Expect Trump's Frivolous Exploitation of the Justice System to Wreck the Midterms Results

His army of corrupt lawyers is ready. He knows he's losing the elections, and he's preparing to unleash his usual bullsh-t of legal challenges and fraudulent maneuvers to impede any smooth transition into the post-midterms phase when he will become a lame senile demented duck.

Ex-Trump Official Warns About 'Messy' Post-Midterms: 'The Signal Has Now Been Sent'

Ex-Trump official Miles Taylor warned Friday that the current midterms fiasco in Alaska is only the start, predicting President Donald Trump and his Department of Justice will launch a "flurry of litigation" to keep non-GOP candidates from power — even if they win.

Taylor was chief of staff to Trump's ex-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen before writing a highly critical anonymous essay in 2018 that led Trump to order an official DOJ investigation into his supposed "treason" in 2025 after Taylor revealed himself as the author.

The former DHS official made his case on MS NOW during an appearance on "On The Line."

"I mean, the signal has now been sent," Taylor said Friday. "Folks have worried about this, and they thought maybe there was a chance that this administration was going to just take some losses the way that you would expect them to take losses in any ordinary time."

He warned, "But that doesn't look like it's going to be the case. I think we're going to have a messy post-election period and potentially a flurry of litigation. And this is the bellwether for exactly that — and that's going to lead people to wonder what happens on Jan. 3."

Taylor made his case amid a contentious Alaska Senate race between Democrat Mary Peltola, dark-horse candidate Dan Sullivan and the GOP incumbent, who is also named Dan Sullivan, prompting Trump's DOJ to file a lawsuit contending the election results should be blocked if the latter loses.

Taylor noted that he doesn't "want" to predict "the nightmare scenario" of Congress refusing to seat rightfully elected non-GOP candidates, but warned that "we are seeing the early signs of a difficult fight" in allowing the democratic midterms process to move forward.

Recent revelations from The New York Times allege Peltola's campaign was involved in a scheme to recruit Sullivan due to his name. The DOJ suit argues this was intended to mislead people trying to vote for the GOP incumbent.

Peltola's campaign and Sullivan have denied the allegations, and a sample of the Alaska midterms ballot shows how minor the apparent confusion could be.

MS NOW senior legal reporter Lisa Rubin argued Friday that the dark-horse candidate's eligibility in the midterms isn't even under question, and said, "Whether or not Daniel J. Sullivan had the right motives in getting on the ballot is not for us to decide."

While the Alaska Division of Elections initially disqualified Sullivan, arguing his candidacy wasn't filed in good faith, an Alaska Superior Court judge overturned that decision in June. The Alaska Supreme Court later ordered that Sullivan be included on the ballot.

"The Alaska Supreme Court has already decided, as a matter of state law and federal Constitution, that he is allowed to be there, and the United States, meaning the Department of Justice, did not seek to intervene in that. This should be game over," Rubin explained.

The senior legal reporter continued Friday, "The question about whether or not he had bad motive doesn't make this actionable under the National Voter Registration Act, the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution — or anything else."
