Is it treason to hold back national security information in the President’s daily briefing? I don’t know, but I would love to see a court of law sort that out.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Just The News<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n President Donald Trump on Thursday released a trove <\/a>of declassified intelligence documents that his administration says expose long-suspected vulnerabilities in U.S. election infrastructure, in addition to alarming intelligence pointing to prior administrations’ and officials’ knowledge of such issues that were kept from the president, Congress and the American people.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n “The intelligence community withheld information from his president’s daily brief. That’s a big deal. That’s where the intelligence community gives him the absolute most classified data, what he needs to know for that day, and frankly, during his first term, they withheld it. That is a black mark on the intelligence community,” Rep. Keith Self, R-Tex., told Just The News<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Self continued, “They should be charged because they hold positions of great responsibility, and they have violated our trust. They have violated the actual agreements that they sign when they get that level of classified data, so this is very, very easily charged and indicted.”<\/strong><\/p>\n The materials, posted on the White House website following a prime-time address<\/a>, include assessments indicating that intelligence officials were aware of risks such as outdated software and potential compromises by adversaries like China \u2014 which the documents claim acquired data on millions of American voters \u2014 but did not fully disclose them to the president, Congress or the public.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n What would be the consequences in the private sector of not sharing vital information you were tasked with gathering with the head of the company?<\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n “We all can agree that bureaucrats who manipulate or conceal intelligence from the people\u2019s elected leaders to push their preferred policies or end states cannot keep their jobs in the American people\u2019s Intelligence Community,” he wrote on X. “Those involved, and any who knew and remained silent, must be immediately removed from their positions of trust.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project and a former Senate lawyer, told Just The News<\/em> he believes prosecutions are warranted.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Intelligence analysts “obstructed and they conspired to provide doctored evidence to the President of the United States about a foreign invasion of our elections, and they must be held accountable. They must be arrested. They must be charged. They must be held accountable,” he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n There should be firings and jail time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is it treason to hold back national security information in the President’s daily briefing?
