Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton says that Attorney General Merrick Garland is a “lamb” about to be “slaughtered” by Donald Trump, at least in a political sense, following the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. “I think we’ve got to distinguish between the legal battle that’s going on and the political battle. I think the Justice Department position sounds perfectly reasonable on the legal battle. But on the, on the political battle, I think they’re being overwhelmed by Donald Trump,” Bolton said on CNN. “You know, if we were in a Colosseum with two gladiators, one of them Donald Trump, the other Merrick Garland, we’d be about to witness the slaughter of the lambs,” he added. “The Justice Department understandably wants to follow its normal procedures.

Alex Jones, a powerful right-wing media personality and former ardent Trump supporter, said Wednesday that he’s getting off the Trump Train and throwing his support behind an expected 2024 presidential bid from Florida governor and rising conservative star Ron DeSantis. On his daily show on Infoward, Jones said he “pig-headedly supported [Trump] a few years ago, even though I disagreed with his Warp Speed” – Trump’s efforts to develop a Covid-19 vaccine in 2020. Jones is staunchly anti-vaccine. “I thought we had to keep him in office because of the nightmare scenario if Hillary or Biden got in,” Jones went on. “With that said, I am supporting DeSantis.

Rudy Giuliani, who is now squarely in the crosshairs of a Georgia probe into attempts to overturn the state’s 2020 election results, is reportedly “nervous” and just wants to die a free man. Giuliani argued that he couldn’t give testimony in the Georgia probe because he’s not physically well. But Ken Frydman, his former press secretary, says that’s all hogwash. “He knows how the DOJ works. He knows how the FBI works. He knows these are meticulous investigations,” Frydman told CNN. “I know he’s nervous. He could have flown to Georgia. You know, he flies all over the world. So, that’s just a typical tactic to try to postpone the inevitable.” “He knows that he concocted this scheme. He knows he lied for his client, and he knows what we all know,” Frydman added.
