Frank Figliuzzi says that counter intelligence risks don't go away when Drumpf loses

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by applegrove (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Nicole Wallace show

Just now heard former FBI Frank Figliuzzi saying that if Drumpf loses in Nov, that the counter intelligence risk does not go away - like the information Drumpf now has - nuclear info, bunker info, pentagon info, US's secrets, etc. He as a retired fake Prez will have all this secret info as well as his grifter family!!!

I didn't think of that!!!

You can be sure that he sells secrets to other nations, the FBI counter intelligence will be all too happy to nail him.

I’m sure both have documented and recorded unimaginable secrets. And they’ll sell every US national security secret they can to foreign powers. It’s amount the money with grifters. And they can always flee to Russia to avoid prosecution. Now that the NYT has published this damaging tax information, it would not surprise me to see Trump leave the country before his presidency ends if he cannot steal the election.

If he paid attention at all. One of the first acts of Biden should be to cancel all of his clearances and classified briefings. He barely paid attention while in office, he surely doesn't need them in retirement.

He's had the highest level daily security briefings for almost 5 years. Recall his meeting with the Russian Ambassador before the Comey firing. This is difficult for the country.

Some time back, Dolt45 had them cut the President’s Daily Brief (PDB) from daily to about weekly. Plus, he barely pays attention to, much less understands what is presented, according to those who are there. And then, because of the risk of him yapping to the Russians, et al, the Intelligence Community is careful about what they actually put in the brief.

His SS detail is a law that doesn't mean he gets to hear about anything in the government and I would think it would be pretty easy to create an executive order stopping anyone from telling him anything.

even now. I'm not worried about what he will tell, but at what he's already told. Reports already suggest our intelligence agencies cherry pick what they will and will not tell Donnie Two Scoops. I'm more concerned with the unqualified mooks he's placed in Federal service who took the jobs and by doing so already exhibited a tendency to the crooked.

My 30yr veteran of the CIA wife thinks there is serious but limited exposure from Trump.

have we ever had an ex-president who has been arrested, charged and found guilty of felony charges? Surely there will be something in place to protect America from someone who has known ties to Russia. I just don't think that they are going to give someone that information for life if they are convicted of the crimes that he may be convicted of.

He will be watched and investigated for the rest of his life, as will his family. There will be absolute cause and he can rant about it all he wants, he will be powerless to stop it. There will be repercussions for his actions while in office.

He exposed the weakness in our government that has never been exposed before because there was a respect, even reverence for America. All that changed with him. Now it's time to patch up the holes so this never happens again, and to make sure that he is never again able to create the nightmare we have lived through for the past four years.

We better have learned something.

i gotta figure Putin already has that laundry list of information and more
plus there are likely to be many more Russian-allied spies integrated seamlessly into our intelligence services providing all kinds of interesting content for years to come, and they'll be planting a wide variety of uniquely valuable software throughout the government's computer systems.

nothing short of a full purge gets us back on secure footing

though we know Drumpf and his family were using personal phones, personal emails - at various unsecure places like Mar-A-Lago dump, and other places. they were having Chinese prez, other prezs at mar-a-lago where spies could listen in on the conversations, including the phones.
