"How is any foreign intelligence service supposed to trust us" ever again?

[intrepidity]

This is perhaps the most important issue that The Indictment raises. I can't even imagine how our allies are handling this. On one hand, I have to believe that they've been aware of this--if not the exact details, at least the broad outline--for quite some time. On the other, the thought that they are just now learning about it is equally unsettling. Either way, a sacred trust has been severely violated--and in the most grotesque way: by the very 'tippy top' level of our government. It's just ... I can't even.

How is any foreign intelligence service supposed to trust us to keep information confidential, to protect its methods of collecting our enemies' secrets or the identity of its sources?

1. They would be foolish to share very sensitive info.

2. Yep. "Fool me once..." nt

3. There is no way they will trust us again.

4. I suppose it's possible they lost that trust long ago

The bipolar nature of our politics must set their teeth on edge.

6. The fact that we don't punish wealthy white men for crimes in this country is ridiculous

5. This has been an ongoing concern since the first days of the reign of terror,

otherwise known as the previous "administration", with the first pics of TRAITOR** with lavrov, the dining room incident, and the Israeli photo.

8. When people ask "Why did he do this?"

Who benefits from this loss of trust?
