Is this purely hyperbolic headlining or something to take more seriously. Nothing feels safe or normal anymore.
"Former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor sounded the alarm Thursday over what he warned was an imminent scheme to hijack the midterm vote an alleged plot that at its center is President Donald Trumps boyhood pal.
The boyhood pal in question is Peter Ticktin, an 80-year-old Florida lawyer who first met Trump in the 1950s at the New York Military Academy. Ticktin was in the Oval Office as recently as last week according to Taylor, and has vigorously pushed Trump to declare a national emergency over unsubstantiated claims of foreign election interference in the 2020 election.
Ticktin insists the proof of the grand conspiracy is coming any day now, once [Venezuelan President] Nicolás Maduro starts talking from federal custody. And some have speculated that the Trump administration is trying to induce the Venezuelan leader to go along with such an admission in exchange for leniency, Taylor wrote in an analysis published on his Substack Thursday."

'Election deniers think Maduros capture will expose plot to steal 2020 vote'
"When President Donald Trump authorized an overnight military action Saturday in Venezuela to capture Nicolás Maduro, he said the goal was to bring the Venezuelan leader to the United States to stand trial on drug trafficking charges and to take control of the countrys oil fields."
"But some prominent far-right figures as well as a top U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) official are suggesting Trump actually captured Maduro for another reason: Because the Venezuelan strongman has key evidence to support a fringe conspiracy theory that his country helped voting machine companies rig the 2020 election."
