How will the intelligence agencies of the United States stop Trump from talking and discussing our secrets after he is voted out of office?

1. They have ways of making you silent

[brush]

27. He'll probably keep selling or trading them for favors from Russia...

and Saudi Arabia like he's always done. Just hope our intel community has been feeding him misinformation they can track.

[onenote]

2. How are they stopping him now?

[louis-t]

9. They don't tell him anything.

They know he'll blab.

[onenote]

49. So why would they start telling him things after he loses?

[lettucebe]

3. We can't believe him; neither can anyone else. Solved

Since he's so stupid, pays no attention to details and basically doesn't care, his information will be sketchy at best. It's never going to be terribly helpful to any other world leader, IMO. His info would always be considered "rumor."

[Patterson]

45. "We have these big ol' invisible missiles."

[niyad]

4. Hmmm,mm,m.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. They can surveil him, gather evidence to prosecute after Jan. 20

Although, as president, technically any info he shares with anyone automatically become declassified, so they may need to gather evidence for information shared after he leaves office. It’s almost a given he will either slip or deliberately sell info after he leaves office, as will Jared.

[dlk]

6. Given Trump's blabbermouth

Who’s to say the IC hasn’t been gently feeding him misinformation all along?

[SheltieLover]

18. That is my hope!

[dlk]

20. Mine, too!

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. He cant remember anything for more than an hour or so, he is really dumb

[LiberalLoner]

11. +1

[moonscape]

44. No, but the family monitizes everything, and

Ivanka and Jared have top security clearances.

[Whyisthisreal]

8. Hope

They charge him before he runs to Russia

[WhiteTara]

10. Solitary confinement might help

with that problem. He can tell all the tales he wants in his 8x12 cell

[keithbvadu2]

26. A cell controlled by Barr.

With roommate removed.

Cameras not working.

Unreliable guards.

[LakeArenal]

39. How would Barr do that?

He’s done Jan 20 and then in a cell with trump.

[keithbvadu2]

42. Yeah! An appointed Barr equivalent with only that one duty.

An appointed Barr equivalent with only that one duty.

Maybe an official that Barr screwed over?

[unblock]

12. and that would be different from what he's doing already how?

i think it's been established that he's let slip some secrets in public, and also to the russians.

certainly we know he's vulnerable to blackmail, willing to pay to keep embarrassing personal information secret, and has had private conversations with putin and has many communication chains to russia and other countries.

[SheltieLover]

15. Let slip? How about served to putin on a gold platter?

Pos it is!

[unblock]

21. Yes, I meant both accidentally in public and deliberately in private.

He's a national security nightmare

Very goebbels that Hillary was defeated at the last minute over a fake national security pseudo-scandal.

[SheltieLover]

22. Sorry, I didn't mean it against you.

Apologies.

He does slip, but also intentionally dishes it up.

Can you even imagine being in intel agency?

[unblock]

34. No worries, my phrasing was unclear, so thanks for clarifying.

Yes, on top of all else, I'm sure donnie has been a disaster for our recruitment efforts. Who would want to spy for us when someone like that could give up your name without a second thought... or even a first...?

[SheltieLover]

38. You weren't unclear at all

My brain just went bonkers.

Very sorry if you took my comment personally. 😔

[empedocles]

13. traitortrulmp need to be in prison - lawyer communications monitored for

national security breaches

[SheltieLover]

14. He already has

I can only hope they have stopped talking to it.

[MagickMuffin]

16. Very Easy: Provide false information

Then we'll know that he is STILL a TRAITOR!

[Shermann]

17. Change the passwords nt

[Cicada]

19. Richard Feynman said all our secrets are known to our opponents within about a year

Feynman opposed classifying information. He said it mainly kept our own people from knowing things useful for our defense but didn’t keep it from those spying on us, since they got it within a year or so.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

46. he also taught himself to pick locks to prove info at los alamos was insecure.

said he was amazed how many combination lock were never changed from the generic 25-50-25. like half of all filing cabinets.

[Tanuki]

23. Not just Trump himself, but also Jared and a host of other disreputable,

self serving scumbags who are in possession of highly privileged information and who would not hesitate to sell out our nation.

[central scrutinizer]

24. He'll trade the nuclear football

For a comfortable dacha and a guaranteed no extradition arrangement.

[CTyankee]

41. I think you're right about that, really. No joke. He'd do it in a minute...

[barbtries]

25. they won't

if he's jailed no problem, otherwise giving him false information is probably the safest route. i hope they've been doing so all along. he's never kept a secret from our adversaries, starting with his meeting in the oval office.

[OneGrassRoot]

28. This may be what Nancy is preparing for...

re 25th Amendment legislation.

[mwooldri]

29. Since Trump is in so much personal debt...

.... once it is clear that he is lost can't we buy him out of the rest of his presidency?

[pandr32]

30. Hopefully he will be held legally accountable for everything

He will spend every dime he still has trying to defend himself.

[Volaris]

31. Cant. If he loses, you can almost certainly bet your ass that

everything will be up for bid...from the WH good silver, to the goddamn NOC List

[Buckeyeblue]

32. It would be interesting to know if they've given him disinformation

Knowing that he would pass it on to Putin. He wouldn't be intuitive enough to ask enough questions to know one way or the other.

[grantcart]

33. Just the begining

How about thousands of pardons to racists and Republicans in prison

Firing thousands of high level bureaucrats

Thousands of executive actions that will create chaos

Contracts for buddies for billions.


Only impeachment and removal will stop him

[Grasswire2]

35. And what about Jared?

You know he has gathered secrets for just that purpose.

[NCjack]

36. We will get a small break in that he was absent or asleep during most of the briefings.

[Turbineguy]

37. I doubt our intel agencies keep him fully informed now.

Unless it's stuff to feed Russia.

[keithbvadu2]

40. Jared thinks that a security clearance is a license to sell our country's secrets.

[Baked Potato]

43. Intel is dynamic and expires quickly.

Trump only knows what he knows at any given time. When he leaves, America will be like a self sealing tire and the hole Trump leaves will be plugged up fast. Trump has probably been fed information with “markers” to enable tracing. America will protect herself and her people.

[AnnieBW]

47. I'm Sure That There's a Plan

There are a lot of very smart people in the Intelligence Community. I'm sure that they have a plan for this.

[FakeNoose]

48. He talks and texts on an unsecure cellphone

Our intelligence community knows exactly what he's saying and texting at all times.

[Denzil_DC]

50. He doesn't keep documentation, shreds it into the trash can as soon as he's looked at it.

He can't remember what lie he told from minute to minute.

Probably not much of a risk.
