We don’t have that luxury with Trump, who has a pattern of betraying basic standards for loyalty and judgment in his foreign engagements. Now he’s reportedly made a commitment to a foreign power that at least two intelligence officials believe warrants urgent concern.
The president’s broad authorities notwithstanding, he is not entitled to flagrantly betray the basic national interest.
Even Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, who is now refusing to share the details of the complaint with Congress, isn’t disputing its seriousness, rather his authority to act on it given the person in question, who we now know is the president himself.
But it IS the basic constitutional role of Congress to exercise oversight over the president on behalf of the people and it must know what potentially compromising commitments he’s made to foreign powers. That information must be provided in full to Congress one way or another.
Evan, in common terms don’t we call this treason?
He's getting away with it with cover from Barr & the DOJ as well as the rubber stamp of approval from McConnell and the @GOP Senate!!!
Seems that the president *is* “entitled to flagrantly betray the basic national interest.” The legal remedy is impeachment. Since that looks unlikely, trump can keep breaking norms and guidelines that aren’t laws.
