Schiff Calls FBI Raid on Bolton \u201cRetribution\u201d<\/p>\n
On Sunday, NBC\u2019s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker asked Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) about the FBI raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
This week, the FBI searched Bolton\u2019s home and office,\u201d Welker noted. \u201cI spoke with the vice president, who rejects the idea that this is political retribution. Do you think people should let the investigation play out before jumping to conclusions?\u201d<\/p>\n
Systematic Intimidation, According to Schiff<\/p>\n
Schiff responded firmly. \u201cThis is clearly retribution. John Bolton wasn\u2019t picked at random. He is a prominent critic of the president. The pattern is systematic. Anyone who stands up to the president or criticizes him faces federal consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, illustrating the point. \u201cIf you\u2019re John Bolton, your home gets seized. If you\u2019re on the Federal Reserve and resist lowering interest rates, you face threats. Generals issuing reports that cast doubt on U.S. military actions in Iran risk firing. Even the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics can be fired for an unfavorable jobs report.\u201d<\/p>\n
Targeting Critics<\/p>\n
Schiff concluded, \u201cThis isn\u2019t just about Bolton. It\u2019s about intimidating anyone who might challenge the president. The message is clear: oppose the president, and you face consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
