Homeland Security Concerned Over “Chatter” About Trump Being Reinstated in August

  29 Jun 2021   ,

Homeland security officials say they are worried about the growing chatter among conspiracy theorists about President Trump somehow being reinstalled as president in August. With no logical reason as to how or why this could occur, the Department of Homeland Security fears violence and reprisals by fringe elements on the right when such a reinstatement of the former president does not happen.

The idea has been floated by people close to the former president, including Sidney Powell, an attorney who is being sued over her claims that Mr. Trump was cheated out of re-election by a conspiracy involving the operators of voting machines and communist leaders in Venezuela, and Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO, who is also facing legal action for a series of far-fetched claims about the 2020 vote.

Former President Trump himself apparently believes that he will somehow be reinstated in August, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, although it is unclear why.

Mr. Lindell suggested the former president may have settled on the idea because he had heard others – including him – saying it publicly. While the theory has been largely dismissed as the latest in a series of substance-free predictions of the sort pushed by QAnon, reporting by Politico suggests it is being treated seriously by some within the Department of Homeland Security.

The outlet says John Cohen, a top counter-intelligence official, was asked about the August theory during a private conversation with members of Congress. He apparently said there was “serious concern” over the prediction because it feeds into the false narrative that the election was stolen from Trump and therefore raises fears of another violent reaction by his supporters.

However, Politico says that Cohen had no intelligence on any “specific” or “credible” threats of violence linked to the conspiracy theory, just a gut feeling.

In a statement to The Independent, a DHS spokesperson said, “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is focused on the nexus between violence and extremist ideologies, as well as hateful and false narratives. DHS is enhancing its ability to prevent acts of violence inspired by disinformation, conspiracy theories, and extremist narratives spread through social media and other online platforms.”

Meanwhile, Trump officially returned to the campaign trail for the first of his signature, raucous rallies since leaving the White House. The first event was held on Saturday evening in the town of Wellington, Ohio, southwest of Cleveland, and marked the start of a multi-state tour that will feature a trip to the US-Mexico border and a rally in the former president’s new home state of Florida.

At the rally, Trump attacked Anthony Gonzalez, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted for his second impeachment and backed his primary challenger, former White House aide Max Miller. He condemned what he called “woke” generals and said he was “ashamed” of the Supreme Court – three of whose nine justices he nominated – for not helping him overturn his electoral defeat to Joe Biden.

  1. When the author started editorializing and sensationalizing in the first couple paragraphs, I stopped reading. Report the news, the facts, and let the rest of us decide what is “far fetched”.

  2. Wouldn’t it be better to be “worried” about the violence and riots going on in the present – by Antifa and the BLM – the “possible” “violence and reprisals by fringe elements on the right” that “might” happen in August? So far, I don’t remember reading or hearing of any “violence and reprisals by fringe elements on the right” unless you want to count January 6, and it appears that a lot of that was Antifa and BLM people also.

    1. I got an Idea, How about Homeland Security, Translation,”The Globalist enforcement arm,-” Get their selves down to the Border and stop[ the over 3000 Combat divisions(10,000 personnel per division,) of Unidentified foreign nationals that have been crossing our border.

  3. Isn’t it very obvious that there was massive voting fraud in this past election! Biden couldn’t get 25 people at a rally, how would he win an election? Wake up Washington, start thinking about who you work for and are supposed to represent. Stop the march toward Communism and start getting back to our American values like freedom, liberty etc. and support the Constitution of the United States that you so solemnly swore to. Semper-Fi.

  4. I thought they are still investigating the election votes in all the key states. Where did the machines go? Doesn’t any of that matter? So he’s not going to have a chance to be President in August? Bummer. We need him back and biden didn’t fairly win. Period. Amen

  5. I find it interesting that articles of this nature refer to the idea of a stolen election as a “false narrative”. Evidence is being gathered of numerous very questionable voting activities in multiple locations but that evidence has never been presented and examined in a court of law. All people should want and demand a fair and honest election. If there is documented evidence of wrong doing then that must be acknowledged and corrected. WE MUST IN FACT HAVE FAIR AND HONEST ELECTIONS OR THIS COUNTRY WILL FALL. Just saying that the election was fair and honest does not make it so. Let the evidence speak for itself.

