Willie Geist: When Trump Promised Retribution During the Campaign, It Turns Out He Meant It

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "Yeah, I mean, that's exactly the point, which is they are under threat because of the orders they received from Donald Trump, because of the policies of the Trump Administration. And now, for petty reasons, some grievance that Donald Trump has, you have to dig deep to remember what it is, he’s pulling, according to all this reporting, security for not just Mike Pompeo, but others. John Bolton we talked about a couple of days ago, but one of the top aides to Mike Pompeo also having his security pulled, somebody who was at his side for all of these decisions. So when Donald Trump promised retribution during the campaign, it turns out he meant it. When he promised to empty the jails of January 6th convicts, it turns out he meant it. So we’re learning in this very first week, these first few days of the Trump administration, if people didn't already, to take seriously his threats."
