National security professionals have long maintained that large personal debts present a significant counterintelligence risk for those with access to classified information. Donald J. Trump’s current financial and legal woes are “…frightening all around.”

Last year, while under oath, fraudster Donald Trump asserted that he had about $400 million in liquid assets. Plenty to comfortably cover any possible fines mandated by the courts if found guilty. But now it’s time to pay up – and it seems that his cash reserves do not exist. Which oligarchs and/or nefarious individuals will make it rain the dollars needed to fill Trump’s chasm of debt?
In mid-March 2024, Tom Nichols, writer for The Atlantic Daily stated that “The GOP candidate should not be given intelligence briefings” below the all too common headline: “Donald Trump is a National Security Risk.” Really? Who knew that a twice impeached and thrice indicted, incompetent ex-president would still have access to such critical and sensitive information? This guy has proven that secrets can be sold and shared indiscriminately – with justice slow to rein him in.
Sage advice: Stay informed and ready to respond to the right wing’s false factoids! We have one more election—JUST ONE—to stop this calamitous freefall. VOTE BLUE to restore our nation’s integrity and security.
