Trump Had Human, Signals, and FISA Intelligence in an Insecure Room at Mar-a-Lago for a Year

This is my running thread.

1. Would the RTumpster even recognize...

documents discussing "nuclear" anything???

The Atomic Energy Commission, the Federal agency created to manage development,
use, and control of atomic/nuclear energy for military/civilian applications was abolished
by the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974. It was succeeded by the Energy Research
& Development Administration (part of the US Department of Energy) and the US Nuclear
Regulatory Commission. The RTumpster wouldn't care about the history; he'd need someone
to do a serious deep dive to unearth secrets buried in that bureaucratic morass...

If RTump was acquiring and hoarding nuclear secrets, or energy secrets, or defense secrets,
or technology secrets, or any other other secret not directly related to "RTUMP", he had to
have help...

Who were the individuals RTump appointed to man agencies that faltered after his election
because so many people bailed??? The Office of Personnel Management should be able to tell
-- or have those records gone missing, like Secret Service texts???

How many RTump appointees/loyalists had access to materials recovered in the raid
on Merde-a-Lago??? Because, as you know, not just "tiny" fingerprints will be discovered
on those materials...

That is all...

2. Yep

The affidavit argues a search of Mar-a-Lago was necessary due to the highly sensitive material found in the boxes recovered by the National Archives. Of 184 documents marked classified, 25 were at the top secret level, the affidavit says. Some had special markings suggesting they included information from highly sensitive human sources or the collection of electronic “signals” authorized by a special intelligence court.
