Still, there really isn't all that much we, the people, can do to help Jack Smith or any of the other prosecutors do their jobs any quicker or any better. Our job rests outside the halls of justice in the court of public opinion.
Pursuant to that, the ongoing Trump-spawned info crisis ought to be promoted to become a much-discussed political issue in 2023. Making that happen should be a high priority for Democrats. Good messaging on this front will lead to election day victories.
Obviously, some of the USA's top secret geopolitical information has been dealt with recklessly. We're just beginning to learn the true extent of the exposure. No one will be much surprised to hear tomorrow that yet another stash of Trump's "boxes" has been found where it ought not to be.
Moreover, we're still guessing why Trump has coveted possession of the particular forbidden material he has been schlepping around and hiding. That's a mystery that may be solved by some crackerjack investigative journalists before Jack Smith's busy team can get around to it.
When it comes to securing top secrets, America's government can't afford to be seen as butterfingered. Thus, the Biden administration has some work to do, in order to restore allies' belief that in D.C. sensitive information can be protected.
Which means catching and punishing all the malfeasors of this classified boxes scandal is vital. Calling it a "scandal" is a bull's-eye. However, at this point the most important thing we, the democracy-advocates, can do concerning state secrets will be to make damn sure Trump and his sleazy accomplices never enter the White House again.
To stiff-arm the fascism threat in the USA, Trump's worshipers, who are candidates at any level, must be defeated on election day. No matter the outcomes in the courts in New York, Miami, Georgia and D.C., losing in the court of public opinion must be avoided.
Bumper sticker: Secrets aren't safe in MAGA world.
