There are 2 troubling things people should understand about all the reporting of Army Secretary Driscoll going to Trump to complain about Hegseth before resigning.

The two most plausible explanations for this most dangerous move are:
1) Trump plans to sell this extremely valuable information to foreign states and make billions and billions.
2)The US is run by an agent of a foreign country that desperately needs this information.
