Feds Issue Bombshell Warning on Trump's Attack on Our Rights
Former senior FBI and intel officials say he is planning to attack democracy itself.As President Trump’s primetime address to the nation on Thursday draws near, former senior FBI and intelligence officials told the Daily Beast that what he touts as a speech emphasizing the importance of “free and fair elections” will, in fact, be part of an attack on democracy itself.
Trump has announced a 9 p.m. Thursday speech, demanding TV airtime—which they have yet to promise—for what he claims is a matter of national importance. But to those who have worked at the pinnacle of law enforcement, something else is afoot.
“If I was still working a terrorism investigation and a network started coming together and getting into key positions and they started gathering the information and the materials that they needed to carry out a plot, those are things we would call ‘warnings and indicators,’” a retired and profoundly worried FBI official told the Daily Beast.
The official said that when it comes to Trump, that is what is happening.
They detailed a growing list of warnings and indicators. That list is detailed, and specific. It was led by the replacement of Paul Brown as special agent in charge of the FBI Atlanta Field Office. Brown’s sin was to express reservations about the Department of Justice’s decision to investigate the 2020 election, which Trump insists was rigged.

... because their replacements are Chump-humpers and MAGA-cultists.
The "Feds" who lost their jobs had career training, and a lifetime of service to Uncle Sam. Those are the ones I would believe, and prefer to listen to anyway. Political convictions are secondary to the truth of how Chump is destroying our government.
I'm glad they are speaking up ahead of this fiasco.
I think they're starting to figure this out ....
.... he's sowing the seeds of doubt in the crazy MAGAs, and there's no evidence that any fraud will actually happen.
There won't be purges like that again because each state is updating its voter registration roles annually.
Even in Pennsylvania (a purple-slash-blue state) we are checking the voters data against the drivers license data. Any discrepancies between the two, it's assumed that the voter data is incorrect and the driver data is correct. Why? because people move, get married, go to college, go in the army or any number of things. They keep their drivers license up-to-date but they probably don't remember to change their voter registration and update it promptly.
It was shocking the first time we ran our revisions, and it probably was for most other states, that so many names and addresses didn't match. It's not fraud ... it's just the state finally getting the info correct on the voter registration records. Other states do the same and it's not purging legitimate voters, it's correcting the records.
Maybe someone is listed as "Bob Jones" on the voter registration and maybe he's "Robert Jones" on the driver's data. That gets kicked out because they both have to match. So then Bob Jones needs to re-register and he can still vote in the same year, but he needed to check it while there was still time to re-register. (In PA it's 30 days before the election.)
What makes it hard for minority voters and some senior citizens is that they don't always have a drivers license to show as an easy ID. I believe it's discriminatory to a certain degree, but those who have no drivers license can get a Real ID without the drivers license and use it as their regular ID. This is accepted at every voting precinct and polling location. I believe the way we do it in Pennsylvania is the same everywhere else.
