The Trump Executive Order from September 2018 may now come into play if foreign actors were involved in our 2020 election.

President Trump on September 12, 2018 issued an Executive Order (EO) that covered foreign interference in the US election process. Breitbart reported on the EO when it came out:

Hopefully he can execute this order asap. We already know Dominion Machines were run through servers in foreign countries on election night.

One can look back at a long list of EO by Trump and see that he’s been setting up a game against the Deep State for four years. The trigger hasn’t been pulled yet.

Why?

Because... Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming.

Since the day Trump took office, the stealing of his 2020 election was going to be the final straw for the Deep State.

If what I’ve just written isn’t true, doesn’t come to fruition, then Trump has failed us, failed himself.

With all his resources, all his people, his determination, time, planning.... do you think he’s going to fail?

I don’t.

I keep hearing about this EO. What is the quick and dirty and how will this EO help him?

We already know Dominion Machines were run through servers in foreign countries on election night.

To play devil's advocate, if it was run like a virtual private network, then they'll just appear to be overseas. Whatever servers were being used could have been housed on US soil, but the IP address could be anywhere in the world.

We’re going to take strong action to secure our election systems and the process.
President Donald J. Trump
PROTECTING OUR ELECTIONS: President Donald J. Trump is issuing an Executive Order that will work to respond to and deter foreign attempts to interfere in our elections.

President Trump’s Executive Order “Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election” shows his commitment to protecting our elections.
President Trump is directing the Administration to develop a process, in coordination with State and local officials, for assessing and determining if interference in a United States election occurred.
The Executive Order authorizes action against those determined to have interfered in a United States election, including through:
Sanctions against those determined to have participated in foreign interference in our elections.
Additional measures that would have wide-ranging impact on foreign governments, entities, and individuals who interfere in our elections.
President Trump’s Executive Order mandates interagency reporting of potential foreign interference following each Federal election.
This Executive Order builds on the Administration’s robust efforts to expose, disrupt, and impose costs on those responsible for election interference.
WORKING ACROSS ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT: The Trump Administration is working across all levels of government to help protect America’s elections from foreign interference.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is working with State and local election officials and the private sector to coordinate a response to attempts at election interference.
DHS and election officials across 50 States and 1,100 local jurisdictions formed the Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center to share security information.
The Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is providing DHS with actionable intelligence so State and local officials can strengthen election security.
These efforts build on the Administration’s support to States during past elections and the ongoing 2018 elections.
During 2017, the Administration provided on-site cybersecurity support to States.
A pilot program was launched to help officials at all levels of government share information and rapidly respond to security issues.
STRENGTHENING ELECTION SECURITY EFFORTS: The President and his Administration are working vigilantly to improve and strengthen the security of our elections.

President Trump recently held meetings with the National Security Council in May and July 2018 discussing the Administration’s whole-of-government approach to election security.
In August 2018, DHS hosted the first-ever National Election Cybersecurity Table Top Exercise, focused on improving information sharing and the integration of election security efforts.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are working to investigate and disrupt threats to our election systems and alert potential victims and targets.
DOJ and FBI will host a live Election Day Watch at the FBI’s Strategic Information and Operations Center to monitor and coordinate election-related activities.

Any EO only matters if those who enforce it listen.

Exactly which bureaucracy will help this President?

When the GOP takes back the house (quite possibly in 2022), they should move to cut funding for a large list of agencies.

I don’t think anything else will get their attention.

I think it’s time to put our prayers behind Pres. Trump. He needs all the help from heaven he can get. Win or lose stand by him if he continues to speak truth to power and we will build a Trump Party.

The President just needs to ask senior .gov managers whether they are down for the battle or not.

If they say no—then out they go—immediately.

Easy Peasy.

Pre. Trump does play a long game. Don’t know if he read Sun Tzu, but he sure seems to follow his teachings.

The big deal about the EO from September 2018 is that Trump declared a National Emergency regarding the elections tampering by foreign players and those here in this country who are complicit in providing cover for an election tampering or an attempted coup.

We are still under that National Emergency declaration.

No, Trump wrote this EO by design and declared a National Emergency at the same time, which is still in effect.
