"He is going to die in jail" So said former National Security Agency employee, John Schindler back in 2017.

You think the people in those agencies have forgotten? He is fucking with people on the side of the Potomac he shouldn't really fuck with (By that I mean the Pentagon and the big building in Langley).
Does anyone actually think that Trumpy trying to set up what appears he is trying to set up will go over very well with the actual patriots in those agencies?
The "Deep State" he and Hannity and the rest have railed against for years amounts to career public servants who take the IDEA that is the United States VERY seriously.
In other words, the people he fears most are actually the good guys, on the side of normalcy instead of chaos. They will defend how things have been done for decades and what Trumpy is trying to pull off is not going to go down the way he thinks it will.
Of this I am convinced.
He is pissing off the wrong people.
This will not end well for Donald Trumpy

(24,368 posts)There are specific consequences for him if he violates his secrecy oath, and I guarantee you he took one. Even though it is within the power of the president to de-classify any classified material he wants, there is a line/limit to that.
He can't broadcast the location of a Nuclear Submarine on patrol, for instance, without consequence. Such an action is treasonous.
What I am saying is that there are career people who have worked for decades in these various agencies who take the national security of this country very seriously, and I just don't think they will tolerate their life's work being fucked with by a known liar and a loser of an election.

(28,979 posts)Ha. We have seen how this has worked.
Sadly, I have very little faith in some old guard ready to spring into action to stop him.
