Every spy on Earth knows what's in these boxes. Why won't our government let us know?
It baffles me why Democrats and the media are ignoring the most devastating act of Espionage in US history, by a long shot. The timeline of Trumps Mar-a-Lago mishandling of classified documents is a series of inexplicably indifferent decisions to protect our national interest.
snip//
So...to recap: at least 337 Top Secret and Secret records, normally stored in many the most heavily guarded SCIFs in the country, were left sitting at Trumps open clubhouse - in a bathroom, on a ballroom stage, his office, and a storeroom. Is there ANY doubt that Russia, and likely EVERY other spy agency on Earth, has that intel? Mr. and Mrs. Smith just had to reserve a room, flash some cash, and at night, visit the storeroom stashes. To say nothing of any compromised employees among the hundreds that were employed, or even guests to MAL events.
Moreover, the FBI apparently hasnt even bothered to make sure they recovered all classified records in Trumps possession:
-Two locked, secret rooms at MAL were not even searched,
-Trump flew 10-15 boxes to Bedminster, loaded out the back as the FBI was walking in the front,
-There were multiple empty folders, the contents of which may be permanently unknown,
-The 10-inch binder of the Mueller / Steele contacts, sources and assets, is missing. Hutchinson said she last saw it with Mark Meadows as they were leaving on Dec. 20 (the CIA noticed that many of USs European assets and sources are going missing, which started soon after one of Trumps private meetings with Putin)

But as for the FBI, DOJ, the Biden Administration, and Intelligence Committee Democrats: Is the reason none of them are discussing the damage Trump caused to our national security...is because the damage is SO devastating, SO complete, that if the truth was ever known, no country or foreign official would EVER trust us, or work with US Intelligence ever again? We MUST assume that every agent and source in those documents has been compromised. Did Trump expose our ENTIRE covert intelligence network? And was the reason just petty revenge for America making him a loser? Not re-elect ME? Ill show you, America! Accusing me of working for Russia and taking foreign money? (I did, but Im Trump!) This will teach you!
As for getting answers: The now indefinitely stalled MAL documents trial would not give us these answers anyway. We voters have a right to know the extent of the damage he caused and threat he poses. Someone should inform America, optics be damned, that If Trump is re-elected, his retribution will be a fire sale on US secrets.

If Trump wins this Fall, much of intelligence sharing among our allies will cease.

No doubt in my mind. It probably still does from TFG. GOP intransigence re: funding Ukraine doesn't help, either.

That's assuming the information contained hadn't already been sold before Trump took them.
