Not true. If the EO is declarated under an emergency, (which EO 13848 was) and it involves foreign powers, the Executive branch has huge latatude to go after those actores. Remember DNI, FBI, CIA, are all under his power. If they are compromised (duh) then as commander in chief he can use the military. He can literally get the entire deep state (and the media, and internet ologarts, and financers of misinformation) in a kill shot by taking away finacial support and means to continue operating. But the DNI report is being held up by deep stat rats, and its due Friday. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.
If I'm reading the EO correctly, POTUS can act on reliable reporting from other sources, and it seems Rudy, Sidney, and a number of others have sufficient documentation already.
Hoping to hear "Let's Roll."
