John Bolton wasn\u2019t picked at random. He is a prominent critic of the president. The pattern is systematic. Anyone who stands up to the president or criticizes him faces federal consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1279\">He continued, illustrating the point. \u201cIf you\u2019re John Bolton, your home gets seized. If you\u2019re on the Federal Reserve and resist lowering interest rates, you face threats. Generals issuing reports that cast doubt on U.S. military actions in Iran risk firing.
