John Bolton on Plot to Kill Trump: It Sounds Credible, the MOU Was Negotiated with Civilians Who Don‘t Control the Weapons Used Against Commercial Traffic

RUSH EXCERPT:
BOLTON: "Well, without seeing it, it‘s obviously hard to judge it, but I to me, it sounds very credible. I mean, one of the problems that we face in Iran today is there‘s not a functioning government. I think I think it‘s it‘s a dangerous illusion that although it‘s been wounded, the government kind of continues as it was before. Indeed, the memorandum of understanding was negotiated with a bunch of civilians who don‘t have control of the weapons that are now being used in the gulf and in the Strait of Hormuz against commercial traffic. And it‘s the revolutionary guard, not the civilians, who are in control of the nuclear program. So I think all of this puts it together, that it‘s entirely possible that either the revolutionary guard or the ministry of information and security, the mois is continuing to plot Trump‘s assassination as it has since the strike against qassem soleimani, the head of the quds force, back in January of 2020, where the first death threats more than threats. The activity to try and assassinate President Trump and a number of others of us down the line for that strike. I suspect the list is even longer today. Let me just say one thing about the Israeli intelligence, because I‘ve heard this speculation that the Israelis are trying to con the United States and and poor, naive Donald Trump into thinking that there‘s an assassination plot where None exists. Presumably, everything that the Israelis had and was given to the United States was reviewed by American intelligence agencies. And if they doubted that there was a plot going on, you know, I think the president probably would have gotten on his shiny, refurbished. 747 instead of the old one. So I think it‘s just a little bit more than cynical to say that somehow the Israelis want this up without a basis. If American intelligence doesn‘t believe it, they should say so."
