OPEN LETTER: Concern About Foreign-Funded Influence, Violence, & Constitutional Threats

The orchestrated campaigns of intimidation, vandalism, and violence that we see gripping cities across the
country are anathema to the peaceful, lawful and customary transition from one presidential administration to
the next.
Political discourse, and even expressions of anger and outrage, are protected forms of speech. However,
violence and physical threats against the safety and well-being of citizens, including threats of assassination and
harm against the President-elect and the next First Lady, have no place in American society, where we
periodically settle our differences at the ballot box.
Furthermore, there is a pernicious effort afoot to cast the presidential election outcome in doubt based on a
knowing distortion of the popular vote margin of roughly one million votes enjoyed by Hillary Clinton. There
are two points to make about this above and beyond the fact that the Constitution stipulates that election
victories are won according to the rules of the Electoral College, not the popular vote.
The first point is the likelihood to the point of certainty that a large number of Mrs. Clintons votes were cast by
non-citizens exhorted to vote, shockingly, by President Obama himself. We have data to support this:

Political scientists examining the 2008 presidential election estimated that 1.2 million non-citizens cast
mainly Democratic votes. After eight years of rampant illegal immigration, it is only reasonable to
expect that number to have increased, and

Several U.S. presidents have come to office in Electoral College victories without winning the popular
vote. In the cases of Presidents Woodrow Wilson (1912) and Bill Clinton (1992), their presidential
opponents together won popular vote victories over these Electoral College winners.

During the campaign, candidate Hillary Clinton denounced what she called Russian subversion of the
American political system. There was much discussion of foreign influence on the U.S. government through
donations to the Clinton Foundation and speaking fees to former President Bill Clinton. The FBI briefed both
the Clinton and Trump campaigns to be wary of foreign intelligence assets seeking contact. We share these
concerns that foreign-funded subversion from Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and elsewhere is a grave
matter that fundamentally threatens our Constitutional rule of law.
Foreign powers and subversive domestic groups are funding influence operations to divide our country and
foment chaos and disruption. These groups seeking to erode national sovereignty wish to prevent America from
becoming great again.
We call on President Barack Obama to:

instruct the FBI and CIA to issue unclassified reports on any and all Russian subversion of the 2016
American presidential campaign;

instruct the FBI and CIA to issue unclassified assessments of any and all foreign-funded subversion of
Americas political institutions;

instruct the Department of Justice to issue an unclassified report on the nature and extent of Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) behind the anti-police violence, and the post-election
organized violence and threats of violence;

instruct the Department of Justice to issue an unclassified report that identifies all organizations operating
in this country that seek the overthrow of the Constitution of the United States, and to describe the
measures taken to stop them since 2009.

We also call on the incoming Trump Administration to assemble an interagency task force to investigate the
above concerns, to develop comprehensive means to counter and neutralize them, and to issue annual classified
reports to Congress and unclassified reports for the public.
Furthermore, we urge both houses of the 115th Congress to establish and fund permanent standing committees to
conduct hearings and investigations, take testimony, and issue reports on all foreign-funded influence operations
inside the United States, and on organizations and movements and fraudulent tax-exempt foundations devoted
to the overthrow of the Constitution of the United States.
