The only secrets in Washington are the information withheld from the American people by their elected representatives and unaccountable bureaucrats. Foreign nations, members of the press, personal attorneys for DC players, government contractors, and large tech firms all have virtually unfettered access to the “secrets”.
The events of the past three years demonstrate clearly classification of information by government figures has nothing to do with national security. It is all about concealing political agendas and person power games from the people. Perhaps time to declassify all information held by the government. The Chinese, Iranians, Russians, Israelis, Brits and other foreign actors no doubt obtain anything they want from spy networks, leaking holders of “secrets”, and traitors.
The truly sad part is at this late date we can’t “root out the corruption”. It’s so wide once we started there would be nothing left.
