In fact I see no clubs anywhere. What is Trump and his henchman up to?

(26,214 posts)making sure that everyone's story is coordinated, or he is arranging a quick trade of additional documents at his other properties before they can be found. Or both.
Whatever the case, it looks like his arrival in DC wearing golf clothes was a suspiciously conspicuous attempt to advertise that he was there only to play golf. I suspect the DOJ, FBI, and CIA are not gullible enough to be taken in by such an obvious ruse.
Irish_Dem
(81,769 posts)If the FBI, CIA, etc need some help we are on top of things.
Really I am wondering if Trump isn't yanking us all around a bit right now.
Doing some play acting, who knows?
Yes usually suspects in a crime ring will want to get their stories straight, split the loot,
make escape plans, hide the loot or sell it quickly, etc.
Typical stuff.
Since Nunes and McCarthy are present, I am wondering if Trump is fishing for info about the J6 Committee.
Or asking for help.

CottonBear
(21,615 posts)I would imagine that none of them have a cell phone, smart watch, or any kind of smart device on them, though. Hopefully the government wire in-ear device can transmit a long way.
getagrip_already
(17,802 posts)Though some claim much more. Just need line of sight. The guy taking that picture could easily pick up spoken words.
There is tech that can even isolate specific voices in a noisy crowd.
It's really scary what's out there, and we don't even know half.

Irish_Dem
(81,769 posts)Seems obvious doesn't it?
If true, they know they are being surveilled 24/7.
Criminals get buggy and meet to:
1. get their stories straight
2. formulate escape plans
3. divvy up the loot
With any luck one of the guys has flipped and is wearing a wire.
Please God.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,876 posts)It is difficult to keep up with all his "properties", of that there is no doubt. I put that word in quotes because most of them are apparently leveraged to the hilt and most lose money like it's going out of style. It might say "Trump" on the sign outside, but the people holding the note on the properties are the real owners, to be sure.

(76,957 posts)There are only 2 ways he could shoot 71:
1) Like today, don't actually play & lie about doing it, or;
2) Play until the 71st stroke & drive off the course. That's probably 14 holes.
Zambero
(10,004 posts)Wonder if he'll do even better on the back nine?
ProfessorGAC
(76,957 posts)That's my low score this year, but I played all 18 holes.
That's 4 or 5 shots better than normal, and it was only once this year.
But, that's not as good as I used to be, and I'm nearly 66.
TFG still claims those scores. Jack Nicklaus wasn't shooting 71 at that age.
He lies about everything.

It must be important to come all the way down from Bedminster?
It does look like a strategy session. Someone is in deep shit and needs some help to get out of it. What can you do? He's looking for suggestions. If it wasn't important, do you think they would be standing in the rain?

terms and he is @ the Super Max in Colorado (FBI Agent Robert Hanssen).
Donny is gonna go to jail for stealing and selling (I have no doubt) America's state secrets. And I am

At least Bush's crimes was against Iraq. Trump crimes were against the USA. You'd think he'd have left office without TS/SCIF documents that NARA knew were missing. Fucking guy wants to be named the Greatest Traitor of all Time (GTOT)....like his cult is gonna overwhelm our society and free him.
