The Memo: Barr, Bolton, Kelly line up to condemn Trump over alleged crimes

Most of former President Trump’s rivals for the GOP nomination have taken a cautious path in responding to his indictment — but some veterans of his administration have taken a far more assertive stance.
Bill Barr, who served as Trump’s attorney general, said that Trump would be “toast” if “even half” of the behavior alleged in the indictment proved to be true.
Barr later called the defenses mounted by Trump and his allies “farcical” and said that the former president had “engaged in an outrageous act of obstruction and deception.”
John Bolton, who was national security advisor for Trump from 2018-2019, called the indictment “devastating” and said it should be the “end of Donald Trump’s political career.”
Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly told the Washington Post that Trump was “scared s**tless” by the circumstances in which he finds himself, adding “he’s never been held accountable before.”
