Mar-a-Lago Documents Held Secrets About China & Iran-INFO THAT COULD EXPOSE INTEL-GATHERING METHODS

[kpete]

“Some of the classified documents recovered by the FBI from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club included highly sensitive intelligence regarding Iran and China,” the Washington Post reports.

“If shared with others, the people said, such information could expose intelligence-gathering methods that the United States wants to keep hidden from the world.”

“At least one of the documents seized by the FBI describes Iran’s missile program… Other documents described highly sensitive intelligence work aimed at China.”

1. May all involved receive everything they deserve.

[lindysalsagal]

2. Not surprising at all.

Willing Stooge.

14. The "Resolute Desk".

As if having that desk in the Oval Office would imbue him with some magical power his otherwise barren soul doesn't possess.

[Pinback]

17. The Dissolute Desk

with this degenerate dumbass sitting behind it. I hope they sanitized and refinished that thing to get rid of his stench.

[SergeStorms]

20. Exorcism wouldn't be too much to ask for.

Native Americans with sage bundles, desperately attempting to rid the desk of Trump's evil spirit.

Yeah, there are a few things we could do to rid that desk of Trump's soul stink.

4. TREASON.

Hang the MF.

5. I don't trust anything from Devlin Barrett

He also did the Hillary Clinton email and Clinton Foundation stories right before the 2016 election.

[PRETZEL]

15. Generally I agree about Devlin Barrett's sourcing

but unlike all his other "scoops", this one isn't advantageous to the GOP or Trump.

Why?

There something weird about this. My only guess is that someone within Trump's inner circle is trying to protect themselves putting little breadcrumbs into the public domain.

Wonder who that might be? (Maybe Kash Patel)

[Nevilledog]

21. It will be used to discredit the DOJ and FBI for "leaking"

There's also no evidence that these documents actually exist or were seized.

They're all about discrediting the investigation, not the truth of what was seized. Plus, he's gonna say all the classifieds were planted or wrongly designated.

[PRETZEL]

22. True, forgot that's SOP for them nt

FYI, I am not ruling out this is a Trump leak. Few lawyers would think of pursuing this type of strategy but clearly there are non-lawyer ideologues advising him and, yes, I could see them devising an atypical "leak" strategy in order to attack FBI/DOJ.

No idea on sourcing.

Possession of classified/NDI info at Mar-a-Lago is unlawful. Trump exclaiming "declassified" is red herring unlikely to prevail as matter of law.

But these leaks should be condemned. Highly inappropriate & only undermines prospects of indictments. Plays right into Trump's hands.

We keep expecting them to pay by the rules, but the extremists won't follow the rules.

6. this goes to capital treason and beyond; don't forget the

cowardly Quisling’s first sick fantasy of shooting an American on 5th ave., and “getting away with it”

[AZLD4Candidate]

7. How is he, and all his stooges, and all of his enablers, not in handcuffs?

People get into handcuffs for shoplifting a stick of gum.

This guy shoplifts classified, sensitive documents and he's still walking free.

[triron]

19. DOJ policy thingy.

[AZLD4Candidate]

25. About what? Going after low level criminals more than espionage and treason

but Republicans?

How many people are in federal pen for smuggling pot between state lines?

[Duppers]

24. And killed over a pack of cigarettes.

[Tommymac]

8. I'll wait for better sourcing. Devlin Barret is a hack. nt

[gratuitous]

9. This seems . . . significant

I wonder if the major media will treat this seriously, or if they'll "both sides" the crap out of it to minimize and normalize the mishandling of classified information by the former guy?

Yeah, I know where the smart money will go, but wouldn't it be nice if just once the media treated the former guy like the felon and threat to national security that he is?

[triron]

12. How about the DOJ?

[bucolic_frolic]

10. This is far worse than copyright and patent infringement

[triron]

11. Yeah but DOJ policy is more important 🙄

[bronxiteforever]

13. Iran is aiding Russia so TFG is worried because he

is Putin’s pal.

[ancianita]

16. More espionage counts.

8 U.S. Chaper 37 Espionage Act

Code 793 -- gathering, transmitting, losing defense information

[EnergizedLib]

18. Well, we're waiting

Time has come today. Go take the former guy away.
