“in which there was a likelihood of ‘serious damage’ to foreign policy””
Considering that the Official US Foreign Policy seems to be getting into a Nuclear War with Russia, I do think that the US government could make the case that Ritter is (or could be) doing ‘serious damage’ to that objective.
Hate to say it, but if Ritter’s objective is peace in Ukraine, then it’s easy to see how the primary objective of US Foreign Policy, starting World War 3 against Russia, is endangered by Ritter leaving the US.
Ritter’s objective isn’t peace and it isn’t defending the US constitution. He made it pretty clear he is a globalist.
Another item people forget is Ritter found a children’s prison in Iraq and decided not to report it.
He has been acting kind of whacked ever since that find, maybe Primakov has pictures...
