Zero harm and ample upside in Democrats calling for impeachments and a special prosecutor. The VP, the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Treasury, the DNI, and the NSC were all involved in the grossly negligent disclosure of specifics on combat operations.
18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

2/These systems seen arcane and technical but are critical to key operations of the federal government -- payment, personnel, and operations. In good times they make the trains run on time, but now they may be exploited for control. The Treasury system = payment.

Jack Posobiec has boosted not one, not two, but *three* Russian intelligence-backed operations. One of them, a website called SouthFront that U.S. Treasury sanctioned in 2021 and said "receives taskings from the FSB," regularly published disinformation on the war in Ukraine.

Seeing a misconception that a government shutdown means the US is out of money; it is not. The Treasury has $851 billion in its account, ready to spend. The shutdown is about lacking *Congressional authority* to spend on discretionary operations. Congress has power of purse.

We have a weak Secretary of the Treasury. No predecessor in that post who would allow the White House, or even the president of the United States, to prowl around the inner workings of the department. Operatives of the executive office of the president have no business in these operations.
1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts.
