Congressman pinpoints alarming election comment Trump made 'out loud': 'Becomes a crime'

Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) warned this week that President Donald Trump has openly acknowledged directing federal prosecutors to investigate elections whose results he dislikes — a statement the congressman argued the president made plainly and even boasted about."Trump just told the country, out loud, that he picks up the phone and orders federal prosecutors to investigate elections when he does not like how the vote is going," Levin wrote, adding that the president "bragged about it twice this week."According to Levin, Trump described calling a U.S. attorney in California, telling the prosecutor to "do me a favor" and look into a race his preferred candidate was at risk of losing.The congressman then laid out why he sees the claim as baseless. There is no evidence of fraud in California's primary, Levin wrote, noting that even Steve Hilton — the Republican candidate Trump claims to have rescued — said he never heard about any such call. Levin added that Los Angeles County's top elections official stated that no one at the Justice Department had touched their process.Levin attributed the slow count not to fraud but to the thoroughness of California's system, where every registered voter is mailed a ballot, every returned ballot has its signature checked against the voter's file, and late-arriving mail ballots remain valid if postmarked by Election Day."Slow is not fraud," he wrote.Levin said he would support responsible, legal efforts to speed up vote counting through better funding and modernized ballot processing. What he would not accept, he argued, is a president investigating his way to a preferred outcome.The congressman tied the behavior back to 2020, writing that because Trump still can't admit he lost that year, "every election he dislikes becomes a crime in his mind." The post was amplified by political scientist Norman Ornstein.

'I get it now': Anthony Scaramucci reveals epiphany he had thanks to 'not well' Trump

Anthony Scaramucci, who lasted about eleven days as President Donald Trump's communications director in 2017, says he finally understands a children's story that puzzled him as a boy — thanks to the man he once worked for.In a post shared with his followers, the former White House aide turned vocal Trump critic offered a blunt assessment of the president's fitness, writing that Trump "is not well and he's probably too old for the job." Scaramucci acknowledged the line wasn't "politically correct," but argued it was "probably right."The bulk of his post, however, was less about Trump than about everyone around him. Scaramucci described an administration paralyzed by fear, staffed with people afraid of losing their jobs, afraid of being attacked online, and afraid of being primaried by a challenger Trump himself would select to take them out."That's why we're frozen," he said.Then came the epiphany that gives the post its punch. Scaramucci recalled his first-grade teacher reading the class "The Emperor's New Clothes," the fable in which a vain ruler parades naked while terrified subjects pretend to admire his nonexistent garments. As a child, he found the premise absurd, wondering why anyone would go along with such an obvious lie."I'm 62 now," Scaramucci said. "Now I get it."The implication was hard to miss: in Scaramucci's telling, the people surrounding Trump are the courtiers too frightened to say what they plainly see, and Trump is the emperor convinced of his own splendor.Scaramucci has spent years warning about his former boss, but the fable framing casts the dysfunction less as a policy failure than as a psychological one, sustained by everyone too afraid to point it out.
