John Bolton Rips Trump's Counterterrorism Pick: Needs A 'Full-Field' FBI Background Probe

Trump's former national security adviser said he wouldn't have Sebastian Gorka "in any U.S. government."

John Bolton offered a brutal assessment Friday of Sebastian Gorka, Donald Trump’s controversial pick as a deputy assistant to the president and the senior director for counterterrorism.
“Well, Sebastian Gorka is a con man,” said Bolton, a former national security adviser under Trump, in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

“I wouldn’t have him in any U.S. government,” Bolton said. “Fortunately, it’s not the highest position he had been mentioned for. But I don’t think it’s going to bode well for counterterrorism efforts when the [National Security Council] senior director is somebody like that.”
Gorka, who briefly served as a deputy assistant to the president in Trump’s first term, made headlines in March 2017 following a report on his links to a Hungarian far-right group with historical ties to Nazi Germany. He later denied that he was a member of the group.

He has a history of controversial comments — particularly regarding his Islamophobic views — and once served as an adviser to Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s far-right prime minister and authoritarian leader whom Trump has praised as “fantastic.”
Gorka was recently a contender to be Trump’s pick for deputy national security adviser, Politico reported last week, before Alex Wong eventually got the nod from the president-elect.

OMG I didn't know he picked Gorka for a position. Gorka is HIDEOUS. I hate to agree with John Bolton about anything, but this is the exception.

A con man calling someone a con man? How funny. Bolton is one of the most uselessly deranged imbeciles in DC. Why anybody takes that shitbag seriously is beyond me.

Warren: Trump risks national security by not cooperating with Biden administration on transition​

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is warning that President-elect Trump is putting national security at risk by refusing to sign memoranda of understanding with the Biden White House and federal departments and agencies to allow the transition power to proceed smoothly and give Trump and his team access to classified information.

“President-elect Donald Trump is undermining his own ability to effectively manage national security emergencies, urgent public health and safety threats, and corruption risks as he prepares to take office,” Warren wrote in a letter to Robin Carnahan, the administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which handles much of the presidential transition.

Warren pointed out Trump has still not signed agreements with the Biden-Harris administration to guide the transition and has failed to publish an ethics plan, which she said increases “the risk of the incoming administration governing for the benefit of special interests rather than the American public.”

The Massachusetts senator noted that under the Presidential Transition Enhancement Act, presidential candidates are required to develop and publicly release an ethics plan for their transition teams prior to the election.

She emphasized that Trump signed that very requirement into law in March 2020, when he was president. And she pointed out the bipartisan law was led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), a Trump ally, and passed Congress with overwhelming support.

Under the law, the Trump transition’s ethics plan was supposed to be published on the GSA website by Oct. 1.

“Then-candidate Trump ignored that deadline and now — 16 days since the election — still has yet to publish the full plan,” Warren wrote.

The senator acknowledged that while the Trump transition has prepared its own ethics code, she argued in her letter that it does not meet the requirements of the Presidential Transition Enhancement Act because “it includes nothing about how President-elect Trump will manage his own extensive financial conflicts of interest.”

“Without that plan, the public has no assurance that Trump intends to mitigate his conflicts of interest,” she wrote.

Warren said Trump’s transition team should have agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the General Services Administration by Sept. 1 to receive administrative support services, and to another agreement with the Biden White House by Oct. 1 to gain access to federal employees, facilities and documents.

“The Trump Transition has said it has ‘an intent’ to sign those MOUs, but thus far has refused to sign either one, and the Transition’s leadership has asserted that the agreements are ‘not important issues,’” she wrote.

Bolton will be under one of trump's many revenge investigations by this time next year.

Then will come the trumped up charges and political prosecution.

MAGAturds will justify it by bawling "But look what the libs did to trump!!!!" 🥺 😢 😩
 
F**K BOLTON! He's just bitter because he's on the sidelines. His version of authoritarianism and imperialism just differs in intensity and time frame. Essentially, he's just pulling the old "broken clock" schtick .... being right 2 times out of 24.
 
Many of Trump's choices could not pass a decent probe . That is why he says he wants to skip the FBI checks. He is pushing for dangerous people whose loyalty is only to him and Project 2025. The dems told you Trump wants to scrap it all and turn America into Trumpsylvania.

YOU DID! You and your ilk didn't say a goddamned thing with all the imperialistic BS he spewed during his stint in the Reagan/Bush years. Now that the teabaggers have morphed into the MAGA cult, you'll throw anyone under the bus who doesn't genuflect in front of Cheeto Jeezus.

Well toodles, you got what you wished for. Now for the next 4 years I'll just watch you fools twist like pretzels to blame any and all actions that whistle wind up your shorts on anyone else BUT whom you endorsed.
