Veterans are appalled at security violations set out in the Trump indictment
By Gene Jones, President, Florida Veterans for Common Sense
As veterans we are appalled at the indictment of the MAGA leader that reveals violations of basic security protocols. Many of us have had the responsibility of working with classified information. In that regard, we were all aware of the consequences to our country of not following the rules to safeguard the information. In some cases, violations could result in compatriots’ deaths, or damage the national security.
Many of these documents are highly sensitive. They include 31 Confidential, 54 Secret, and 17 Top Secret documents. The Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Defense, National Security Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, Department of Energy, and Department of State Bureau of Intelligence and Research produced these documents. A veritable who’s who of U.S. Intelligence Agencies.
In addition, there are personal risks for not following the security rules. Long prison sentences await the lawbreakers.
Conclusion:
A grand jury has found that there is probable cause that the allegations of the indictment are true. If any of the indictment allegations are proved beyond a reasonable doubt, Trump should spend time in prison like any other lawbreaker who has put our national security at risk.
