Hall also said that he believes that Trumps open hostility is severely harming the national security of the United States.
A president, after taking the oath of office, is sworn to preserve, protect and defend the United States and its legal system, not undermine it. But according to Hall, Trumps actions, such as possibly sharing information with Russian President Vladimir Putin, have had a very negative, and possibly long lasting, effect on the country.

In addition to that, Hall says that Americas key allies are now very reluctant to share sensitive information with the CIA or other U.S. intelligence agencies. From now on, they will be extremely hesitant to share intelligence due to worries about what Trump will do with the classified information. - PolitiusUSA
In other words, republicans make us less safe. Yeah, the party that "SAYS," boasts and flag waves that they're strong on national defense, is actually killing our relationships with allies and the intelligence trust network we have shared with our allies for decades, thanks to people like Individual-1, the known Russian asset and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Sleep tight.

(22,133 posts)the length and effort his cohorts in Congress have gone to hide the evidence, throw roadblocks into serious investigations, fire personnel that are threats (Comey etc.), meeting w/ numerous Russian personnel before, during and after the election, by himself or via cronies, cast doubt on our in-house intelligence services vs. those of Russian say so (we didn't do anything, etc.), interfere with US elections, and the list keeps going on...
Far too many things going on to be just pure chance. Usually the answer of what's going on is the most obvious one...rump is a Russian stool pigeon, a traitor.
And he'll be announcing another meeting with him to hand over more secrets to him soon I suspect, and to get more orders from him.

(4,305 posts)The day he was elected I thought that he would be giving out secrets like they were m&m's to make himself "look intelligent / important. He may sell some to the highest bidder. He may give them for free. He will make bank on all that he gives away though. Or, to repay his debts he may try to totally crush the country and give New England to Putin, the Southeast to China, the west coast to Saudi and on and on until all his debts are paid.
