What's the possibility that Trump goes out of his way to rope in high profile people in his administration into specifically illegal deeds as a sort of cult-like / frat-like hazing ritual specifically to manufacture leverage or blackmail material over them so they become increasingly loyal stooges that gradually get inclined to commit crimes out of their own violation?

Like how in some books/shows being turned into a vampire/demon is more about "letting loose" of all your inhibitions and unleashes what you really have been wanting to do the entire then but pesky things like "shame" or "fear of punishment" kept you at least within the bounds of morality?

I feel like there needs to be some broader explanation as to how so many people previously thought to be establishment type "conservatives" all seem to accelerate into a tunnel of self destructive nihilism within months if not weeks of working for Trump?

Almost certainly not true, but it wouldn't be surprising at all. Bolton is a psychopath, but he's also a career bureaucrat who actually knows what he's doing. The other grownups have all been people like Mattis, who would probably let their bullshit personal codes stop them from revealing information like this.

John Bolton kind of stands out in the Trump administration in that he's both an rear end in a top hat with an agenda and someone with an actual career in government. I guess Pompeo might be the only other close example.

One thing to mention: one of the Ukrainian prosecutors that Guiliani talked to had a beef with the former ambassador: the ambassador called for their firing after they were videotaped apparently coaching a suspect in a corruption case what to say on the stand to escape trouble.

Bolton is also kinda old and probably knows he's peaked, so in theory striking back is his next best shot at being relevant for the NeverTrumper crowd in a post-Trump world.

I mean it seems weird, wasn't Pompeo CIA? Confirmed fairly overwhelmingly by the Senate? This is a level of corruption that Senate R's seem to be uncomfortable with.

Pompeo was confirmed before he turned into complete lickspittle, at a time when the senate was just happy to get anyone with government experience into a big position.

Plus, CIA directors always get confirmed.

I'd like to take this moment to thank Rudy Juliana for being a national treasure. Telling us exactly what Trump's crimes are and how you're doing them and why in the worst/best ways possible is just so good. And because he's Trump's guy from his hometown and defending Trump in the worst way possible, but still doing it, Rudy might never be fired. Because Trump craves hometown respect despite being the loving president.

We need more people like Rudy to yell about crimes.

On the off chance Bolton did go through the CIA whistleblower channels for some weird reason, you can bet your last cent it had absolutely nothing to do with a conscience. It'd only be pure hate and vindictiveness.

I'm going at it from the other direction. He's had a lot of monsters in his cabinet, I'll even grant you a few patriotic types trying to hold things together, but all of them had big egos and pride. So, it's amazing none have tried to throw him under the bus.
