Transition Integrity Project Founder Calls for the Execution of Former Trump Official

Headlines Politics U.S.

Nils Gilman, the founder of the “bipartisan” Transition Integrity Project called for the execution of a former Trump administration official after that official, Michael Anton, wrote critically of the group’s recent post-election “war-games.”

The TIP purports to be an independent, non-partisan group dedicated to the peaceful transition of power between presidential administrations in the 2020 election. It recently telegraphed plans however, to use mass protests to force degradations in Constitutional norms, including admitting Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico as states, and doing away with the Electoral College.

Anton wrote critically of those plans.

For that, Gilman said Anton deserved the same fate as Robert Brasillach, a French author and journalist who was executed in 1944 for advancing Nazi collaborationism and anti-Semitism during World War II.

The execution, rather than lifetime imprisonment, was highly controversial at the time, because it related to intellectual crimes as opposed to military or political crimes.
