Our own Congress cannot be trusted to protect state secrets. That is not an opinion. That is a demonstrated fact.

President Trump is being scolded for not briefing Congress before moving to forcibly arrest Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. Apparently, national security now requires a group chat. Let us count. There are 535 members of Congress. Each one drags along a small army of staffers, interns, aides, consultants, and political parasites. That is not oversight. That is a leak factory. A disturbing number of these people have zero loyalty to the citizens they claim to represent. They swear an oath to the Constitution, then spend their careers trying to carve loopholes through it with a dull spoon. If hypocrisy were fuel, Congress could power the grid. The brutal truth is this. Some members of Congress would sell classified information for a headline, a cable news appearance, or a friendly nod from a foreign adversary. They are not worried about protecting America. They are worried about protecting their ideology. You do not brief people who cannot wait to betray you.
