Team —
Several weeks ago, myself and five other Members of Congress with service
and veteran backgrounds made a video directly quoting the Uniform Code of
Military Justice about the military’s responsibility to reject illegal
orders.
In response, President Trump called for my arrest, trial and death by
hanging.
Last week I learned that former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney
for the District of Columbia, asked to interview me.
This is on top of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division’s inquiry at the end
of last year.
As a former CIA officer, I've seen democracies flicker out. I’ve seen what
life is like when a government is rigged. I’ve studied this kind of
political authoritarianism in other countries where you can't criticize
the guys in charge without getting a knock at the door in the middle of
the night.
It’s hard to believe I am talking about it in my own country, and the
knock is happening on my door.
I've always tried to be straight with you in these emails. When these
threats happen, it requires a strategy — because no American wants to live
in a country where the president can weaponize the government against his
perceived enemies.

today will help defend me from these attacks and allow me to keep fighting
to defend our democracy.
