re: Neocon Warhawk John Bolton's Home Raided in FBI NatSec Probe

Are you going to continue to refuse to make actual predictions, once again?

Norm Eisen on MSNBC: The Bolton Raid Crossed a Line

quote:

---

The Bolton search, however, crosses yet another red line. Having FBI agents bang on your door early in the morning, enter your home and seize your property is terrifying. It is an obvious act of intimidation, and another example of this administration putting the president and his allies above the law while weaponizing the law against his perceived enemies.

The same legal apparatus can be wielded against anyone: judges who conclude his policies are unconstitutional; journalists who expose political corruption; members of Congress who vote against his legislation; even ordinary citizens who may have written a letter or a post on social media that he objects to.

We have seen these tactics throughout history: from the Stasi police in East Germany and the DINA in Augusto Pinochet’s Chile and many other darker examples to current regimes in Russia, China and Iran. In many of those countries, there was a time when people never thought they would be subject to that kind of oppression, or the deterioration that followed. They believed it could never happen there. We know what happened next. And we must all be clear-eyed about the danger confronting us, whether you currently disagree with the president or not. After all, there was a time when John Bolton would not have dreamed that FBI agents would be entering his home one August morning. Friday’s search was a message not just to Bolton, but to all of Trump’s adversaries and indeed to every American paying attention.

That first quoted paragraph is rich, however. Ask Peter Navarro or Roger Stone about having the Feds at your doorstep before dawn. Something tells me that Norm Eisen was totally fine with those raids. Ditto for when Giuliani's apartment was sacked by the FBI during the illegitimate Biden-Harris regime.
