Serious mixed feelings here. On the one hand, fuck John Bolton. This is barely the start of what he deserves. On the other hand, the regime keeps ripping away at the gossamer tissue of what remains of the rule of law.

Pretty sure they picked John Bolton as a starting point because liberals and democrats are less likely to protest. This is a test to normalize politically motivated raids and to move the goalposts.
