11. "But if we stand for this, they'll be going after true blue Democrats soon enough."

Au contraire! He has been in office for 8 months (as of yesterday). He already went through the "true blue Democrats", many of whom were pre-pardoned by Biden before he left office. He's already thrown javelins at Schiff and NY AG Letia James.

This is why he is moving onto the Shrub-wing. If Liz Cheney hadn't been given a pardon, she would have been FIRST before he hit Bolton, although I expect he'll get around to her and Kinzinger for other stuff soon enough. He is in the process of going after Comey and I expect Mueller may be on the list too (since he had attempted to go after a pre-pardoned Jack Smith already I but haven't heard any updates on that)!
