After I posted this, I thought I should have mentioned the concept of ‘need to know’ but didn’t get back to add it so thank you, James. This is crucial. This bloke had absolutely NO need to know under any circumstances.
Spot on. Not that it will make any difference to Trump's millions of brainwashed followers. I hope Jack Smith charges him here, too. This guy needs to be in prison for so many reasons, not potentially again the Oval Office. As president again, he can finish selling us out for fun and profit, all because he gives millions permission to say the quiet part out loud.
We're supposed to go to the Power Boat show, and while I want rain, I'd also like a lovely weekend to browse boats.
On Trump and sharing information, consider this is information he shared freely with a member of his club, one that had no need to know, nor probably any real desire other than curiousity. I'm curious, too, about our capabilities there. I know many nuclear submariners. Not once have I, or would I, ask "how close were you", "what's the most dangerous thing you've done?" (I suspect the answer to the latter was diving inside bilges in the dark to clean them out, but, there may be worse things.) Now let's imagine the commercial and foreign power interests - the Saudi's who want nuclear energy, the Chinese who want to know our capabilities, the folks who want to know our plans related to defending allies, or disrupting adversaries, or even waging war, and more. Think about some of his family members who have gotten money directly from the Saudi investment fund. Think about the things we know, even if not all the details, and tell me it isn't likely he shared information with any and all of them for his own monetary gain?
This is a person who has no business walking free where he can share more information. He's a danger to our national security, far more than some of the others who were locked up for disclosing, hoarding, or mishandling our national secrets. Horrifying.
I figure every single reminder has the opportunity to change someone’s ignorance of his crimes. Thank you
