Changing the game
The Guardian says today’s news about the nuclear secrets is a game-changer.
The reported discovery of information about a foreign nation’s nuclear secrets in materials found at Donald Trump’s private residence is horrifying intelligence experts.
…
Shawn Turner, former director of communications for US national intelligence, was searing in his criticism during an interview Wednesday on CNN’s New Day:
The fact we now know there were highly classified, restricted access documents about another country’s nuclear defense capabilities stored at Mar-a-Lago is a gamechanger with regard to the risk it poses to our national security.
…
The bottom line is others are going to look at this information and determine what we know and don’t know, and they’re going to make decisions about their nuclear programs based on that information. And that is an extremely dangerous thing.
But her emails.
Haven’t people been saying, ever since roughly 2015, that such-and-such new revelation about Trump would be a game-changer? And yet, somehow, none of them ended up being so, with the possible exception of the Jan. 6 insurrection (and even then, the Senate voted to acquit him)?
Imagine I take off a “Get Trump” hat and I put on a “National Security” hat. Then I read from The Guardian quoting Shawn Turner, a security professional, with my emphasis:
I read that as security professionals have their hair on fire about a risk to national security, not about “getting” Trump.
