It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically. Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country. Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve. In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota. The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says she wants the threat of prosecution to serve as a "deterrence message" that scares young people away from taking jobs in the Trump administration. The Michigan Democrat made the remarks at a University of Chicago event, saying she wants prospective hires to think, "Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don't want, and so let me avoid participating in that." The comments drew sharp backlash from legal scholars and conservative students alike, with law professor Jonathan Turley saying Slotkin "said the quiet part out loud."

Slotkin, Goodlander and other seditionists posted the No Kings video on October 17, 2025. The purpose was to portray President Trump as a dictator. The format is the same as the later Call to Insurrection video. No Kings was financed by Soros, Hoffman and other Dark Money groups with the purpose of deposing President Trump. That's how they always start the Color Revolutions: with "protests" to overthrow the leader. Slotkin then spoke at the Brookings on October 29, 2025, predicting an incident involving National Guard. Brookings is Hillary, Talbott (Intel-community connected Clinton buddy), Goodlander's husband and Hillary's advisor Jake Sullivan. Slotkin is of course CIA, "endorsed" by John Brennan and co. Sullivan and Goodlander are friends with Bill Burns who attended their wedding. Sullivan is the organizer, Goodlander is the legal "brains" behind the insurrection, as an aide to AG Garland, she effectively ran Biden's DoJ. Brookings is where the co-conspirators all meet and agree on the strategy. They did exactly the same with Russiagate, etc. After proclaiming the democratically-elected President a "dictator", and organizing "protests", the next step in the Color Revolution playbook is to dehumanize law-enforcement so that when much bigger "protests" take place, it would be "justified" to attack them. The seditionists, with help of their co-conspirators in the media, would then make any violence President Trump's fault. That was one of the purposes of Slotkin's speech at Brookings. On November 18, 2025, the Sedious Six posted their Call to Insurrection video. The purpose was to gain control over the military and the Intelligence Community. Color Revolution playbook.

Michael, then-FBI informant Christopher Steele “briefed” you for your September 23, 2016 Yahoo story on Carter Page. Steele would leak the information, then the Comey FBI would use the media reports planted by their own source to bolster its investigations. They cited your article in the FISA application knowing it had handed you unverified, false information—and used it to manufacture justification for the bogus warrant. Publishing Steele’s fabricated allegations under your byline didn’t turn them into independent confirmation. You were in on the con from the jump. The Inspector General later identified 17 significant errors or omissions in the Page FISA applications. The FISC ultimately rescinded those warrants based on the corruption exposed in the Nunes Memo. Lecturing this FBI about accountability when you helped author its weaponization is the epitome of everything wrong with fake news and the politicization of law enforcement.
