Speaking with the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," he was asked about the president's growing legal problems as his policies are challenged in federal court.

"I think some of them will definitely end up there," he began. "One thing to note about the judges, in spite of the administration saying these are activist judges, the judges who are ruling against the administration are from, you know, Democratic appointees, Republican appointees, you have Trump appointees. You have a unanimous Supreme Court decision saying that these people in El Salvador were entitled to due process and have to be given due process."

Pointing out that Trump has seen "judges who have just had it," with his flood of appeals, he singled out attempts to force law firms into submission.

"I think the orders where all judges have said the law firm orders, they are four executive orders that have all been struck down by the courts, left and right, so to speak. I don't think if the administration is smart, they're going to take that to the Supreme Court because that will end this," he predicted. "I mean, I think they will los and right now they're doing pretty well on just the sort of fear factor and the terrorizing effect of the executive orders, even though they keep on getting struck down unanimously."

In the clip shared by the CNN host, an animated Johnson accused, "My eyes began opening to this reality with the disclosure of how the Obama administration weaponized the IRS to harass Tea Party groups by denying them tax-exempt status."

"President Trump is out in the open, threatening to target Harvard; a move that the conservative editorial board of the Wall Street Journal says is unwise and sets a bad precedent," Tapper pressed his guest. "Do you oppose his [Trump's] instruction to the IRS to take away Harvard's tax-exempt status?"

"Well, first of all, what I would like to do is simplify and rationalize our tax code so we really don't try and socially and economically engineer the economy through the tax code," Johnson attempted. "It should be simple, it should be rational, it should raise the revenue. We have –– the tax exempt status of all kinds of entities, you kind of scratch your head. You know, so many of these entities, for example, universities pretty easy for them to not make a profit so what value does that tax-exempt status have?"

"Right," the CNN host agreed. "But President Trump is out there instructing his IRS to target Harvard and you've been very outspoken about when targeting was done of conservative groups during the Obama years, which he apologized for ultimately, and I'm wondering if you are also upset at at this."

"Well, in the past, people have used tax-exempt status on churches and religious universities as well," Johnson parried. "Again, that's why I don't like our complex tax code. I don't want anybody to be using the tax code in this type of manner and so what I'd say is let's simplify the tax code –– that's the solution here."

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," John Bolton said there is no legitimate comparison between the two jobs.

Co-host Jonathan Capehart pressed his guest, "Let's talk about your other the other job you had that at least talked about in the intro. You were the United States ambassador, permanent representative to the United Nations. Vice President Vance is trying to is trying to spin Mike Waltz's nomination to be in the job you had as a promotion. I mean, on paper, it might it seems like a promotion from national security advisor. But you tell me, as someone who has been in both jobs."

"Look, I loved being U.N. ambassador, it's a great job, there's no question about it," Bolton replied. "But in terms of being able to influence policy, it's not even a close question."

"National security advisors is far more likely to be influential," he elaborated. "The office is only a couple of yards down the hall from the Oval Office, and the fact is the U.N. ambassador actually has a job to do, too, in addition to, to what? to what the what the level of the title may show."

"So I think if you took a survey and asked any, any number of national security-related people in Washington or around the country, they would overwhelmingly say that national security advisor was the more important job. I don't even think that's a close question," he added.
