create a legal defense fund with the mission of defending our democracy, and support the legal costs of defendants in these pivotal, high profile cases, regardless of the defendants' prior political philosophies.

We will not often agree with Bolton politically, but that does not matter. Defending our democracy is really the only priority now.

And these influential billionaires should put pressure on other billionaires to chip in to this fund, considering they have all gotten rich from the political system we are fighting to preserve.

If there were a massive fund in defense of democracy, Trump would have to abandon his weaponization of the courts, at least to some degree.
