John -
Last week, the FBI's Counterterrorism Division appeared to open an inquiry
into me in response to a video the President did not like.
In that video, I directly quoted the Uniform Code of Military Justice
alongside five other Members of Congress with service and veteran
backgrounds. Officers and enlisted personnel in our military are trained
to follow lawful orders, and refuse to follow illegal orders. It’s part of
the training. This has been the case since World War II.
Since then, the President has misquoted me, and then called for my arrest,
trial, and death by hanging. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has
threatened my friend, Senator Mark Kelly, with court-martial. And now, it
appears the president has directed the FBI to target the rest of us.
This is exactly why we made that video in the first place.
President Trump believes in weaponizing the federal government against his
perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet.
He uses legal harassment as an intimidation tactic to scare people out of
speaking up. He’s done it to law firms, universities, private sector
companies, and private individuals.
But these kinds of tactics won’t work on me. And neither will the total
wave of death threats, bomb threats, and general harassment he
has unleashed.
I have always worked to be upfront and honest in these emails. This latest
news from the FBI means that I have had to start thinking through a legal
defense strategy – and we do not know exactly where President Trump and
his Department of Justice will take this inquiry. And for the time being,
all of that planning is being paid for through campaign dollars.

To be frank, the whole thing isn’t about one line from one video. The
events of the last week do not represent the country we know and love.
But Blue Amp Action and I can’t do this alone.
Thank you for reading — and thank you in advance for your help.