  6. The only way Biden is leaving office by August is if he is deemed unfit for office, he dies while he is in office or he steps down and gives it to harris….impeachment will not pass with our present Congress…..Trump may win in.2024 but Biden is in.office until a new election is done ….
    As much as we wish Trump could take control of the Whitehouse it just is not the case.

  8. Ass Face is Psycho and getting more and more frail everyday physically and mentally

  10. Is Homeland Security that stupid ,or are they bought off, to not see what occurred last November? Or are they part of the plan to make this The USSA?

  13. Article has a biased slant to it. There is plenty of proof of a fraudulent election. However once Biden was sworn in nothing can change his presidency per constitution unfortunately. We will have to put up with a senile old man and his communist colleagues

    1. If enough audits show enough fraud electors can be withdrawn by those states enough to get Biden below 320 he’s not President and vote goes to house. Each state gets one vote.26 red states 24 blue states. Trump reinstated.Biden And everything he did would be moot. Square one.

  14. I do not think Trump will be back in August but some way, any way, the piece of crap VP must be removed.

  15. There is no Constitutional process for that; PENCE insured that! He blocked the last recourse we had to prevent a Constitutional crisis when the roof mlm of cheating IS revealed, with the help of several states’ governors & Chief Justice Roberts! So, ollectively they with Biden are responsible for the destruction on-going!

    1. Sandra,
      You are totally devoid of what is legal. The Insurrection Act was enacted before President Trump left office and the military, NOT anyone else, has the COMPLETE authority, under the CONSTITUTION to remove the unelected POS in the White House. Remember, President Trump NEVER conceded and the reason was because HE DIDN’T LOOSE. He knows it and even the socialist demoRATS know it.

    2. What destruction there Sandra . Do you mean all the blocks to what President Biden would like to see happen in this country . But because of the LOSSER republican’s nothing can get dune . That is the destruction .

    5. If SCOTUS agrees to hear Mike Lindell’s evidence as per his 4 documentaries Trump will be reinstated. Since that evidence meets SCOTUS criteria it should be heard. Fingers crossed.

  16. Where was Homeland “Security” while the election was taking place? Why did they not look into boxes of ballots being pulled from underneath tables? Why weren’t poll shutdowns in the middle of the night investigated? There are a thousand reasons why this whole election should be investigated, but it won’t happen through the government. Why? Because the fix was in from day one! It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to see any of this! Welcome to the Criminalocracy!

    1. So SO SO sad just because the election did not turn out the way you think it should . It must have been fixed . There are millions and millions and millions to be exact over seven million people with a brain that voted the right way to give this country a chance to come back from the hell we were in thanks to TRUMP!!!

    2. You are a blithering idiot!!! Trump lost the election fair and square!!! And then tried to stop his removal with the Jan 6 insurrection and feed the lies to idiots called poor boys to start a coup which he fueled with blatant lies! How do you know when Trump lies? His lips are moving!!!!!!!! Donald J Trump deserves only one thing!!! A trip to sing sing prison!!!!!!!! He’s a crook who deserves nothing more than 3 meals a day and a cell in prison!!!!! And no white collar prison!!!

    5. Barr, was instructed not to interfere with the election. Obviously, he was either threatened by the Democrats or paid substantial money not to interfere. That is a proven fact with the proof on a recording made of a telephone call.

    6. Yes, Marxists have come forward in full measure and the American culture is under full assault! Decency and love of country are being squelched for Komradship. If this goes on much longer the US ship of state will sink…

  17. The real issue in this article points to the DHS playing political sides. Listen to the language used, the remarks, the people they are attributed to. You have to be concerned that many agencies, departments are choosing sides. Important elements of our government. So, is it them or their leadership? I suspect it is a mixture. God save us.

  18. if the audits uncover enough proof that the states being audited did not actually have as many votes as stated for biden and the actual vote for that state should have been for trump-that states electoral votes will go to trump in a
    new certification-I believe there are 2 amendments to the constitution that cover something like this-
    WHICH IS ONE REASON THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE FURIOUSLY TRYING TO RIP UP THE CONSTITUTION ALA PELOSI-
    IF ENOUG STATES DECERTIFY BIDEN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE COULD PETITION THE SUPREME COURT TO DECLARE THE ELECTION OF 2020 NULL AND VOID AND DECLARE FOR A NEW ELECTION -THEREBY PUTTING TRUMP BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE SINCE HE WAS THE PRESIDENT PRIOR TO THE FRAUDULENT ELECTION-

