Frank Figliuzzi, a former assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, said Trump's attacks on democracy should not be allowed to stand.
President Donald Trump is a threat to U.S. democracy and a man who abuses power and behaves as though he is king, a former top FBI official has said.
He said that in no time in history has a president so brazenly dismissed the other branches of U.S. government—by repeatedly ignoring subpoena requests required for oversight, for example—and that the House and Senate have more than enough evidence to impeach."We don't have three branches of equal government right now," Figliuzzi said.
The former FBI special agent said such attacks on U.S. democracy must not be accepted, adding that the alternative would leave the country irrevocably changed. "The temperature is approaching the boiling point with regard to our democracy and we either lower the temperature or jump out of the pot. The way this is headed is that we're either going to have another president soon or we are going to have another form of democracy. We are literally watching our democracy change in front of our eyes."
