Donald Trump was arrested for Intelligence crimes after he left office…
He has a track record of blabbering top secret stuff in public….
Biden used intelligence info IN helping his American Foreign Policy….
Trump just uses it for ‘HIS’ personal ends…..
Which was why the Intelligence Communbity NEVER trusted him during his first term in office….
