The National Security Agency campus in Fort Meade. Let’s not mince words here: The lapse of Section 702 surveillance capabilities, even for a short time, would constitute a full-fledged national security emergency. And what if the House had listened to him on Section 702 and put the United States in a dangerous national security spot? We need Third World countries that we cajole to root out corruption and reform their political system to disregard Trump, who personifies misuse of power for personal gain. We need international entities that we support to ignore Trump’s example and follow rigorous standards to prevent self-dealing, nepotism and other corrupt practices.
