Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on Tuesday launched his own version of WikiLeaks, and called on whistleblowers to fill it up with information about the Trump administration.
Dubbed “TrumpiLeaks,” the website seeks to provide a platform for “patriotic Americans in government, law enforcement, or the private sector with knowledge of the crimes, lies, and general misconduct committed by Donald J. Trump and his associates.”
Moore wants whistleblowers to take advantage of the website’s secure methods to share information through encrypted messaging apps like Signal, Perrio and WhatsApp. He has also set up an encrypted email and P.O. box for those looking to remain anonymous rather than going to the post office.
“Donald Trump thinks he’s above the law. He acts like he’s the above the law. He’s STATED that he’s above the law,” Moore wrote in a letter to Huffington Post.
The “Fahrenheit 9/11” director also shared a “four-front” strategy to take down the president.
“1. Mass Citizen Action 2. Take Him To Court Nonstop 3. YOU Run for Office 4. An Army of Satire,” Moore wrote.
Comparing himself to the founding fathers, Moore acknowledged the inherent risks of whistleblowing but is pledging to protect those that provide him with information.
“I know this is risky. I knew we may get in trouble. But too much is at stake to play it safe. And along with the founding fathers, I’ve got your back,” Moore said.
The launch of TrumpiLeaks comes just one day after the Department of Justice announced the arrest of 25-year-old federal contractor Reality Winner, for leaking classified information related to Russia to an online news outlet.