      1. We can just pray that will be accomplished, as Biden and Harris are destroying our country.

  19. ATTENTION –HOMELAND SECURITY–IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THREATS OF VIOLENCE –LOOK AT –
    ANTIFA
    BLM
    NANCY PELOSI-AND THE CRIMINALCRATS ET AL

  20. BEFORE TRUMP, THE BIGGEST CRIME IN U.S. HISTORY WAS KENNEDY DEFEATING NIXON IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE OF 1961. THE STATE OF ILLINOIS MADE THAT HAPPEN. BIDEN BEATING TRUMP IN THE 2020 PRES. ELECTION WAS MUCH BIGGER BECAUSE OF THE 5 OR 6 STATES THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE MANIPULATION OF VOTES THAT WERE NOT LEGALLY CAST.

  21. Chatter is something little squirrels do…. There is no way in the universe that DT will be reinstated ever….he is more likely to be in jail for his many grievous crimes. The truth is he lost Big Time. Get over it Donald…deal with your life. you had your chance and you rode the mule of sedition, deceit and Disrespect for America and what has made us great….you re not needed.

  22. Oh, HE’S COMING BACK!!
    Just ask yourself, who controls the military? It sure isn’t Joe Biden!!
    Wake up people!!!
    Enjoy the show!!!?
    Plus he’s bringing 100 million PATRIOTS with him!!!!

    1. One of the few comments that makes any sense at all!!!!!!!!!!! They appear to think that Trump is God and are real confused, obviously!

  24. Yes, this much election cheating and fraud has never been caught before, so it could be overturned because Biden did not win, Trump won the legitimate votes. Forget the past, new rules and consequences must be made for these circumstances. We currently have an illegal politician in for Pres. And for V. P., and this must be rectified and corrected.

      2. There are Demorats, just like you that are trying to bring socialism into our Country, which I fought to protect our freedom. I doubt you have ever been in the service.

      3. Sorry, you imbecilic moron, He didn’t win and that is the problem..8O MILLION VOTES hahahaha couldn’t even get 80 Thousand votes, on his best day….

      4. Tom Foolery you are just that…a fool! Biden didn’t get more LEGITIMATE votes than Trump’s 75mm. Trump garnered more votes than Biden’s boss Obama and Biden didn’t even have Obama’s endorsement! Biden SLEPT in his basement and couldn’t muster the energy to run a campaign! The MSM is WOKE and have trampled on citizens 1st Amendment rights to free speech! This whole charade is CRIMINAL and a push to convert USA into MARXISM. Wake up America!

  25. The right is not your worry, idiot FEDS! You should be looking at the cheating democRATS! They are ushering in socialism/communism and you damn idiots are paving the way. The cia, fbi and nsa are jokes. Everyone of these agencies are crooked as hell. It’s them you should be investigating and worried about. You have your priorities all SCREWED UP!

  26. Since my eighty- forth birthday falls on August 16th, That would be a super happy birthday for me and my family. However, If this is not possible and I do think it’s a little early I do believe he will be back in early September.

    1. I’m 81 and would think you would be wiser at your age. Bt the way it is “eighty fourth”! One goes forth….

  27. It would be great to have Timp back. He would stop the horror going on in D.C. I especially afraid of that shallow slut, kamala Harris. She would sell us totally out to the commies!!

    1. Correct your own mistakes before criticizing others Tom –

      What does “Bt the way …” mean?
      What is a “Presidebt Biden”?
      What is a “presidebnt”?
      “So sad tha he …”

      81 yrs. dumb!

  29. Department of Homeland Security is enhancing it’s ability to censor what we can see… sounds very unamerican to me. Also very illegal under our laws.

  30. Most of us already know the truth. Not conspiracy theory but facts. The facts will soon be revealed. Do what you want, Homeland Security, but the truth always comes out. Maybe not imminently, but the truth WILL come out.

  31. It has never happened in the history of our government that a sitting president was removed because of fraudulent
    votes and I do not see that happening in this case. There must be a process involved and very accurate proof of
    fraudulence having occured and to assure that the votes for Trump would be larger than those for Biden and he
    wins the electoral votes. I do believe that false voting did occur in this election and mostly because of mail-in
    voting. For Trump’s sake and ease of mind. it would be nice to have this situation come to light and proof found
    of wrong doing with the votes. But the Democrats do not want this to happen.

