I think our allies (or former allies) need to assume that we are now a totally compromised country, with a corrupt and traitorous President who will stop at nothing to gain what he imagines to be power and money. They need to stop sharing any intelligence info and regard us as they do Russia. Europe, and all of the other Nato countries need to put together a plan for Ukraine, without our involvement (Trump is doing great harm by trying to negotiate this with Putin) and put to rest any assumptions that the US is working towards any sort of peace or justice for Ukraine. We are going to have to flounder as a country for the next four years and it is unconscionable that we do more harm to other countries under the guise of sharing information. Until we get a majority of resistance in this country to Trump and his criminally inclined administration, nothing is going to change. In two years we may get back the House and Senate, but unless Congress is willing to actually fight Trump and his actions, we will have to navigate our way back to what we have lost as a nation.
The larger issue is that trust will take decades, if not generations to rebuild. The damage done to the intelligence community, the ability to protect our nation is and will be incalculable.
This is what happens when everyone nominated had to pledge loyalty ONLY to a leader. No one else has been nor will be nominated. That is why there is no accountability. Trump voters brought in this despicable personage. Congress voted through these abhorrent nominations. It's not too late for the legislative branch to find whatever backbone there still remains and join the judiciary in halting or stemming the vileness that is spewing out of every government agency.
Senator Cory Booker (D, NJ), in his 25+ hour filibuster made repeated references to this disgraceful and damaging chapter in the failure of the current administration to guard national security and called again and again for Congress to initiate a hearing to determine exactly what happened and what should be done. We need to pressure our elected members of Congress to heed this call.
All accountability deleted means the judiciary will have a difficult time getting the so-called president to stop his horrendous takedown of our government and constitution. And with so many judges aligned with Trump then we middle class or ordinary people have every reason to be upset and frightened at what the Republicans are doing in allowing our country's destruction.
You are so right. It was obvious what the intent was behind the firings of the Inspector Generals ... and the JAG lawyers. DJT and crew want to run roughshod over the democracy, rule if law, Americans in general.
I would very much like to understand who CAN bring charges or open an investigation on SignalGate. Is it just the DOJ and FBI? Can the State Attorney Generals do anything?

I've no doubt that former allies ceased sharing intelligence with the U.S. several weeks ago.
Canada has already said it will not share intelligence with us. Why would they? I saw this coming from the opening gate.

These men (most of them) have no experience in government.
They're businessmen accustomed to privilege.
Rules are meaningless to them.
