On his apocalyptic TruNews programme, captured by Right Wing Watch, Mr Wiles said the president's impeachment or "however he leaves" office will inspire "veterans, cowboys, mountain men" and "guys that know how to fight" to bring "violence to America" by hunting down Mr Trump's political enemies.

Will Bolton Torch Trump?
Lawyers for former national security advisor John Bolton have been in touch with officials working on the House committees conducting an impeachment probe into President Donald Trump, a person close to Bolton told NBC News on Friday.
The news comes more than a week after the White House’s former top Europe expert, Fiona Hill, testified to Congress that Bolton has been so disturbed by efforts to get Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political opponents that he called it a “drug deal.”








You should all lower your expectations.  
Bolton is above all A HARDCORE FAR RIGHT WARMONGER who puts ideology above country every single goddamned time.
