The Don Lemon Show · LEMON DROP | John Bolton on Signal-Gate, Trump, and the Constitutional Crisis · 19 Apr 2025 podcast

We had to keep in mind we were officers of the court and the court relied on Justice Department lawyers to remember that their highest obligation was to the Constitution.

That's in jeopardy in this administration.

Well, it's absolutely unacceptable.

And I don't I don't think there's any federal judge in this country that would countenance that.

But it's another example of Trump trying to show how tough he is on this issue and pushing the limits.

He doesn't he just doesn't acknowledge that the that there are things that that he can't do.

And he's waiting for somebody to tell him no.

Nobody at the White House is telling him no at this point.

I mean, I saw in the first term lawyers in the White House counsel's office, lawyers from the Justice Department.

I mean, political appointees explaining why he couldn't do A, B or C.

And I have to say, I don't see evidence that they're saying that.

They may be and are unsuccessful, but it doesn't look to me like anybody's giving him significant legal advice.

Well, initially, I was totally without words.

I couldn't find a way to express how stunned I was that anybody would do this.

You simply don't use commercial means of communication, whether it's supposedly an encrypted app or not.

for these kinds of discussions.

You don't know where they're going to go.

You could start off talking about a newspaper article, but obviously you could get into classified material.

I understand why you need to have group chats, but as I've been saying, the place for the group chats are the situation room where everybody's in place.

Some people may have to appear via secure video teleconference facilities, and we've got great capacity to do that.
