Trump's Justice Swings for Bolton's Head [View all]

Guest article by Michael Cohen.

Here we go again. My sources tell me that come Tuesday, John Bolton—yes, that John Bolton, the walrus-mustached hawk who once strutted through the West Wing like he owned the Situation Room—is next up in the batter’s box. And if you’ve been keeping score—and I hope you have—that makes me three for three in calling Trump’s enemies list. First it was James Comey. Then Letitia James. Now, it will be Bolton’s turn under the blinding glare of the national spotlight.

You can feel the pattern now; it’s not coincidence, it’s choreography. Every swing is deliberate. Every “independent” Justice Department press release reads like campaign literature wrapped in legalese. Trump has turned prosecution into performance art. And just like any good showman, he saves the biggest acts for prime time.

But here’s what makes the Bolton case different. Unlike Tish James, who made the mistake of tangling with Trump’s business empire, or James Comey, who crossed the man personally, Bolton’s “crime” runs deeper—it’s ideological. This is about loyalty, betrayal, and the heresy of disobedience within Trump’s inner sanctum.

Bolton didn’t just defy Trump; he humiliated him. He publicly called him weak on Russia, reckless on North Korea, and clueless about the Middle East. He wrote it all down in The Room Where It Happened, and for that sin, Trump vowed revenge. I remember the Fox News interview from 2020—Trump saying Bolton “should be in jail” for releasing classified information. At the time, it sounded like another unhinged rant. Now it reads like a prophecy to be fulfilled.
