The Trump administration hit four New York Times journalists with subpoenas on Friday, after the outlet published a story outlining risks involving President Trump's Qatar-gifted Air Force One plane that recently entered into service.

The Times reported that the refurbished jet lacked some of the advanced security measures of the older aircraft used to transport the president.

President Trump on Friday claimed he has left instructions to bomb Iran "at levels that they've never seen before" should Tehran assassinate him.

"I've been on their list for a long time. That's what we're dealing with," he told the New York Post. "The only thing is, I've left instructions " if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they've never seen before."

The interview comes a day after The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel recently shared intelligence with the U.S. indicating a new plot from Iran to assassinate Trump.

"Former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, who took over the department after the resignation of Attorney General Bill Barr on December 14, 2020, testified that Trump contacted him "virtually every day" to request that the DOJ do more to "investigate election fraud," including by appointing a special counsel and pursuing Supreme Court litigation.

Trump also wanted the department to promote his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud by sending letters to six state legislatures urging them to overturn the election results.

According to the testimony of former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, Trump requested that the DOJ seize voting machines from state governments and implored the department "to say [the election] was corrupt."

Both Rosen and Donoghue further testified that Jeffrey Clark, the head of the department's energy and natural resources division who began having direct contact with the president, asked them to sign one of the letters he and another DOJ attorney, Ken Klukowski, had drafted, recommending that the Georgia legislature overturn the state's certified election results.

The letter, which former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone reportedly dismissed as a "murder-suicide pact," is the subject of a disciplinary case before the D.C. bar. (Clark is also the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation.)

Trump's campaign to involve the DOJ in his effort to overturn the election culminated in a brazen effort to replace Rosen with Clark as acting attorney general, which appears to have been foiled only when Rosen, Donoghue, and other DOJ officials met with the president at the White House and threatened to resign."

You only 'know' what the Cult tells you.

I would definitely send them to bed with no dinner if they did that... but I'm listening to an argument at The Enforcer that the response to Iran assassinating DJT should or should not be nuking Iran.

Definitely no dinner!

But then, considering Shady would be the President, perhaps we should force them to take Marco Rubio offa our hands.

He would LOVE being the Napoleon of Iran!

"Colin P. Clarke of the Soufan Center, who has testified before Congress as an expert witness on terrorism, told the Post,

"This is the politicization of intelligence, and it's dangerous because what they're doing is basically playing partisan politics with counterterrorism, and only looking at a sliver of the overall threat."

Even more troubling, the Trump administration's push to link "antifa" to international terrorism is coming from counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka.

Gorka is a longtime Trump cheerleader and former conservative media figure with a history of promoting extremism.

He is a former Fox News contributor who was a member of a Hungarian group designated as Nazi-allied by the U.S. government during World War II.

Gorka previously complained about the Department of Homeland Security warning about violence from the extremist right-wing sovereign citizen movement and was fired from the FBI for Islamophobic rhetoric.

In one memorable comment in 2017, Gorka claimed that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had committed treasonous acts and said she should face similar consequences to spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who "got the chair."

"Yet while Trump and his team have singled out purported violence from the left, they have given official blessings and support to right-wing terrorism.

For instance, former leader of the right-wing Proud Boys militia movement Enrique Tarrio was convicted of sedition against the government for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol " and Trump pardoned him.

Unable to silence domestic dissent, Trump is trying to get the world to give him a boost.

But it doesn't appear to be working."

"We'll explain what these claims are all about and why experts say they are misleading.

A statement signed by more than 300 historians who study genocide, Nazism and World War II said Putin's rhetoric about de-Nazifying fascists among Ukraine's elected leadership is "propaganda."
