So apparently NATO stopped sharing intelligence with the United States after they intentionally gave Trump fake information which instantly found its way to Vladimir Putin.

"Satchel Paige had a very, very good fastball... but the first time I faced Satchel, he threw me a little breaking ball just to see what I could do, and I hit it off the top of the fence.
I got a double.
When I got to second base, Satchel told the third baseman, 'Let me know when that little boy comes back up.'
Three innings later, I go to kneel down in the on-deck circle and I hear the third baseman say, 'There he is.'
Satch looked at the third baseman, and then he looked at me.
I walk halfway to home plate and he says, 'Little boy.'
I say, 'Yes, sir?' because Satch was much older than I am, so I was trying to show respect.
Satch walked halfway to home plate and said, 'Little boy, I'm not going to trick you.
I'm going to throw you three fastballs and you're going to go sit down'.
And I'm saying in my mind, 'I DOOON'T THINK SOOO.
If Satch threw me three of the same pitch, I'm going to hit it somewhere.
I turned to the catcher and asked, “What does he mean?”
The catcher told me, “He’s going to throw you three fast balls.
Nothing else.”
Satchel threw me two fastballs and I just swung...
I swung right through it....
and the third ball he threw, and I tell people this all the time, he threw the ball and as he let go he said, 'Go sit down.'
This is while the ball was in the air.
Yes, he struck me out with three pitches.
He was just magnificent."

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
I'm going to try, one more time, to explain something:
Due process isn't about protecting the offender. It's about protecting the innocent from false allegations.
EXAMPLE:
If there isn't due process for people who are accused of being here illegally, then the government can call you an illegal immigrant and deport you, and there's nothing you can do about it.
"No but I have proof of citizenship!" you say. You also have no one to show it to. You've already been accused and arrested by agents with a quota to fill, and you're off to be deported. No due process for illegal immigrants, you illegal immigrant you.
Now apply this to any other crime:
You might say "no due process for murderers!" Well now the government can just arrest you for murder and execute you.
"No but I have proof of innocence!" And again, no one to show it to. No due process for murderers! You've been accused, off to the gallows with you, you murderer you.
Again, due process is not about protecting offenders. It's about protecting you.
This is the same government that locked you down, tried to get you fired for not taking a shot, watches your every phone call and message, and takes nearly half of your money every year.
You don't think they're chomping at the bit to just punish you for crimes at will, with no need to actually prove that you did anything?
Please, think.
We have to ask ourselves: If Watergate happened today, would our biggest news outlets be allowed to run the story?
Or would a billionaire owner decide that crossing the administration just isn't worth it for his bottom line?
