John,
When it comes to national security, there is no room for ambiguity or half-measures.
That’s why now that Donald Trump is the Republican nominee and facing federal criminal charges for mishandling classified documents, he must be denied access to national security briefings.
The information contained in these briefings is of the highest sensitivity, touching on military capabilities, intelligence operations, and foreign policy strategies. Entrusting this information to someone facing charges of mishandling classified documents is gambling with the safety of our nation and its people.
Trump's 37-count indictment for hoarding classified documents, including nuclear secrets, at Mar-a-Lago and obstructing their retrieval proves without a doubt that he is a clear and present danger to national security.
For the safety of our country and the integrity of our democratic institutions tell U.S. intelligence agencies to take the necessary step of withholding all national security briefings from Donald Trump now.
National security briefings are not a right, they are a privilege granted to those who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to safeguarding our nation's secrets and upholding the highest standards of integrity and responsibility.
To make matters worse, Trump is considering rehiring Paul Manafort, his 2016 campaign chairman who was imprisoned for tax fraud, bank fraud, and illegal foreign lobbying. T
The prospect of a convicted felon like Manafort potentially gaining access to classified material via Trump only proves the urgent need to deny the former president any intelligence briefings.
The bottom line is that Donald Trump has proven that he cannot responsibly handle sensitive national security information.
Tell our intelligence agencies to take a firm stand by denying Donald Trump access to all classified intelligence now.
Thank you for demanding that our government fulfill its duty to protect us by keeping this indicted, reckless ex-president far away from our nation's most sensitive secrets.
