4. Y'all are criticizing the wrong guy. It's GORKA everyone should be worried about.

If you hate Bolton that much, does it mean you approve of whoever he warns about? COME ON. THINK.

GORKA is a national security threat, just like trump himself. But he's exponentially more a national threat than the rest of the cabinet because he's had so much more exposure to counterintelligence that even trump, Bondi or whoever's the head of the Dept of Defense.

Gorka's mostly done adjunct university work, but this country let him in, where he went on to teach topics related to counterintelligence. He's been fascist leaning all along, and has worked for Steve Bannon.

Various national security scholars in academic and policymaking circles have characterized Gorka as fringe. Some critics have challenged his academic cedentials, his views on Islam and radicalization, and his motives for identifying with the Order of Vitéz and supporting Magyar Gárda, a paramilitary organization banned by the European Union...

In 1998, Gorka served as an adviser to Viktor Orbán.[26] In 2002, he entered the political science doctoral program at Corvinus University where he obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2007.[7][27] Gorka is a naturalized American citizen...

2004, Gorka became an adjunct to USSOCOM's Joint Special Operations University, MacDill Air Force Base.
He and his family relocated to the United States in 2008.
He was hired as administrative dean at the National Defense University, Fort McNair, Washington D.C.
2006, he began to lecture part-time for the ASD(SO/LIC)-funded Masters Program in Irregular Warfare and Counterterrorism as part of the Combating Terrorism Fellowship Program but remained in a largely administrative role.[32]
Between 2009 and 2011 Gorka wrote for the Hudson Institute of New York (now Gatestone Institute).[33] Between 2011 and 2013, Gorka was an adjunct faculty member at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy.[15]
In 2014 Gorka assumed the privately endowed Major General Matthew C. Horner Distinguished Chair of Military Theory at the Marine Corps University Foundation.[8]
From 2014 to 2016, Gorka was an editor for national security affairs for Breitbart News,[34] where he worked for Steve Bannon.[35]
In August 2016, he joined The Institute of World Politics, a private institution, on a full-time basis as Professor of Strategy and Irregular Warfare and Vice President for National Security Support.[36...

2017, Gorka was appointed Deputy Assistant to the President and Strategist in the Trump White House.[26][38] He was a member of a White House team known as the Strategic Initiatives Group, set up by White House advisors Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner.[38] The Strategic Initiatives Group never got off the ground, and Gorka failed to obtain the security clearance necessary for work on national security issues.

...Gorka was detained January 31, 2016, at the Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington D.C. for attempting to board a plane with a 9 mm handgun in his luggage...
Hungarian police had issued an arrest warrant for Gorka for "firearm or ammunition abuse" on September 17, 2016

To this day, Gorka has never obtained ANY security clearance, whether in the U.S. OR Hungary.
But he KNOWS what intel to serve up to our enemies, and must be kept under close surveillance by U.S. intelligence as much as trump must be.
