No one inquired just what that boldness would look like thus leaving it to our imagination and speculation.
Yeah, we should have asked, but not sure we would have received a full answer given their tendency to tell us to "wait and see". It would have been nice to know what "do what needs to be done" means, or more specifically, what methods were available to "do what needs to be done". At this point, the only method not used is the one that way always going to be the method of last resort: the Insurrection Act. So I think we can assume that that is what was being referred to, but as I noted in my little imaginary scenario, he would need enough support to make it worth doing.
