Bolton will be next. He and Comey were the soft targets. [View all]

Trump is counting on the fallout from the left to be muted since they might view Bolton as an insufferable war hawk from the Bush years and blame Comey for mishandling the Clinton email investigation in 2016.

Once that's done, he'll be further emboldened.

He'll go after Tish James, and Adam Schiff after that.

I'm not just speculating. He's openly said that's where he wants to go.

After that, I'm thinking he'll think anyone on the January 6th Committee is fair game. Maybe Fauci. He'll push the "auto pen" theory as a basis to invalidate President Biden's pardon.

And who knows after that.

We're going to a dark place, and fast.
