happening.
