Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York.

Quote, we are in a moment that will test democracy for the ages.

Those words are from the man who, without even identifying himself at first,

dropped a political bombshell in the form of a warning to the country about Donald Trump that resonates to this hour on this day.

We are talking about the former Trump official who, for a time, was known as anonymous, Miles Taylor.

Today he is filing a complaint asking the inspectors general of the Department

of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to investigate the legality of the executive

order levied against him. Back in April, Donald Trump signed an executive order inside the

Oval Office targeting Taylor and former Trump cybersecurity chief Chris Krebs.

They committed the sin in Donald Trump's eyes of saying that the 2020 election was the, quote,

most secure in history. The executive order revoked their security clearances and tasked officials

with investigating both Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs.

According to Miles Taylor, the complaints are a test case to see whether independent watchdogs,

like the IG's offices, are still actually independent, or that they too have been taken off

the playing field and co-opted and corrupted by Donald J. Trump,

something Taylor has now been warning about publicly at pretty high cost to himself for seven years.

When he first wrote an op-ed in the New York Times as anonymous, Taylor said Trump was amoral,

an impetuous, adversarial, petty,

and anti-democratic. His comments that Trump cabinet members had discussed invoking the

25th Amendment had the entire country, or at least yours truly, Googling exactly how the 25th

amendment would work. It was without a doubt, a political earthquake.

Watch.
