(13,562 posts)I believe Trump was most likely leaking top secret information while he was in office. Payment could be made in hidden loans or money in offshore accounts. Trump is a crook at heart, and greedy. He will do anything for money, and having had access to some of the top secrets the US has for well over a year, there is no way he resisted the opportunity to monetize that access. Trumps casinos were a high-speed laundromat for laundering Russian money. He has lots of contacts.
This will not only cost our intelligence service millions of dollars to change procedures and people because they will not know what Trump has compromised, it may also shut off some sharing of intelligence from other countries for awhile as they deal with their own potential damagenot to mention threatening the lives of people in the field and potentially for ing the dismantling of networks that took decades to build. I doubt we will ever learn the extent of the fallout from Trumps crimes, but I think it will be very serious.
