Established by congress as an independent not for profit group. USIP is a congressionally chartered nonprofit. It is NOT a federal agency It is NOT a part of the executive branch. funded directly by congress with an independent board in no way, shape, or form related to the executive branch DOGE and FBI used DC police to forcefully remove employees and takeover a private, not for profit business set up to prevent conflict and gave DOGE access to all of their data and case files. No court order needed Are we still in America? DOGE raid of Institute of Peace was 'illegal takeover': Reps Musk’s team allegedly called Washington, D.C., police to assist in the “takeover” and remove Moose, as well as several others, who were declared unlawful entrants by DOGE and cops. An executive order issued by President Trump on Feb. 19 lists the USIP as one of four U.S. entities being “eliminated to maximum extent consistent with applicable law” as a way to “reduce the performance” and cut government costs. “We had not expected that the FBI would succeed in enlisting the support and collaboration of the District of Columbia police, with whom we have had a great relationship,” Moose told CNN. “Somehow, FBI has managed to convince the D.C. police that this is a building that is owned by the U.S. government and not by the U.S. Institute of Peace.” Founded by Congress in 1984, the USIP describes itself online as a “nonpartisan, independent organization” dedicated to protecting U.S. interests. “Our work helps keep America safe, reducing the risk that the United States will be drawn into costly foreign wars that drive terrorism, criminal gangs and migration,” the institute says. “The employees of our building are not federal employees, executive branch employees,” Moose told reporters Monday after leaving the USIP building, according to local NBC affiliate WRC. “They are employees of the institute. We have our own, separate board; we have our own bypass authority to go directly to Congress in order to get our money.”
FBI sending agents to the homes of the USID security guards to warn them that they were coming and not to get in the way from same article Colin O’Brien, chief of security for USIP, told CNN that the FBI notified him over the weekend that DOGE would be attempting to enter the USIP building. He said one of his security officers was even visited at his home by two FBI agents. ........................................
^ This post couldn’t have been orchestrated more cleverly. I see “US Institute for Peace” under which I see a blank screen.
At least it's interesting to see how many Trumppublicans witness this vile criminality and simply avert their gaze and move along.
just starting will the house join the executive branch and flout the judicial branch? national strike? trump give when push comes to shove andhope he broke enough things in the process?
