    Although it should have ruined his eligibility to be elected.

    Failing that, his party should have kept him off the ballot.

    Failing that, it should have ruined his ability to campaign.

    Failing that it should have meant he was deemed a poor candidate and received few votes.

    Yet here we are with rapists, crooks and fearmongers in control of government with the safeguards removed.

    Remember last time he stole a ton of documents and he kept them at Mar-a-lago?

    Or when he asked for info on US intelligence and all of a sudden Russia caught and vanished a bunch of US spies?

    If those didn’t instantly disqualify him, nothing else will.

      When I worked a clearance job, I was trained and informed that removing classified documents from the SCIF was a felony.

      Turns out that you only see prison time if your net worth is less than a few million.

      I’m not sure which is scarier…

      A US agency that doesn’t tell their boss everything;

      or POTUS that justifies not telling the civilian leadership everything becaus that POTUS would sell out the agents and assets that allow it to operate.

      This, folks, is how the Deep State gets formed.

    Seeing as how the President is still a position that nominally serves the people, honestly we should be told as a nation whether he’s a security threat in our agencies’ assessments.
