Democrats and Republicans are preparing to nominate two known national security risks
BY JOSEPH BOSCO, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 02/13/24 10:01 AM ET
 
Seeing a grown man nearly in tears begging for mercy was a dispiriting experience I had at the Pentagon, when a mid-level officer was imploring Defense Department officials not to destroy his military career because of his inadvertent mishandling of a single classified document.

Yet, top government officials over several administrations have played fast and loose with national security by intentionally misappropriating highly sensitive government materials for their own purposes.


In 2005, Sandy Berger, former President Clinton’s national security adviser, was caught in the National Archives stuffing into his suit pants documents that apparently contained information damaging to Clinton. He pleaded guilty, paid a $10,000 fine, and served no jail time.

An extensive FBI investigation in 2016 found that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had secreted thousands of pages of classified information onto her unauthorized private server, which was open to foreign hacking. FBI Director James Comey decided not to prosecute.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Russia has successfully infultrated the Conservative movement.

The Chi-coms have been giving Dems paper bags full of money since the Clintons.

The RNC and the DNC are the bottlenecks and points of failure in our political system.

Ordinary citizens will need to step up, and run for office.  State parties should prepare themselves to cultivate and support grass-roots candidates at municipal, county, state, and eventually Federal levels.
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview
