Leaking secrets

-

To The Editor:

I find it very disturbing that the FBI would arrest a twenty five year old female patriot and veteran claiming that she leaked secret documents concerning Russia hacking into voting machines in several states across the U.S. The young woman worked for a private company. She did not work for the government. The documents were about Russia hacking into voting machines during the presidenti­al election. Now tell me what is secret about that. The young woman should receive a medal (otherwise the American people would never have known the cover-up by the FBI) instead of being arrested by Donald Trump’s FBI. All that is about is Trump trying to discourage people in private companies from leaking informatio­n about the Trump/Russia connection that private companies are trying to help Trump to hide. The only people that wanted to keep the proof that Russia hacked into our voting machines are the Trump people. Republican­s and Trump are praising those who leaked informatio­n about Mrs. Clinton. Now the shoe is on the other foot. It don’t feel so good.

That young woman worked for a private company, there was nothing secret about the informatio­n she put out into public news. She should not have been arrested, that is another example of how far Trump will go to protect his Russian buddy. The worst that can happen is the company fire the young lady Trump and his FBI need to stop the bull, trying to scare people from coming forward to

expose his crimes with his Russian partners.

American will never be America again. Whether Trump stay or go, the damage has been done. The Republican­s schemed and tolerated Trump’s bad behavior before Russia elected him, but they did not realize he is just standing in for Putin. All of Trump’s decisions have been what Putin has advocated for the past ten years. Now he is getting them accomplish­ed through Trump. Instead of Republican­s trying to come together and try and correct the mistake, they

are doubling down to make it look like Trump is doing great.

If those self serving hypocrites in congress do not come to the rescue of that young woman that the FBI has arrested on false pretense, then America is no longer America and there is no land of the free and justice is whatever the crooks in power say it to be. Trump is harassing that young woman. Her lawyer will probably sue. Trump and the FBI do not have a legal leg to stand on.

Who do you think should be arrested? The young woman that leaked informatio­n about Russia hacking our voting machines or the person that told the secret locations of our

nuclear submarines to a foreign government in a public setting.
