 | | | | 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. | | I recently 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. | | So please: split a contribution between Catherine Cortez Masto and my campaign today to help defend me from these attacks and allow me to keep fighting to defend our democracy. | | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Elissa Slotkin and Catherine Cortez Masto will go through immediately: | | More soon, | | Elissa | | | |
