Republican Senators Call on Trump to Rethink Revoked Security Details

“… Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas and the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, spoke after Mr. Trump abruptly halted government security protection for three officials from his first time who were involved in his Iran policy and have remained under threat.

One of them, John R. Bolton, Mr. Trump’s third national security adviser, has been a vocal critic of Mr. Trump since departing the administration in 2019. The other two, his former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and another former top State Department official, Brian Hook, have been supportive of Mr. Trump. His decision to pull their details surprised and alarmed some of the president’s allies.

“I would encourage the president to revisit the decision for those people who are being targeted by Iran, as the president was targeted for assassination by Iran,” Mr. Cotton said on Fox News. He said he had reviewed current intelligence and that the threats remained real.

… Mr. Graham deflected a question about whether the withdrawal of protection amounted to retribution by Mr. Trump against Mr. Bolton but said, “The question is, do you deserve protection because you served an administration, you stood up to a foreign adversary, and they want to kill you?"

Mr. Trump has also pulled the security for Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the infectious disease expert who advised the first Trump administration during the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Fauci has been a target of Mr. Trump’s political base for almost five years including threats against his life. …”
 
This is being discussed in the immigration/deportation thread but also relevant, I think

"...that the decision could affect how current officials do their jobs."

That's the point.

Dr. Fauci is under a much greater threat from MAGAts and domestic terrorists than Pompeo or Bolton are from Iranians.

How is it possible to quantify this (even if you did have access to all the relevant intelligence)?

This seems like a complete WAG.

It’s an opinion.

Also, Pompeo has been out-of-the-news since 1/20/21……the Iranians likely have forgotten him.

Form a mental picture of Mike Pompeo? Can you? He could be in my kitchen right now and I’d have ask him, “Who are you?”

John Bolton? He might be a bit more in danger because he’s such a camera whore. Still, if he shaved the porn stach, he’s good to go.

Who in America wants to kill Pompeo or Bolton?

The MAGAts that occupied/surrounded the Michigan Capitol or the Oregon Wildlife Refuge?

A significant percentage would harm Fauci.

Maybe Pompeo’s Ozempic weight loss will fool the Iranians.
 
Today, fired 12 career Justice Dept employees who helped prosecute him as part of the Special Counel's investigations. Can't get more retributive than that. Tearing down the rule of law step by step
 
How many Scaramuccis until Pete Hegseth appears facedown drunk somewhere?

Let’s use the 11-day Scaramucci.

I’m going with six.
