To the Office of Attorney General Garland & the Department of Justice,

I’m writing this letter to ask that Donald Trump be served justice to the
fullest extent. This man appeared to have mishandled documents of critical
importance to our country and broke our security protocols for his own
means. He allegedly took Top Secret and other classified documents to his
poorly guarded home in Mar-A-Lago and a storage facility in Florida. This
is a huge security violation, and he should be held accountable, just like
any other American.

As a veteran of our military, I had to go through an extensive background
check process to gain national security clearance and be trusted with our
national secrets. They checked to make sure I didn’t have a criminal
history, hostile foreign ties or psychological instability. That alone
makes it alarming that someone like our former President bypassed that
process – a man who proved himself to be in egregious violation of
everything a national security clearance requires.

National security clearance, as folks like me know, is something that we
are entrusted by the nation we have sworn to protect. When we gain our
clearance, we do so with the recognition that if we reveal those secrets,
our country has the right to punish us. This is a status we must bear in
good faith and good will for America. Any one of us knows that
imprisonment is a possibility for breaking our oath.

Which is why we’re angry that our former President Trump thinks he is
above the law. How many thousands of us are true to our word? My fellow
vets and I served this country through far more treacherous situations
than any he’s ever been in. We’re sworn to our country, so we understand
the gravity of these secrets. We’re loyal, unlike our former President.

Trump needs to be held accountable. Anyone who hoards national security
secrets in violation of security clearance regulations and laws commits a
shocking violation of our nation’s integrity. If we as a country allow
even one person to be above the law, how can we expect to hold anyone
accountable? Our nation’s secrets would all be in jeopardy if we cannot
hold Trump accountable.

Even now, more and more information continues to come out from the January
6th Committee and their testimonies. Recently, it was divulged that Mark
Meadows regularly burned documents in fireplaces prior to the transition
into the new administration.

That’s why I’m calling the public to action. We want to see Trump held
responsible for his apparent gross violations of our national security. We
want to know that our discretion was not for nothing – that we protected
our country, as best we could. This government trusted those of us who've
held security clearances with her secrets, and myself and the public hope
that, in turn, we can trust the Department of Justice to pursue justice.

In Dedicated Service,
Major Richard Ojeda, USA (Ret.)
