Donald Trump is in the biggest fight of his life, bigger than the lawsuits, bankruptcies, divorces, and even the Epstein Files. What he fears most is a crushing loss in the midterms. He will use every legal and extralegal means with his hold over the levers of government, the DOJ, and America’s intelligence network to stop this loss.
Trump has stated that he will act alone if the Save America Act is not passed. He’s charged Tulsi Gabbard to find any evidence of fraud or foreign interference in the seized Georgia election ballots and in voting machines from Puerto Rico, but to hedge his bets, an old friend is coming to the rescue.
Peter Ticktin, one of Donald Trump’s oldest friends, is behind the rumored 17-page draft of an executive order for declaring a national emergency before the midterms. He’s been in contact with Michael Flynn, Mike “My Pillow” Lindell, and Patrick Byrne, all of whom played a role in the failed attempt to reverse the result of the 2020 election.
Ticktin is a disbarred lawyer who’s known Trump since the 10th grade, when they both attended the New York Military Academy. Ticktin was Trump’s platoon sergeant. He was suspended from practicing law in 2009 for professional misconduct and then a 2nd time for financial issues. He was ordered to pay $50K in sanctions; his claims concerning the 2020 election were found to be nothing more than political grievances.
He’s a known QAnon devotee who represented Jan 6 rioters, and has worked on many pardon cases in Trump’s 2nd term. He also represented Tina Peters, the Colorado election official who was convicted of election tampering. Trump has been seeking her release from prison and tried to snatch her from the state and into federal custody.
He can be seen on Infowars, on Steve Bannon’s War Room, and on other far-right media outlets.
One other key figure stands out. Jerome Corsi was the originator of the Birther Hoax, trying to prove that Barack Obama was not an American citizen. He’s been reported as trying to shop around the draft of the proposed executive order since July.
Trump has surrounded himself with the Dream Team of election deniers, conspiracy theorists, all in an effort to prevent a massive loss in the Midterms, where the House will fall to democrats and possibly the Senate. He’s rightfully hypothesized that losing one or both houses will sink his presidency and result in a catastrophic, in his mind, blitz of hearings, subpoenas, and possibly charges against many in his cabinet. He will do everything in his power to prevent this.
