Leaked files from Data Republican expose a plan to turn midterm unrest against Trump, as the Washington Post reports officials advising 10 states. Barbara Boyd on the 2020 rerun and making November 3 too big to rig.
Barbara Boyd opens with Senator Elissa Slotkin’s remarks to University of Chicago students on October 13 about deterring young people from working for the Trump administration, and her background in the intelligence community, the National Security Council and the Pentagon.
The episode follows the files Data Republican has been releasing on X about networks of former national security and USAID officials, including the United Democracy Alliance, National Security Leaders for America, Renew to Thrive and the Horizons Project, and their plans around the midterms, and the Washington Post’s October 20 report that current and former officials with Defense Department experience have been advising officials from 10 states.
It then looks back at the Transition Integrity Project’s war games of June 2020, Susan Rice’s warning to corporations, Lord Palmerston and Giuseppe Mazzini, and Vice President JD Vance on the charge that the President is profiting from his office.
It closes with the Justice Department’s election-crime prosecutions, including 28 people charged in California, the end of USAID, Mike Benz at the Institute of Peace, and making the November 3 midterms too big to rig.
