Leon Panetta describes the situation in an interview with the link provided here.
Trump is one worry, and there is another worry that is just as troublesome. Republican members of Congress in the House and Senate are obstructing justice by failing to aggressively pursue apparent violations of the law by cabinet members such as Jeff Sessions and by persons who were members of the Trump campaign. The investigations into Trump's business relationships and the Russians are impeded by politicians who have conflicts of interest. Independent investigators are needed as well as subsequent independent prosecutors should it come to that.
While there is a presumption of innocence, Trump's behavior and words are no secrets. The evidence against him is sourced directly to him.
"Former Defense Secretary Issues URGENT Warning About Trump. Please Listen.
Donald Trump’s Twitter lies and attacks don’t just embarrass the country and distract us from more important issues. According to a former Defense Secretary, they’re also putting our country at risk.
Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta spoke about Trump’s latest Twitter storm on CBS’ Face The Nation this past Sunday. Panetta pointed out that Trump’s temper tantrums put the nation at risk.
“Every time these things happen, every time he tweets, every time these issues come up that indicate that there’s obviously something to this Russian issue and the administration is not cooperating,” Panetta said. “When that happens, when he accuses a past president of wiretapping without any evidence of that being the case, it makes us vulnerable.”

Panetta then continued, “It weakens the United States and it makes us vulnerable to our enemies. That’s the danger.”
