“Dis na part of di retribution campaign wey him don signal for quite some time,” John Bolton, wey serve as Trump’s national security adviser from spring 2018 through late summer 2019, talk.

“Di important thing be say pipo understand say him dey carry through for wetin him talk say him go do.”

Cheney, from Wyoming, na di highest-ranking congressional Republican wey continue to criticize Trump for him coup attempt wey culminate for di attack of di U.S. Capitol by mob of him supporters nearly four years ago.

She lose her leadership position for May 2021, but then serve as vice chair of di House committee wey dey investigate di January 6, attack.

“Liz Cheney fit dey for plenty trouble” and then paraphrase House ally wey talk say “numerous federal laws likely broken by Liz Cheney, and dis violations should be investigated by di Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

“My message to Republicans be say you gatz take wetin Trump dey talk for repeated occasions seriously na wetin him want do,” Bolton tell Huff Post.

“Him fit no do am. Him fit dey distracted from am, but no live for di bubble say na just talk and you fit dismiss am.”

Bolton also talk say Trump’s pick to be di next director of national intelligence, former Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, suppose dey rejected.

“She no qualify for di job at all, and she don talk things about Syria, about Ukraine, about variety of oda issues wey put her not just from di extremes of public opinion, but put am for different planet,” him talk.

Trump aides no respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment.

Bolton na Trump’s third national security adviser. Him first, Michael Flynn, resign just weeks afta di start of Trump’s term for 2017 afta admitting say him dey mislead di then-Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts wit di Russian ambassador to di U.S. during di presidential transition.

Trump’s second national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, last just ova a year.

Bolton, wey dem consider foreign policy hawk for di tradition of di pre-Trump Republican Party, frequently butted heads wit Trump ova number of issues, including him affinity for dictators like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. Bolton leave di White House just as di public dey discova of Trump’s attempts to coerce Ukraine into smearing di 2020 Democratic opponent wey him dey mostly fear.

Bolton talk say him consider Gabbard; former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, Trump’s first choice for attorney general; and Kash Patel, Trump’s pick to run di FBI, to be di most dangerous for di kontri.

Gaetz dey pressured into withdrawing him name last month amid speculation regarding still-secret House Ethics Committee report about him alleged sexual relationship wit17-year-old girl.

“Dat one down,” Bolton talk.

Whether Senate Republicans get any interest for di warning from di like of Bolton, howeva, remains to be seen.

Account on X, formerly Twitter, for Senate Republican leadership consistently dey post supportive messages about GOP senators’ meetings wit Trump’s administration picks, including Patel and Gabbard, but never dey post statements from Republican senators wey dey noncommittal.

“I get good meeting wit @Kash_Patel dis aftanoon,” read Wednesday message wey di account repost from Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, referring to Patel.”

“We talk about how we fit support our great FBI Agents for di field and strengthen di ties between federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement.”

Dat post com shortly afta one from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul praising Gabbard.

“Tulsi embody di qualities wey Washington find intolerable, fearlessness, principle, and unwavering commitment to challenging corruption,” Paul write.

Bolton dey among di 60 former and current executive branch officials from both major political parties wey Patel list for him book, “Government Gangsters,” and believe need to go afta.

Patel serve unda Bolton as National Security Council staffer during Trump’s first term, and Bolton criticize am for book of him own, called “Di Room wia e Happened,” for spending much of him time dire trying to cozy up to Trump rather than carry out him assigned duties.

Bolton talk say if, as di coup-attempting former president and him Republican allies claim, di FBI need to be fixed, di way to do so na to appoint outsida wits trong reputation, such as Democratic President Jimmy Carter’s choice of William Webster, federal judge, for 1978.

“You no go solve di problem by making it worse and appointing FBI director wey go conduct witch hunts bicos Donald Trump want am,” he talk.
