The FBI and Other Intelligence Agencies View “Trump’s army constitutes the greatest threat of violence domestically” and that the FBI “has to deal with [it]”
A Newsweek article is titled: “Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears.” Given that the FBI and other government agencies influenced the 2016 and 2020 elections, it looks like they will be involved in the 2024.
. . . Another senior intelligence official who requested anonymity told Newsweek, “We’ve crossed the Rubicon.” In emailed responses to questions, he said, “Trump’s army constitutes the greatest threat of violence domestically…politically…that’s the reality and the problem set. That’s what the FBI, as a law enforcement agency, has to deal with. But whether Trump and his supporters are a threat to national security, to the country, whether they represent a threat of civil war? That’s a trickier question. And that’s for the country to deal with, not the FBI.”
The revelations that some Trump supporters are being specifically targeted by the FBI fits with accusations from among them that the Bureau has them in its sights and is the political tool of a repressive deep state in Washington, D.C., bent on preserving the hold of the political establishment at the cost of democracy. . . .
