Trump risks General Mark Milley and John Bolton’s life

When Elizabeth Warren and Tom Cotton agree

It’s not so sensed every day. Tom Cotton And Elizabeth Warren Appropriate a problem. But as President Donald Trump made the breathtaking decision to revoke the security protection for three former high -ranking civil servants – despite the clear threats of their life from Iran – even some of the strictest Republican allies in Trump had the alarm.

Cotton, the chairman of the Senate’s secret service shot and a long -time Trump loyalist, asked the President to “rethink this in Fox Business” and warned that the former national security advisor was John Boltonformer foreign minister Mike Pompeo and retired gen. Mark Milley remain in the real danger.

In January 2020, a trump-drone strike killed the Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Iran has sworn revenge since then. Cotton told Fox News that former officials “could be attacked by Iranian assassins in public, where innocent viewers could be violated”.

Warren, a member of the Committee of the Senate Armed Service, did not dismantle any words either. In a letter to the newly confirmed Minister of Defense Pete HegsethShe accused Trump of “misused his power to arm the government against the political enemy of the President”, warned that his actions “pave the way for the revenge of Iran”.

It is no coincidence that among those who lose security details are bolton who wrote a damn book about Trump; Miley, who vehemently opposed Trump’s candidacy for the President; And Pompeo, who also fell out of favor with Trump.

Not only is it wrong, it is dangerous for the country. Trump endangered and not just that of his former officials – innocent civilians could possibly be caught in the crossfire. In the meantime, the officials could hesitate to give Trump honest reviews in the future. As Cotton admitted himself, this debacle could have a “terrifying effect” on the people who are currently advising Trump and think twice before giving him the hard but important truths that he does not want to hear.
