You know, if trump had only complied with legal, law enforcement officers, he would still be alive today.

It's obvious Trump didn't declassify anything because that would instantly make it less cool to have. He took things because they were secret and he wasn't allowed to have them. If they're documents anyone can have they suddenly have very little worth to him.

I honestly think Trump is so blinded by rage and distrust right now that he wanted the affidavit released to see if it would help him figure out who the mole(s) are. Nothing more. It wasn't of any use in that sense so now he's throwing a fit because it was redacted. |

It's an open secret that Trump has always been playing for the other team, the other team being anyone that pays him. He's a traitor and if he's guilty he should be strung up. Anyone who votes third party or Republican is only advocating for the enablement of a shit heads like this. Vote Democrat or don't vote (as your protest). We need as many able bodied Democrats to storm the House and Senate (legally unlike Republicans) and truly take back the U.S. for all Americans (even the shit head Trumpanzees). Republicans are devoid of any idea that doesn't fuck over the middle class, the poor, or the discriminated. They serve rich masters but that isn't the reason for the culture war battles, it is to allow single issue votes who are too selfish to realize that bettering all Americans in some shape or form improves America for everyone. So if the measly $10k loan repayment irks you enough to vote Red, you are a fucking selfish moron then who wasn't going to vote smart anyway. Conservatives (Republicans, Federalist, Trumpanzees, general racists shitheads) want to spite all Americans because if they can hold you to a single issue to vote Red, then they can restrict and enslave the majority because you (i.e. the Republican voter, the third party voter) have allowed them justification to do so. We need to get rid of gerrymandering, we need to hold ALL representatives accountable, we need to find some sort of government that can understand compromise to move legislation forward, this isn't a game. Republicans enjoy the culture war because it affords them to be petty selfish tyrants who can then destroy/restrict our rights. They are evil (not all of them, but most of them). And until Americans bitch slap them into a new reality, they'll continue to destroy America for their rich slave masters. Guys like Newt Gingrich are patently evil. They need to be purged from existence but since I can't do that (God, can you spare a heart attack or two on some of these motherfuckers?), I can only vote Blue and support and fund their campaigns and raise my children to understand how evil Republicans are.

I think the most telling thing about the danger Trump is in is that pretty much no one was outraged at the FBI after the affidavit was released.

Did you not hear every single republican parrot about the large amount of redactions? There was nothing about the accusations within, it was all about why the DOJ felt the need to redact so much and they must all be hiding something. Nearly every single person.

dola: And do we or do we not have a media apparatus in this country? This isn't a rumor. Or an "inside source." This is the former president demanding--unequivocally--to be reinstated or to hold another election.
This should be front page news in every paper. Schumer, McConnell, Pelosi, McCarthy, etc. should all be asked for comment. I suspect it will be buried. |

Remember the incredibly dumb media outlets who bought the narrative that this guy was ready to publicly testify and refute others? Looks like he resigned to avoid having to answer to the IG. Can't compel testimony now. Guessing if he does sit down, he'll just take the 5th.
This should be a massive scandal but it's just another day.

Some documents recovered in the Aug 8 raid were so sensitive that FBI and DOJ counterintelligence personnel attorneys needed additional clearances before they were permitted to review certain documents.
Late Tuesday filing says 100 additional classified documents were recovered.

I did not have security clearance when I was a contractor, but I worked with many people who did. I know it was a big deal and they made it very clear that you would go to prison for having even a single document in your home. Having that many in your home would be life in prison. Not even a question.

They found documents in his personal desk, outside the area they were keeping the other documents. They also have released the original Grand Jury subpoena for the documents, and the signed document from Trump's lawyer that all documents marked classified had been turned over. They also have a picture of the Top Secret/SCI covers sheets. You really can't miss the markings.

What's so bad about that response is that it illustrates the way Trump kept such secret, sensitive documents, and exactly as described by the DOJ - mixed in with personal letters and other stuff. This makes him look worse, even putting aside the "spec of sand" aspect to what they are pointing out amongst the tsunami of top secret documents.

Perhaps, but I also see the RNC isn't paying his legal fees anymore which is also part of the unraveling. You may be true that he won't see the inside of a cell. But I think he's finally jammed himself into a corner he cannot get out of and with TruthSocial being a giant turd, he cannot get the narrative out to everyone like he used to. He may go full tilt and run 3rd party just to keep everyone at bay, but will he win? How will it jibe with GOP candidates in the House and Senate. He has already broken the GOP, will he obliterate it? I also think if any of these documents caused the deaths of CIA operatives and that Trump profited off of it and they can prove it, he won't just see a jail cell, but a noose.

This is what Orange Dipshit is spouting now...thank god he isn't on twitter being a twit and just noise in the echo chamber:
Donald Trump (August 31, 2022) 'Terrible the way the FBI, during the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, threw documents haphazardly all over the floor (perhaps pretending it was me that did it!), and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see. Thought they wanted them kept Secret? Lucky I Declassified!,'

The most obvious thing that comes out of DUJ’s filing is just how much deference they have granted Trump. Far from persecuting him, they have bent over backwards to try to keep this from escalating.

We know, 100%, if the positions were reversed, every single day, trump would have been calling for the DOJ to arrest and jail biden/clinton. It would get aggressive, bullying, and nonstop, and it would be all that the shows on tv covered. It wouldn't be focused on the facts, it just would be the mindless repetition of his words (to his supporters and the public in general) and the talking heads who sat around saying how bad this made the presidency look and how he was such a disgrace, but wouldn't actually have any power to do anything other than that.

I mentioned earlier I had a TS//SCI. It was when I was active duty and worked for the NSA. I said earlier he should go to prison for this and nothing has changed my opinion on it. We did so much training on handling of classified documents that its ingrained into your mind what you can and cannot do. Even with an active clearance when you arrive anywhere new you have to go through the same training and process of confirming your clearance before you are allowed to view anything. Until then you're treated like someone without a clearance. This shit is taken so seriously that anyone claiming Trump isn't in the wrong either has no idea how handling of classified material works or they're just lying for Trump. |

My friend with clearance had a tough to time getting re-certified one time because a Navy friend of his married a Spanish bride. The stuff he has to go through every few years sounds like a PIA.

Yeah, but it has all but eliminated several defenses. If you or I got raided, it likely wouldn't be after weeks/months of wrangling, they would just come and get the shit. And I'd say, "Damn, I didn't even know that was there!" Bending over backwards for Trump makes it impossible for him to make that kind of argument.

Every 5-7 years depending on how deep the backlog is at the time. A friend of mine was denied a renewed clearance because he posted pro-marijuana stuff on a blog. My ex wife was denied hers because she said she drank wine once or twice a week and that qualified as binge drinking by their definition. It's particularly painful when you're active duty because they want addresses for friends/contacts and when you're AD most of those friends and contacts move every 2 years or so and its difficult to keep up. I had to do two follow ups I'm person to clarify answers to some questions and part of maintaining a clearance when working for the NSA requires passing a lie detector. |
