Inside Trump's Plan to Nationalize Elections [View all]

On Monday, Trump told podcaster Dan Bongino that Republicans should nationalize the elections. And now we know that Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is the point person for this assault on democracy.

Her new gig includes a pop-up appearance at an FBI search warrant in Georgia, hanging with agents at the Bureau’s Atlanta field office, and hitting up President Trump on her cell phone so he could thank what must have been a bewildered squad of agents for doing his bidding. Now, with Trump’s declaration to Bongino, it’s clearer than ever that this is all part of a corrupt plan by an authoritarian president to take over our elections.

Gabbard’s been serving as President Trump’s DNI, leading the entire U.S. intelligence community by coordinating foreign intel collection, analysis and counterintelligence across 18 different agencies. As DNI, she’s supposed to ensure the White House receives the most accurate and useful analysis of global developments so policy makers, especially the president, can make smart decisions in the national interest. Yet Gabbard was apparently, in government parlance, under assigned. Now the conspiracy queen with a penchant for dictators seems awfully busy trying to enable a wannabe dictator.

Last week, we learned that the DNI, who has no criminal investigative authority, spent the last several months looking for election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. We’re told that is why she showed up at a Fulton County, Georgia, election facility with the FBI as they executed a court-authorized search to seize all voting ballots and records related to the 2020 presidential election. Understandably, Gabbard’s new gig, and the discovery that Trump ordered her to Atlanta, drew instant concerns and ominous warnings about what this means for the future of free and fair elections America.