  32. I could see it…
    What if irrefutable proof of election fraud manifests and elements of the federal govt REFUSE to acknowledge it or act on it? Refuse to remove Biden?
    Then what? Are the people going to allow the federal govt to blatantly screw us this way? Allow illegal usurpers to continue to make communist laws and inroads into our constitutional republic?
    Folks need to begin doing some real soul searching here, and decide WHAT THEY WANT TO DO…. WHAT HAPPENS IF GOVT IGNORES THE RESULTS??? WHAT THEN?
    That’s the only question that matters at this juncture. How far are we willing to go in a worst case scenario?
    Fact… If the rule of law no longer applies to these people, then by default? The rule of law no longer applies to US either….

  33. It is my hope that when the dust all settles from the forensic audit of the election results is finished, that either there is an immediate new election scheduled or President Trump in placed back in the White House, if not, the country will not last until the 2024 election to get rid of President Biden. The US is now the laughing stock of all the countries, we are in last place because we have a mentally sick President which our congress has gone along with the fake election, with Pelosi being the head of this conspiracy, because she had vowed while President Trump was still in office, she would see that he was not re-elected for a second term no matter what she had to do. She tried every crooked method she could conjure up, the impeachments, based on false accusations and when they failed to get him out of the office, she was desperate and the rest is history. We have got to have someone with a sound mind, back in charge of our country, and they will not be Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or Nancy Pelosi.

  35. those crafty democrats were slick, they appeared as stupid, but they seemed to accomplish the take over, and destruction of democracy , I fear we’re done for, God help us.

  37. Dream on. There are not enough honest Supreme Court Justices for Trump to be reinstated. He will have to win at the polls by a lopsided amount to become President ever again. Satan is in control until Michael defeats him on behalf of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

  38. Wow- I got more out of the 3 comments detailing 1)A good Pence opinion 2) our last recourse to prevent a Constitutional crisis getting blocked & 3) a “1000 reasons why this whole election should be investigated”
    than I got out of this article. Yeah it clues us that many agencies may still be infiltrated. Or it points out that media is still working together to spin narratives, but not much else. DJT is NOT pushing this theory. He could well be enjoying trolling the deep state – not because he is a prankster but because the more stable sector of American citizenry is discernible by the fact they still have a sense of humor. Conversely, the prototypical woke-joke is what used to be defined as a square trying desperately to seem ?. Funny really.

  39. I’m concerned about the people who are concerned Trump cannot be reinstated. The plain bare facts he can be. First he didn’t concede. 2nd. By the constitution there can’t be a midterm election. 3rd Who ever thinks that there can be, better open up the scrolls, And do a legal examination of the laws. 2020 is disputed, And a multitude of Americans know this.IT WILL BE REJECTED UNTIL 2020 RESOLVE. IF NOT IT WILL PROVE INJUSTICE IN SUPREME COURTS. THE ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW SO MUCH THAT THEY CANT BE REMOVED

  40. Please cite the specific constitional amendments, I need them for a presentation to potential President Trump supporters.

  41. I gotta hand it to you Tom the way you handled these commenters. Its like responding to a machine programmed to zeros and ones. One thing I would mention though, they keep talking about the 70 million Trump patriots but nothing about the 80 million who said not so fast bozos. Trump would have won with the 70 million votes ordinarily but this election was not ordinary, so 80 million of us turned out to counter the rise. I am not worried about violence because they are all a bunch of pussies and cowards. Would they have stormed the capitol if they knew they would be met with angry antifa and BLM protesters? Where were they during the marches? I didnt see one red hat when a thousand angry George Floyd protesters were demonstrating their anger No Tom it wouldnt be like back in the lynching days where blacks were out numbered twenty to one..No sir on a one to one basis they would hurry home to mama..Dear Trumpers, friendly advice here dont attempt it, this time you wouldnt be able to riot and return home to brag. You may not have a home to return to. You see we are liberated now and have the advantage of being united with the rest of the country.. You are not up against minorities. More whites are realizing we are all God’s children and justice will prevail..If you are in doubt go back to the videos of the George Floyds marches and check out the diversity..In some areas whites outnumbered the blacks..What I’m saying is dont be surprised if you see your brother pointing a gun at you…Feel how you want to feel but remember its just a feeling..
