This is a good moment to recall that the American Intelligence community early on during the 45th Administration of the White House signaled their distrust of Trump and that they had genuine concerns about sharing any classified information with him.

With that in mind it should be understood that at that point in time the FBI's Counter-Intelligence Division in all likelihood began actively engaging in what is arguably the most important and most secretly conducted Russian Counter-Intelligence operation in the entire history of the USA; which therefore would explain why the Federal Government Justice systems seem to have been taking too long or not enough action against Trump and his cohort Cronies.

I will not be surprised to see more news over the next few months that focuses on Trump's hidden National Security crimes.

Very eloquently written, my friend. We can only hope that there's been some very proactive intelligence agencies doing what's necessary by going after Trump. Trump would sell this country to Russia just to appease Putin. Trump's actions are an invitation for an assassin's bullet. It really is. I absolutely do not condone violence, but the obvious is there by Trump's actions. This guy doesn't know when to quit.

I'm new to this forum so I am interested in getting information from the participants who comment as well Colonel Vindman's information.

I'm gratified to read that perhaps trump's calls to/with Putin may have been taped. It seems that after 9/11 everyone & his uncle could be taped. It's imperative that an ex- president who walked away with classified documents should be watched closely. There is no telling what information he has sold or gifted to any number of our enemies. The man is corrupt & willing to do or say anything to enhance his self-image or increase his wealth or influence. He should be in jail NOT free to speak to Putin at all, let alone in private.

He needs to be prosecuted for crimes against the country.

Please do not forget to hold Woodward accountable for being a national security disaster himself. Did he immediately notify the appropriate departments of what the traitor trump was doing?

Or did they find out as we did - after he waited to publish the information to sell books and feed his own ego? Woodward is a self serving piece of shit.

As an American citizen and a veteran I think both men should face the utmost legal accountability there is for their transgressions and ethical lapses.

Bob Woodward is a big name in Washington, D.C. and has a great reputation. He's been around since Nixon, I believe. He'd be committing "suicide" as a journalist and author of best-selling books if he withheld very sensitive information....to the detriment of this country. Many of us learned from Trump's occupancy in the WH for four years. I'm sure that alphabet agencies have been on him for a very long time. January 6th can NEVER happen again. Otherwise, it would be shame on us. Bob Woodward should know better.

I feel that if the alphabet agencies were truly onto trump he would already be behind bars and most certainly not allowed to run for the Presidency of the country he tried to overthrow with a coup d’etat. We can start with Garland’s complete abdication of his and the DOJ’s responsibilities in holding trump legally accountable for all his criminal actions.

Russia attacked us 1st with the help of DJT, 2016 March rally Russia if you are listening, if you can find the 30k emails etc after he said was a green light that Russia attacked our grid. He was rushed off stage (thinking in my mind the FBI was going to arrest him but instead Manaford was arrested behind the stage) I said to myself why wasn’t he arrested? W_F? I began to wonder why, so I thought okay watch MSNBC (I did religiously everyday to collect information)I even sent President Obama an email to the WH, bc our grid was attacked, I don’t believe he got it) Jan 2017 was a moment but I needed to do something and yes I did well knowing emails weren’t getting through to anyone. With high hopes I called the CIA explained who I am by telling them of my Dad’s service in the Navy and about 3 missions he was on, successful. I asked them to notify President Obama that I requested the CIA to arrest DJT before inauguration. I tried to get ahold of VP Biden then before the electoral ballots were counted but failed to reach him. Russia had attacked 23 state polls. All in all I kept collecting information about the election results, remembering DJT via news witnessed GOP Governors walking into Trump Tower for a meeting. What did he promise them? I can guess. I realized in 2017 that nothing could have been done only a peaceful transfer of power bc GOP controlled Congress. There’s more but not here. DJT put our military in arms way. Our military was ambushed in Africa and the Pentagon wanted answers, the administration refused to answer, more of our military were injured/killed and Russia pd the Taliban to kill 20 of our soldiers and the GOP/DJT said nothing. Our allies the Kurds were slaughtered and our military put to shame. Enough said for now except in 2020 DJT said on the news he welcomed foreign help (not verbatim) in the election.

Stay safe & more but not here.

The Logan Act. Number 5654 on the list of illegal/immoral acts by Trump with the assistance of the Trumplican Party and media.

Who’s to say that Trump hasn’t been coordinating his mis/disinformation campaign with Putin? It is Un-American to post misinformation during a natural disaster. Most Republicans are pushing back against Trump’s lies for their own constituents who have been affected. However, Putin has a record of ruthless, murder and lies to cover up mass murder in his own country. He would know how to advise Trump how to undermine a recovery effort in the United States.

Only someone who would betray our country and our Constitution would take an adversary up on an offer like that to stay out of jail and gain a Presidency.

No cowardly snitch or deplorable traitor compares to Donald. Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames were simply in it for the money; Klaus Fuchs and the Rosenbergs, some sort of wild naïveté in trusting Stalin and the world proletariat. The first two deserved execution. None of them licked the filthy feet of a dictator.
