Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

The CIA chief is reporting that the United States has paused intelligence support to Ukraine –

We share the same future.
Our allies are not going to be sharing intelligence with us. Aligned with Russia, with compromised FBI and CIA heads, we can no longer be trusted.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

Nothing says “lead the Pentagon” like mommy making phone calls for her very good boy.
