FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: September 4, 2025
Contact: Office of Lieutenant Colonel Naomi R. Bastien (Ret.)
Location: Washington, D.C.
“This Is Not a Campaign. This Is an Operation.”
Statement by Independent Candidate for the U.S. House, Lt. Col. Naomi R. Bastien (Ret.)
“My husband and children are safely abroad. I have sent them there with a heavy heart, because what I am about to do will place a target on my back. That is the cost of duty. I have served this country in uniform for nineteen years. I have led in battle. I have buried soldiers. I have stared down war criminals and walked out alive. I’m not intimidated by Donald J. Trump or the rotting shell of cowardice and corruption that now clings to his name like mildew on the Constitution. I eat men like him for breakfast.”
“Let me be absolutely clear: this is not a protest candidacy. This is not symbolic. I am not asking permission from anyone. This is a breach operation. The rot runs too deep for gradual reform. The old guard won’t clean up its own mess. And yes, I am entering this alone, under 24/7 security detail. I live part-time in a secure foreign embassy for my own protection. I won’t name which one. But make no mistake—I will walk into Congress, and I will carry with me the full force of American law and global justice. I will not be alone.”
ACCOUNTABILITY AGENDA – PHASE ONE
“I am currently in active, confidential dialogue with international legal bodies, including agencies affiliated with The Hague and several national human rights commissions. Upon Donald J. Trump’s removal from office—whether by election, resignation, or constitutional process—I will introduce legislation mandating immediate full-spectrum judicial accountability.”
“This includes the Department of Justice, Office of Special Counsel, and in coordination with international criminal tribunals where jurisdiction applies. The American public deserves to see real consequences, and the international community deserves assurance that the United States is not a lawless empire.”
WHO WILL BE CHARGED?
I have confidence that major components of the following criminal infrastructure can and will be charged, indicted, and prosecuted under existing U.S. and international law:
-
Donald J. Trump – for conspiracy, obstruction, racketeering, election interference, unlawful use of military force, violation of human rights norms, and potentially, treason.
-
The Trump Family – for complicity in financial fraud, obstruction of justice, and participation in racketeering structures masquerading as private businesses.
-
The Trump Organization – under expanded RICO provisions, for decades of financial crimes, money laundering, and fraud.
-
Current and Former Cabinet Members – particularly those tied to border human rights violations, misuse of classified materials, and obstruction of oversight.
-
GOP Elected Officials and Judges – who have knowingly acted to undermine elections, obstruct justice, or facilitate the illegal retention of power.
“We will seek maximum sentences under the law, including for criminal conspiracy, aiding and abetting sedition, dereliction of duty, bribery, and abuse of power. The era of presidential impunity ends here.”
WHY NOW? WHY ME?
“I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican. I am not interested in polite handshakes, closed-door compromises, or soothing language. I’m running for Congress as an independent because the law has been captured, and I aim to retrieve it. What has happened under the Trump regime must become a working exhibit, etched into law school textbooks and history syllabi as a single, final warning: this is what happens when a president betrays the Republic.”
“If we do not act, we normalize this. If we do not prosecute, we guarantee it will happen again—worse, smarter, more terminal.”
NO MORE DELUSIONS
“Do not tell me it is impossible. I have landed helicopters under fire. I have pulled civilians out of mass graves. I have disarmed warlords and been briefed by ICC teams. I know exactly what ‘crimes against humanity’ look like, and they’re not abstract. They are policy choices. They are handshakes. They are memos, meetings, orders, drones, cages, and cash.”
“I’m not here to politely request accountability. I’m here to demand it. And I am not leaving until that demand is met.”
