How would you feel if you found out your elected representative was secretly working for another country's interests?

Depending on the other country's interests. If they are moral and can also somehow benefit the U.S then I would be glad about it. If it was just benefiting the other country and the president then they should be impeached.

About time we shine a light on these traitors selling out our country; national security should be our top priority.

It's about time the government took a serious look into foreign interference, but let's not kid ourselves, this inquiry needs to tread carefully. The last thing we need is a witch hunt that tramples over individual freedoms under the guise of national security. While it's crucial to root out any real threats, we can't allow this to become an excuse for expanding government surveillance or infringing on privacy rights. Hopefully, Commissioner Hogue keeps a balanced perspective and ensures that our liberties aren't the price we pay for security.

Is it more important to protect national security or to ensure public transparency about foreign interference in our government?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Should individuals be punished for seeking personal gain through foreign interference, even if it doesn't harm national security?
