"BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT
This morning, I took the formal step in what will be a long fight: I asked the
government’s watchdogs to investigate how Donald Trump is using the presidency
to punish dissent — starting with me. (full legal request at the bottom)
WHAT HAPPENED
I served as Chief of Staff at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
under Donald Trump – and warned the country about what I saw. Specifically, I
sounded the alarm about Trump’s anti-constitutional inclinations and desire to
use the presidency for revenge if he won reelection, first as “Anonymous,” then
under my own name. His defenders dismissed my warnings and said my predictions
“wouldn’t really happen.” Then they did.
Back in office, he’s wielding his powers for revenge. He’s gone after law
firms. He’s attacked universities. He’s threatened media organizations. He’s
used the government to assail a wide range of institutions and perceived foes.
In short, he’s proven my point in extraordinary, unprecedented fashion.
Now the President is going after individuals – myself included. Trump signed an
Executive Order on April 9 directing law enforcement agencies to investigate
me, as well as my former colleague Chris Krebs. Not for any identified crime.
But in retaliation for warning about his abuses of power. Legal scholars say
it’s the first time in U.S. history a president has directed federal
investigations into his critics – by name – for protected speech. He suspended
my security clearances, labeled me a national security threat, and told
reporters I was probably guilty of “treason,” a crime that is penalized by the
death penalty."
