Former Intelligence Officer Sue Gordon is on MSNBC with Nicolle Wallace.

[madaboutharry]

She just said that Trump knows so much intelligence that he can basically destroy the whole world.

She has said in a very diplomatic way that Trump has "his own agenda" and all she can do is hope he understands the responsibility of having the information.

Translation by madaboutharry: Trump is insane and we better pray he doesn't blab to our enemies.

Who thinks that horse is already out of the barn?

[moonshinegnomie]

1. he should be locked in the supermax asap

[flashman13]

22. Absolutely

tRump is clinically insane and a massive danger to the country and the world! As far as the documents go, they are long since compromised.

[elleng]

2. Out of the barn.

[Irish_Dem]

16. I agree, the worst has already happened. We just don't know it yet.

[rubbersole]

30. "It will blow the roof off the house"

Might have been an understatement....

[Irish_Dem]

33. I am so not ready to listen to that interview.

[Siwsan]

3. My worry factor has ratcheted up exponentially

I have no doubt that horse is out.

[musclecar6]

4. Well

Judging by January 6 I agree you never know what that loose cannon is liable to do.

[JoanofArgh]

5. That was a good interview. It's scary as hell.

[Raven]

6. That interview was hair-raising, absolutely horrifying. n/t

[sheshe2]

7. There is no barn anymore. nt

[central scrutinizer]

8. I think Jared is the one to watch

Trump is lazy and stupid. Jared is probably setting Trump up for the fall so he can take over the crime empire.

[Irish_Dem]

17. Jared had top clearance, so he was privy to many secrets.

And his constant thought is how to monetize everything.

[JohnnyLib2]

9. I hope we hear more from her.

Excellent interview and she has a broad, somewhat unique perspective.

[Hekate]

15. Yes, I hope to see her back

[allegorical oracle]

10. Listened raptly to her. She scared me. If I interpreted her correctly, she suggested info from

those purloined documents could be "out there" floating around. Nicolle, at that point reacted with, "You just made the hair on my neck stand up." Am thankful that Biden removed djt from getting ex-Presidential briefings.

[Mr. Ected]

11. That horse galloped out of the barn in 2016

Hillary warned us. Anyone paying attention knew.

The right wing trolls didn't care. They wanted someone to "blow it all up". They should have been more specific, because it's granny and Aunt Fae in her stupid red hat that are as much at risk as the rest of us who tried to prevent it all from happening.

[peppertree]

27. Right. They elected him, hoping something awful would happen to those they hated.

And it ended up happening to the country we all love (or should).

[Rebl2]

42. You are

exactly right.

[spanone]

12. That was an amazing interview.

Scary as hell.

[Handler]

40. I agreed a great interview. Nicolle is smart as hell.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. And they let him talk privately to Putin.

What a national security fuck up.

[Hekate]

14. Very good interview indeed....

Hubby came in a bit after it started and when Nicolle would ask a question, he’d say, “She (meaning Sue Gordon) can’t answer that!” to which I’d invariably respond, “She already did — believe me, she did, you just have to read between the lines.”

The entire segment, including afterward with Figliuzzi and Litman, was exceedingly good. If I wasn’t already so informed from reading DU (and linked sources), I’d be swooning on the floor from the shock.

[Irish_Dem]

18. As a superpower, the US is humiliated, distrusted and in great danger.

At home and across the world.

[housecat]

26. We earned it when we allowed tfg to do whatever he wanted

[SheltieLover]

19. Kicking for visibility

[Cozmo]

21. Duty to warn!

[barbtries]

23. i think it's quite likely,

yet no one seems to be talking about that. he's got some here, some there, some in his personal desk...why? what would be the reason for that?

[childfreebychoice]

24. T* isn't smart enough to know which docs to pick, other

Than salacious ones like the one he purports to have against macron...so my bet is that not only are we severely compromised, ppl have been killed, but that Flynn assisted in picking documents. Even with seasoned, rock steady pres Biden at the helm, who will trust us.
An aside, betcha intelligence sent some phony info his way, while in wh, just to see where it would end up, same with jared

[Lonestarblue]

25. That horse left the barn ages ago, and Trump has no sense of responsibility to anyone.

I believe Trump was most likely leaking top secret information while he was in office. Payment could be made in hidden loans or money in offshore accounts. Trump is a crook at heart, and greedy. He will do anything for money, and having had access to some of the top secrets the US has for well over a year, there is no way he resisted the opportunity to monetize that access. Trump’s casinos were a high-speed laundromat for laundering Russian money. He has lots of contacts.

This will not only cost our intelligence service millions of dollars to change procedures and people because they will not know what Trump has compromised, it may also shut off some sharing of intelligence from other countries for awhile as they deal with their own potential damage—not to mention threatening the lives of people in the field and potentially for ing the dismantling of networks that took decades to build. I doubt we will ever learn the extent of the fallout from Trump’s crimes, but I think it will be very serious.

[Katinfl]

28. Very scary

She said in no uncertain terms that there is absolutely no reason for him to have those documents. None, zero, nada, etc. No good will come from this…….that is certain.

[ZonkerHarris]

29. He may have seen secrets but that small mind cannot remember secrets. Thats why he needed

to steal the documents

[gab13by13]

31. Sorry, I missed your thread,

I double posted and I posted the interview right below your thread.

I encourage people who didn't see the interview to check it out.

[paleotn]

32. He's already cashed in on some of it.

[JHB]

34. I'm going to balk at "knows". Had access to? Sure. Stole secret documents about? Boy Howdy, did he!

But "knows"? He may remember something something sorta like thatkindathing, but that howler monkey brain of his only retains details on things that highlight how awesome he is! (in his mind).

[Solly Mack]

35. Anybody else would already be in a cell, incommunicado (pending a trial).

It makes no sense to allow that grave of a threat to national security to remain free to continue to run his mouth unencumbered, causing the danger he presents to grow.

[crickets]

44. I know. It's bonkers, isn't it?

This is why the thought that he can't be touched until after the midterms is so frightening and frustrating. The sooner he's locked up, the better everyone will sleep at night.

Another problem is, there are too many loose ends, too many people involved who helped him steal the documents and who may have helped him stash some of them who knows where. How long will it take the FBI and DOJ to compile evidence for charges against them? Likely way too long to leave tfg free to run around and run his mouth. Can they even find them all?

[samsingh]

36. voters might want to understand this before voting for imbeciles like trump and most of the

republican party in the future

[dlk]

37. Why not build a special prison just for TFG?

We have the resources and considering the threat, it would be worth every penny!

[trof]

38. The man who knew too much.

He is a very dangerous loose cannon.
He needs to be 'sequestered' ASAP.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. She was excellent with how she diplomatically discussed her role there

I can't even imagine what those folks had to deal with. You did have people like Bolton who eventually made a public fuss and was "resigned" ( "fired" ) as the NSA.

[colorado_ufo]

41. Kudos to Nicole Wallace for letting Sue Gordon speak

without interruption; she also asked terrific questions. It was truly a superb interview, and I was so glad that I had the TV tuned to MSNBC.

Ms. Gordon was extremely professional and guarded in her answers, but even so painted a rather bleak picture.

[Handler]

43. I totally agree. MSNBC is my go too. I don't understand the flack they get here.

[Samrob]

45. Why is he still living and breathing outside a jail cell?? nt
