surely he'll be first in a long line of people looking to do the same, each successful attack on trump emboldens all the others who have patiently waited for the right moment...
I hope so B1rd , I surely hope so.
I think that what will stop certain people in Scrotus' 'orbit' from 'tell-alls' is that they've signed NDA. These would be 'private citizens' without an official appointment. But a Govt Official/Appointee cannot sign a 'personal' NDA or the NDA has no 'force' if we do sign one. We (actually I'm retired, but when I was working) are bound by the 'Official Secrets Act' or an agency's 'Standards of Conduct' as far as what we are allowed to reveal, but we cannot sign a 'personal' NDA.
So, theoretically, once Scrotus is out of office an appointee is free to say what they like about his conduct or behaviour, but they still cannot reveal things that are 'capital-S' Secret. That's what is giving Bolton such license to say what he's saying. And why Scrotus is so determined to push through the 'policy' that every teeny thing a POTUS says is by definition 'Secret' simply because a POTUS is saying it. Absolute bollocks of course. 'Secret' is loosely defined as endangering national security or (in most agencies) revealing information that would allow someone to misuse the workings of that agency for their own purpose or to damage the country.
