Summary of "Intel Expert WARNS of Trump WAR PLOT to STEAL ELECTION"
Context and claim
Host Ken Harbaugh opens from the Midas Touch Network during “day five” of a U.S.–Iran conflict and warns the Trump administration has shifted rationales for military action frequently. He highlights a Truth Social post by Donald Trump that frames Iranian attacks as retaliation for past alleged election interference — a link Harbaugh and his guest argue is being used to justify extraordinary domestic powers.
The Truth Social post and related messaging are being presented as part of a rationale to claim foreign interference and invoke emergency authorities.
Core allegation — a blueprint to subvert elections
Harbaugh and guest Denver Wleman say a leaked 17‑page “blueprint” and a draft executive order, prepared by people close to Trump, would be used to claim foreign interference and thereby invoke national‑emergency/insurrection authorities. According to them, that would permit actions such as:
- Seizure or nationalization of election equipment and assets
- Targeted suspension or alteration of voting in specific counties/districts
- Use of extraordinary steps aimed at flipping results in close races
They argue this would be a tactical repeat of the post‑2020 playbook.
Mechanisms described
Denver outlines how the draft executive order itself even carries an EO number and would rely on:
- EO 13848 (the 2018 national‑emergency order on foreign interference)
- Intelligence‑agency findings framed to assert an “unusual and extraordinary threat”
- Lawfare and manufactured forensic claims presented as evidence
- DNI involvement and coordinated domestic/military actions focused on selected swing jurisdictions rather than uniformly across all 50 states
They emphasize there is no forensic evidence that voting machines were remotely compromised in 2020, yet the plan allegedly contemplates using such claims to justify emergency measures.
Institutional risks and likely tactics
Both speakers express alarm about weakened institutional checks and predict several aggressive tactics:
- Erosion or hesitancy of congressional and judicial checks, and reluctance from law enforcement
- Post‑midterm litigation by far‑right lawyers using fabricated or misleading data
- Repeat “cyber‑ninja” style audits and targeted legal maneuvers to disenfranchise voters
- An administration willing to act first under executive authority and “litigate later,” potentially ignoring court orders
They identify the risk as targeted actions on swing jurisdictions rather than broad, transparent measures.
Remedies and closing advice
The hosts stress last‑line defenses and practical steps:
- Last‑line defenses: oath‑keeping public servants (they cite an ICE whistleblower’s courage) and overwhelming civic participation
- Practical suggestions to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience:
- Register to vote and ensure registration details are up to date
- Turn out in large numbers so margins are too large to effectively contest
- Take administrative steps (Ken mentions getting a passport) to reduce procedural obstacles to voting
- Plan for worst‑case scenarios while hoping institutions and conscience prevail
They urge preparation and vigilance while relying on conscience and institutional oath‑keepers.
