Drumpf wasn't impeached *enough* - stopped receiving intel briefings entirely the last month

It was obvious, just from the ceremonial tasks he refused to do (couldn't show his face) and his vendetta style of “diplomacy” and his consorting with dictators – but here’s MORE dereliction of duty, more heavy duty dereliction of tending to national security. Not that he ever grasped the meaning of intel briefings or paid attention to them, but here he was completely abandoning all pretense about them.

And everything we KNOW that he did or didn’t do, it’s all the tip of the iceberg that we DON’T know. But the wingnut zombies just yuck it up and perform their own treason, talking about "populism" and Andrew JACKSON.

Trump Stopped Receiving Intel Briefings Entirely For the Last Month of His Presidency

Former President Donald Trump stopped receiving intelligence briefings entirely a month before the end of his term, according to new information released by the CIA.

In an analysis of Trump’s briefings throughout his presidency, former CIA Inspector General John Helgerson described the 45th president’s tenure as a “unique challenge” for the intelligence community. ....

Then, after leaving for Mar-a-Lago for Christmas on Dec. 23, Trump stopped receiving briefings altogether. ....

“The briefings were to resume on 6 January,” Helgserson continued, “but none were scheduled after the attack on the Capitol.”

He and Kushner would have sold the data to the highest bidder. No doubt they did it multiple times during its 4-year reign of orange terror.

and "intelligence" are two words which should never again be used in the same sentence.

It's actually an oxymoron, like Jumbo Shrimp and Military Intelligence. "Trump" and "Intelligence" are the polar opposites.

about the four years of Intel that he and Jared sold to Putin and other foreign governments thru some back channel......

It is known that Jared went down to the Saudi's with a briefcase, and immediately came back with a 150 million dollar loan that he needed desperately to make a payment on one of his RealEstate mistakes......
