It’s absolutely insane that we have a former President showing off some of the most classified information just for clout.
I think that it will be years before we really understand the full impact of this. What he’s shown people and what adversaries have access to now.
He deserves to be in ADX Florence for the rest of his life.
I would be happy with consequences.
I hope the consequences aren't just a slap on the wrist if they do happen. That would almost be worse than no consequences because then he gets off with almost no punishment but gets to play the victim card with his followers even more.
The fact that he was caught doing it so casually to someone for no benefit without a second thought indicates to me that he definitely profited off of it too.
He definitely didnt take all this information because he's a big history buff or a big reader. Those two are laughable traits, thus financially benefiting is the only aspect that fits.
