The United States Secret Service police cruisers that have been a constant presence outside of former Ambassador John Bolton's home disappeared shortly after President Donald Trump took office earlier this week. Trump revoked the Secret Service protection that has been provided for Bolton, who has been an outspoken critic of the president. The U.S. Justice Department has alleged several people with ties to Iran have attempted to recruit potential assassins to target Bolton since the U.S. killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in January of 2020. Bolton was no longer a member of the Trump administration by the time the assassination took place.
Trump also revoked Bolton's security clearance in an executive order that revoked the security clearances of 49 living intelligence officials who falsely suggested the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was Russian misinformation during the 2020 presidential election. The letter signed by the officials was used to censor news coverage and social media posts about the laptop and its scandalous contents in the final weeks of the 2020 election.
"Former National Security Advisor John R. Bolton published a memoir for monetary gain after he was terminated from his White House position in 2019," Monday's executive order stated. "The book was rife with sensitive information drawn from his time in government. The memoir’s reckless treatment of sensitive information undermined the ability of future presidents to request and obtain candid advice on matters of national security from their staff. Publication also created a grave risk that classified material was publicly exposed."
Bolton, and the National Security Council official who reviewed his book before its publication, both strongly rejected the idea that any sensitive information had been disclosed. Trump administration officials disagreed, and the fallout of that dispute has now extended into Trump's second term.

Hopefully Waze will get updated as well. It was beyond annoying to hear Waze say, "Warning, police report ahead".
Delivering on his promise of retribution.
A new broom sweeps clean, clean our house, President Trump! You have a mandate.
the hunters have become the hunted
The retribution: So Christ-like! (Spot on, 11:30 AM!) Love Bishop Budde ~ so gracious, as always
No, retribution would be sending the FBI to raid 51 "intelligence" officials homes. The SS hanging out on Greentree 24/76 is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
Cinco, you are loco. JB the warmonger is now free to seek his destiny- a quiet pasture in a docile backwater to spend quality time with his mustache.
JAC, I’ve wondered these last four years why those guys were camped out across the street every time I’ve taken that cut-through. No more wondering and no more guys.
We need to return to accountability and merit, real President Trump will do that for US.
Speaking of SS protection - who are they protecting on Fernwood Rd. between Greentree and Bradley, and also in Kenwood on Brookside Dr.? They've been there for years.
Retribution from a convicted felon. What does that tell you?
7:15 - Yes. I've known that John Bolton lived there for some years. I used to see him in the car, with the top down, in a VW I think, many times on Greentree.
I asked one of the SS guys watching Garland if he was looking forward to Pam Bondi detail and he said 'absolutely, if I'm so lucky.'
Sorry, man dates are no longer allowed.
