THIS IS HOW MOB BOSSES AND DICTATORS BEHAVE:

 

Trump campaigned on retribution, and he's making good on his promise to MAGA to punish anyone who criticized him.

These are the tactics of criminal authoritarian regimes, and Trump has brought those tactics to America:

NYTimes:

At dawn, the F.B.I. conducted a search of Mr. Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., and his office in Washington. Agents carried out boxes of papers and put them into vehicles with flashing blue lights in front of the amassed cameras. The Times reported that officials were investigating whether Mr. Bolton had improperly leaked national security information to the news media and other parties to damage the Trump administration. Mr. Bolton, notably, has not held government office in six years. It is too early to know what the F.B.I. will claim to find in all of those boxes but not too early to surmise that the search for incriminating documents was not the real goal of Friday’s search. Even if it turns up documents that should not be there, the administration has damaged any presumption of good faith by flinging weightless accusations of criminality at those who challenge it. 

That approach was evident in the snide social media posts that accompanied the search. “NO ONE is above the law,” wrote Kash Patel, the bureau’s director. “@FBI agents on mission.” Mr. Patel’s deputy Dan Bongino jumped to an accusation of guilt with his response: “Public corruption will not be tolerated.” And Attorney General Pam Bondi declared: “America’s safety isn’t negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always.”

"The search is a new chapter in Mr. Trump’s campaign of retribution against his critics. The White House and its loyalists in the Justice Department and the F.B.I. are sending a clear message: Keep quiet, or we will use the extraordinary power of federal law enforcement to threaten your job or your liberty and put you under a lasting cloud of suspicion. And they are using the fearsome punitive authority of the government to conduct this campaign."

More on the Trump Regime's retribution:

Trump has accused former President Obama of "treason," without evidence, and has opened an investigation into Russia and the 2016 election.“He’s guilty,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Obama in July, acting as both judge and jury. 

Trump has sent his personal law firm, the Department of Justice, headed by his personal lawyers, Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche to go after former prosecutor Jack Smith.

The F.B.I., headed by Kash Patel who is a raging conspiracy dupe, is going after Letitia James; and Trump has instigated a federal investigation against Senator Adam Schiff of California, another outspoken critic of Trump who headed up the first of Trump's two impeachments. 

And finally, Lisa Cook, a member of the board of the Federal Reserve (appointed by President Joe Biden), whom Mr. Trump threatened to fire on Friday, claiming the grounds of mortgage deception.

Read what Aaron from New York has to say about this insult to America and its justice system:

"Trump should have been out of office in 2017, the moment he ordered Comey to swear loyalty to him. That showed exactly the bedrock of his ethos. 

 There is no America to this person, there is no Constitution — there are only people who will enable him to smash and grab and duck accountability for his crimes, and enemies. 

 The current director of the FBI falls into the first category. And they’re sending message after message to GOP public officials that if you don’t click your heels loud enough for Dear Leader, if you dare to think of the United States and its citizens before him, you will suffer for it. 

And who doubts that the same man who pushed the Governor of Georgia to “find” him some votes isn’t also telling Patel to “find” him some incriminating evidence against his critics? 

And who doubts that the same man firing economists and military intelligence officials for contradicting his lies with evidence won’t also fire agents who say there is no real evidence to be found? 

This isn’t about liberals or conservatives or political parties. This is about civic decency, and ultimately our freedom which is very much at risk."

Dear MAGA, 

You did this -- you put Trump, a low-intelligence, Liar, Cheat, Fraudster, Convicted Felon, Adjudicated Sexual Assaulter, and Serial Adulterer, who spent 15+ years partying with two notorious child sex traffickers and rapists, Epstein and Maxwell, -- you voted for this deceitful, dishonorable, mentally deteriorating wreckage AGAIN! to America's eternal degradation and shame.

You put a mob boss/authoritarian in charge of my country!
