'Sounds a lot like sedition': Former USAID crew allegedly planning 'sabotage' of U.S. government

USAID workers for years have handed out billions of U.S. tax dollars to other nations, their programs, their politicians, their agendas.

Some were completely off-base when it came to U.S. interests and some simply were in support of the ideologies of the USAID.

Now, under President Trump, multiple thousands of USAID workers are now ex-employees, with the official closure of the agency just days ago and a few jobs considered important transferred to the State department, with a few hundred leftover workers.

But among those thousands, now, apparently is a contingent planning to sabotage the United States.

U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt, a Republican from Missouri, paraphrased the intent: "If you stop letting us run America, we'll start a color revolution and overthrow your democratically elected government." He added, "These people are making the case for their own firing better than we ever could."

It was at Twitchy that the plans were noted.

"Some of the democracy-building experts President Donald Trump fired this year from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department are now reapplying the skills and knowledge they built up over decades to undermine Trump's power," it said. "For years, these officials were stationed across the globe actively supporting opposition movements in autocratic nations. Now they've got time, a network of former colleagues and a growing sense of moral indignation."

One said, in an interview with NOTUS, "Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We've become one. They were so quick to disband AID, the group that supposedly instigates color revolutions. But they've done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population. If you kept our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office, it might have been safer to keep your regime."

Twitchy noted, "That sounds a lot like sedition, a lot like a direct threat, and a lot like someone who belongs in a jail cell, not in an office at Foggy Bottom."

One observer suggested maybe not everything being planned is serious.
