Germany's ambassador to the United States has warned that the incoming Trump administration will rob U.S. law enforcement and the media of their independence and hand big tech companies "co-governing power", according to a confidential document seen by Reuters.
The briefing document, dated Jan. 14 and signed by Ambassador Andreas Michaelis, describes Donald Trump's agenda for his second White House term as one of "maximum disruption" that will bring about "a redefinition of the constitutional order - maximum concentration of power with the president at the expense of Congress and the federal states."
"Basic democratic principles and checks and balances will be largely undermined, the legislature, law enforcement and media will be robbed of their independence and misused as a political arm, Big Tech will be given co-governing power," it says.

The Europeans, who have been subsidized by the US taxpayer for the past 80 years, need to be told a simple response: It ain’t your business, Mister.
The Facist Left around the world is shaking in their boots. Or panties.
Ambassador Andreas Michaelis is worried about not being invited to all those liberal and/or leftist dinner parties that he enjoyed so wonderfully over the past four years.
They do realize that our media has not been free, fair, balanced, or anything like that for over 20 years right? The things that I am starting to see come out from the left is really just astounding how brainwashed for the lack of a better word they actually are
What "independence" would that be? He must mean "Dem-dependence."
Good. Unlike 2017, leakings are not from the Trump camp but from those who are plotting against Trump ...
When Germans make a mistake, it is a big one. Big!
Persona non grata.
Recall this loon .
The Weak kneed Krauts will get the message.
I am reminded of the Zimmerman Telegram.
And who gives a rats behind.
“Germany’s ambassador to the United States has warned that the incoming Trump administration will rob U.S. law enforcement and the media of their independence”
I tend to give people from outside of the US the benefit of the doubt because they’re not immersed in what we have to deal with from the Left and often have limited English capabilities.
But this dude as an Ambassador to the US and if he REALLY CLAIMS that “law enforcement” and the “media” have ANY independence under Biden (at least when it comes to politics), he is flat-out LYING.
My guess is that the Democrats are supplying talking points to him and others like him, and if they are asked some simple questions - like about the Trump case in NY City, they simply have no clue. They just say what they’re asked to say, and then walk away.
He has no clue what he’s talking about.
Send him home.
“The far right is on the march,” Mayor Khan exclaimed. “From Switzerland and Sweden to Hungary, Austria and Italy, European nations are coming under the influence of extreme nativist parties that are hostile to democratic institutions, immigrant populations and fact-based journalism.”
That sounds a whole lot like what this leftist German Ambassador is saying. A pattern emerges.
Remove his credentials. How do you say “next” in German?
“But this dude as an Ambassador to the US and if he REALLY CLAIMS that “law enforcement” and the “media” have ANY independence under Biden (at least when it comes to politics), he is flat-out LYING.”
Exactly correct. Accusing Trump of doing what the left is already doing.
So, is the German being expelled on Tuesday?
Send this ambassador home. He’s not welcome in my country anymore.
