Tattoo says it's not at all driven by political retribution.
But that they have to clarify this is not an enemies list retribution thing.
Also seems kinda pot/kettle.. if only Bolton had the authority to say, "Okay, all these boxes are now declassified," and then take them to Mar-a-Lago as keepsakes. Which is totally legal if you're still president at the time.
This article from April is pay-walled, but pretty much everyone on Trump's (not-like-Nixon-at-all) enemies list are getting checked off one by one. Nixon used the IRS, I think Trump is using the DOJ. Suing and raids mostly. For universities, he threatens their funding for being
Bolsheviks woke marxists teaching DEI.
Bolton was at least a predicted target by many.

I'm sure there are TOTALLY LEGIT Merica-loving and patriotic reasons for all this... if He says there is. It's all perfectly cromulent. (That's a real word now)
But it's the age of not being overtly dictatorship-like, so they get sued in the NOT WEAPONIZED DOJ or raided by the TOTALLY NOT WEAPONIZED FBI... or have their funds made contingent on teaching approved ideology.
Normal things ALL democracies do.
Unfortunately, Many are now programmed upon reading this to defer to Trump's foundational victim card. DARVO as always. He has good reasons for that list!
Then, just reverse accusations and say The Biden DOJ did it first... Or Obama. Or Clinton. Or Anything Democrat. and then add something about authoritarian Marxist oppression that teaches kids demonic woke ideology, or pushes for open borders and socialism. And then base your entire
Making America Great Again Christian Nationalism takeover on an unspoken, deep-seated phobia or outright oppression of change that makes you uncomfortable.
