Upon learning TFG was illegally in possession

[Pantagruel]

of the TS docs, shouldn't the CIA/FBI have put him under full surveillance to protect our national security? Seems to me, not watching him would be a severe dereliction of duty?

[Irish_Dem]

1. I agree.

[Walleye]

2. I have a feeling they did, and they know everything that happened

[BlueIdaho]

3. Agreed.

I suspect he is being fully monitored as any threat to national security would be.

[Pantagruel]

4. Assuming he's being monitored

what if during the course of the communications he commits further crimes or admits to past acts. Can that evidence be used?

[RockRaven]

5. Given the number and careless disorder of the classified stuff, shouldn't they have searched

every other property he's been to since the first time he ever touched a classified document with his grubby little fingers?

[Pantagruel]

6. Exactly and the homes of

his top aides and children.

7. That you don't know if the FBI is surveilling him...

…means the FBI is doing its job right. That agency has its shit together, or at least it does when Trump isn’t running the government into the ground. I figure they’ll work with the Secret Service detail to keep Trump in the US until the day after the election, and then they’ll haul him off.

8. I think we can assume they already have.

But neither he nor we are supposed to know about it.

[Pantagruel]

9. Surveillance of TFG

should have started back in '21, as soon as they knew docs went missing. Doubt they said anything incriminating once this story broke.

10. I suspect...

That he's been watched for a good part of his term as well. Remember Andrew McCabe? Before rump screwed him out of his retirement package, he initiated an investigation into -45 that could not be stopped or tampered with so I'm thinking that is what is blooming like a flower right now with all this coming in. Perhaps there are more than one criminal investigation in progress. I he stated this in interviews and his book many times during the Mueller investigation.

I think that is why he was fired, shitneck found out about the investigation.
