Trump turns on Right Wing Hawk John Bolton as part of wider fascist crackdown and abuse of political power

Wow, that escalated quickly…

FBI raids home of John Bolton, Trump’s ex-national security adviser

Search reportedly part of investigation into classified documents as FBI director warns ‘no one is above law’

…I love how Trump’s stooge, Kash Patel, claims, ‘no one is above the law’, except for Trump and his association with Epstein of course!

let me be clear, I’m no fan of fucking John Bolton, he is a right wing Ultra Hawk who has never met a bombing he didn’t like, but his principled stand against Trump means that even he has become a target of an increasingly fascist orange regime.

This escalation of prosecuting an enemies list is just another example of Trump’s rising fascism:

• National Guard troops patrolling Washington, D.C., will now carry weapons under orders from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Go deeper.
• Chicago and New York City are President Trump’s next targets for federal crime crackdowns, following Washington. “We’re going to make our cities very, very safe,” he told reportersat the White House this afternoon.
• President Trump threatened to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook after housing regulator Bill Pulte doubled down on his attacks against her, Axios’ Courtenay Brown reports. Go deeper.
• The Texas House passed a new congressional map last night that’ll likely give Republicans five more seats in Congress, Axios Austin’s Asher Price writes
• Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has used his 3 million followers on X to reinvent the sleepy mortgage regulator as a platform for political combat.
  • Pulte has elevated allegations of mortgage fraud against two of Trump’s top antagonists, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). Both are now under criminal investigation.
  • Pulte also has led the campaign to oust Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell, calling for him to resign — or be fired — over cost overruns in the Fed’s $2.5 billion headquarters renovation.
  • Yesterday, Pulte escalated Trump’s war on the central bank by accusing Fed governor Lisa Cook of mortgage fraud. Trump responded by calling for Cook to resign. Cook said she has “no intention of being bullied to step down.”
• Martin, a conservative activist who defended Jan. 6 rioters, was named the Justice Department’s weaponization czar after his nomination to be U.S. attorney for D.C. collapsed in the Senate.
  • In his brief time as acting U.S. attorney, Martin demoted prosecutors who had worked on Jan. 6 cases, vowed to pursue legal action against critics of Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative, and attempted to launch an investigation into Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
  • Now leading the DOJ’s probe of James, Martin stunned ethics experts by showing up outside the New York attorney general’s Brooklyn home in a trench coat and posing for tabloid photos.
• Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, sent shockwaves through the intel community by accusing former Obama officials of a “treasonous conspiracy” stemming from the 2016 Russia probe. Her allegations have electrified Trump’s base.
  • Gabbard went further this week, revoking the security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials she claimed had manipulated or leaked classified intelligence.
  • Then yesterday, she approved plans to slash ODNI’s staff by 40%.

I told you Trump was an Orange Fascist and every passing week where he abuses power only confirms that.
