If Mango Mussolini did indeed sell secrets to the Saudis and Russians, he had help. And I

suspect Flynn was involved. He'd know what would fetch top dollar, as opposed to his dumbass boss. I really wish the Army would recall that POS to active duty, court-martial him, and throw him into Leavenworth for several decades.

This story is dated Feb. 19, 2019, 11:02 AM EST! trump was still in OUR White House then. I wonder if he was testing the waters for what kind of market this stuff potentially had.

He was “still considering“ it, the story said. Maybe when he had to vacate the White House that locked his decision in - to do it. Out of spite.

If the transfer didn't take place through this scheme in this article, maybe Trump and Jared just sequestered the documents in the residence and took it to MaraLoco and then SOLD IT TO THE SAUDIS from there?? Hmmmm?

Imagine how busy that filthy auto-kleptocratic criminal was, and who and how he profited from it all -- our nation's secrets!

Imagine his co-conspirators, not just Flynn, who joined him in existentially threatening the United States to shuffle some quid pro quo out of it!

We'll find out by 3 pm tomorrow, but if there were ever the potential case for treason, this is it!

material "upstairs" for all those years. Where was Cipollone when trump just "declassified" stuff? Where was Cipollone while trump had his people loading 27 boxes onto trucks as he was moving out of the WH?

Cipollone's got some 'splainin' to do, imo.

Flynn and Kushner are obvious, but who else? Bolton has been in the news and demanding Biden to kill off negotiations with Iran. Saudi Arabia getting nukes would change the calculus of the Mid-east.

Russia? They play both sides. Mid-east cold war benefits them no matter what.
