Trump's Justice Swings for Bolton's Head

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.

A normally self-aware person would be cognizant that everything I ever say or do, in fact, the very essence of my being, is worthy of little more.

4. Yes he and his crime syndicate family, and pals, would hang their heads in shame every minute

of every day.

Instead the entire lot of them strut around like they are anointed from on high.
And steal, grift, lie, destroy as much as possible every minute of every day.

They are much more than narcissists, they are brutal psychopaths.

In a decent law abiding society they would all be in prison for life.

deciding to save the goods for his book. His testimony might have turned the tide for the GOP and ultimately save the country from this nightmare. Hope his book is in a dollar store bin.
