If you watched any of the Senate hearing today on the DOD clusterfck, what was more disturbing for me was the fact the "witnesses" didn't want to talk about it and when they did, the replies were word salad nonsense, skirting accountability. Even worse, Trump has minimized the obvious breach of national security and badmouthed Jeffrey Goldberg.
All of which further exposes the overall incompetence of the Trump administration and his undeniable, inarguable intention to transition our Constitutional Republic to some type of authoritarian or dictatorial regime.

(27,973 posts)It sounds like they have been doing this for 2 months to avoid having to archive everything under the Record Keeping Act.
If documents are subpoenaed they won't have any documents to turn over.

(7,775 posts)This keeps happening because breaking the established processes carries no consequences because there is no enforcement. Start sending people to jail. That wont happen as there is no ethics in government. Oaths are in place but nobody pays attention to the solemn oath they take.

(278 posts)They used Signal so that Putin could be in on the chat. Somebody in the administration is going to spill the beans sooner or later, hopefully before Dumpster Trump declares martial law.

(66,537 posts)They used a platform that allowed them to delete the text exchange. That's a violation of federal law. It means the evidence can't be subpoenaed.
That alone is evidence of deliberate criminality.

(777 posts)"Breach," "incompetence," "indifference." You do realize you're talking about people who are openly Russian assets and have been in full insurrection against the United States for several years running? This is not a government.
They're not merely doing a job poorly. These are deliberate crimes by people who are on the other side of a war against this country's very existence.

(3,767 posts)I've been wondering myself.
Why haven't people been saying that these are acts of Treason.

(777 posts)We should ask prominent figures what line has to be crossed before they'll start using the T word, because it's been an undeniable fact about these bastards for a decade.
It's not like it's a subjective term: It's explicitly defined in the Constitution. As are the offices of the federal government, and a particular type of people (insurrectionists and supporters thereof) who are not allowed to be in them.
This regime is illegal on literally every level. Every...fucking...level.
The individuals in it are barred from office by the Constitution. They are guilty of Treason under the Constitution. They act fully outside the Constitution's definition of the offices they claim to have, and openly violate the rights of Americans defined by that Constitution.
They are not a government, and most certainly not ours.

"All of which further exposes the overall incompetence of a Presidential administration and it's indifference to serious national leadership."
But, I'll edit it to stronger language...
