Opinion: Feds Issue Bombshell Warning on Trump’s Attack on Our Rights

At the approach of President Trump’s prime time address to the nation on Thursday, 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 network air time—which they have yet to promise—on what he claims will be 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.
