@CNN and @kaitlancollins And the aide, Chamberlain Harris, spent the summer in Russia before joining the WH. This is getting just dumb 😅

update: One caution, the reporter deleted this tweet identifying the laptop owner. No word yet why. Could be anything from a mistake to an incomplete confirmation.

1. "Not realize" eh? That smacks of something...

[bigtree]

3. I should post the source

...CNN:

"A Trump aide had previously copied those same documents onto a thumb drive and laptop, not realizing they were classified. The laptop, which belonged to an aide, who works for Save America PAC, and the thumb drive were also given to investigators in January. "

2. Wonder if FOX will talk about this? nt

[Justice matters.]

4. Well, there's another balloon...

or was it a unidentified flying object?

[Cha]

5. Chamberlain?!

Neville Chamberlain was prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940. He is best known for his role in the Munich Agreement of 1938 which ceded parts of Czechoslovakia to Hitler and is now the most popular example of the foreign policy known as appeasement.

That would be dt's team to Russia

[emulatorloo]

7. It always comes back to Russia with Trump, doesn't it?

[Cha]

8. Yes, Putin helped get him in our

our WH.

[LuckyCharms]

6. Kind of hard to miss a classification...

Stamped in big bold letters at the top and bottom of the page, and each paragraph may also be notated with a classification.

[Qutzupalotl]

10. Exactly!

Is it espionage yet?

9. Kaitlan Collins deleted the tweet that named that woman

I'm seeing other reports that Harris was uploading Trumps old schedules from the WH and found classified markings. I hope that's all it was

[kimbutgar]

11. Ya surrrrrrrre!!!!!

[haele]

12. St. Petersburg July/August of 2019? Wasn't Madison Cawthorn there around then?

Just asking.
Does look suspicious.

Haele

[SunSeeker]

44. I think so. He was gambling in St. Petersberg.

Cawthorn met his wife at a fake CrossFit competition staged by an Army captain he met in Russia, who introduced him to his future wife (who then left him 8 months after the marriage). https://www.salon.com/2021/12/30/madison-cawthorns-bizarre-tale-should-we-be-concerned-or-is-it-just-a-conspiracy-theory_partner/

13. Suma Cum Lade?

I doubt it…

Pretty certain anyone who graduated Summa Cum Laude would spell correctly the name of their honors.

[PufPuf23]

17. Thanks for posting that she spelled Summa and Laude wrong in her resume.

Was about to note the misspellings myself.

[FakeNoose]

23. Maybe Suma cum Lade is the Russian way of spelling it? 🙄

[bigtree]

42. didn't George Santos graduate from that same school?

...

[SuperSkinny]

14. What next

Russia and China seem to have infiltrated everything in this country, affiliated with computers and internet.

[republianmushroom]

15. Damn DoJ this could get to be embarrassing, now, couldn't it ?

24 months and counting

[Justice matters.]

20. Heck, if any "do-not-indict-former-presidents-prosecutors" in there aren't embarrassed already...

... prosecutors-in-name-only. Paid by taxpayers...

[bigtree]

22. you mean the fantasy prosecutors in the special internet counsel probe?

...figments of nonfactual imaginations.

[bigtree]

21. attacking the investigation

...isn't the edgy response it might seem to be in this instance.

To me it smacks of unconcern for the prosecution of the Trump WH, with a disinfo dateline as a hook, and jack shit about anything having to actually do with the DOJ investigation.

But yeah, I'm certain as I can be that DOJ folks have all gathered in a room together, with the over two dozen grand jurors who have been viewing evidence and taking testimony, just crestfallen that they've fallen behind the internet timeline for their investigation's end.

[burrowowl]

16. Very interesting!

Are rebukes going to have a committee to investigate this?

[gab13by13]

45. Democrats do control the Senate

and have their own committees.

[bigtree]

47. and?

...the point here is about the hypocrisy of bogus republican investigations in the House.

Not a challenge to Senate Democrats, who aren't lacking in any way for oversight and accountability of Trump.

A congressional briefing was offered by DOJ this week to the “Gang of Eight” — the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate and of both intelligence committees.

Any briefing is not expected to include direct access to the documents that were seized, the people said.

Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.), and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), the chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked for that access in a letter last week to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.

18. I thought it had been long established many Russians worked for Trump's

election.

[certainot]

19. graduates st petersburg 2019 then gets white house job. things happen, you know....

[ripcord]

24. I'm not seeing the working for Russia part

[triron]

28. Is that sarcasm?

[SunSeeker]

29. She studied in Russia right before coming to the White House, per her LinkedIn profile.

She is obviously proud of it since she listed on there herself.
See for yourself at the link to her profile:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/chamberlain-harris-45094b14b

[ripcord]

30. So she is automatically a Russian asset?

One thing I love about this place is that there is never a shortage of conspiracy theories.

[SunSeeker]

32. Um, the OP said she "worked in Russia" not "worked for Russia."

I suggest, before you insult a DUer, you actually read the post. The OP is basically repeating the FACTS Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo is reporting.

[ripcord]

37. she didn't work in Russia she studied there

I wonder if we should have the FBI pull in everyone who has visited Russia in the last 10 year, lock them up until they confess to being plants.

[SunSeeker]

38. Studying is work, or at least it was when I was in college.

She didn't visit Russia 10 years ago. She was in Russia the summer before she joined the White House, and bragged about it on her LinkedIn profile, even though Russian meddling in the 2020 election was already established. She sounds like an idiot, just the kind of person who would be an unwitting asset. But considering she had classified docs on her laptop, maybe it wasn't so unwitting. Certainly the FBI will be investigating this, since they seized her laptop.

Odd that you find this so funny.

[former9thward]

43. The FBI did not "seize" the laptop.

It was turned over to them by Trump's lawyers. If, according to one of the posts, the documents were Trump's old schedules that is petty at best.

[SunSeeker]

46. Seize means take hold. That's what the FBI did.

Some of the documents on the laptop were classified, that is why the FBI took it. And Trump’s lawyers didn't give the FBI the laptop, the feds had to go get it, i.e. seize it:

ABC News has also learned that after the information was recovered, federal agents retrieved the laptop from the aide. The laptop was not retrieved on the Mar-a-Lago grounds, the sources said.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-team-turns-item-marked-classified-doj-sources/story?id=97038100

An "old schedule" could still be classified if it reveals sensitive information about who Trump met with, where and why. Nothing "petty" about it.

[former9thward]

52. The dictionary definition of "seize" is "take hold of suddenly and forcibly"

They did neither. You are wrong unless you have your own private definition of "seize".

[SunSeeker]

54. No you are wrong for claiming Trump's lawyers gave the FBI the laptop.

The FBI went and got it from the aide. It appears they did so quickly once they learned about it. Not sure what level of "force" they employed but I imagine it was the same as they used when they seized the boxes at Mar-a-Lago.

Weird how you found me deep in this subthread to argue over semantics because you think I besmirched Trumpworld.

[former9thward]

53. I was replying about the laptop.

You are mixing in all sorts of things in your confusing reply.

[bigtree]

41. if they're associated with the Russia-compromised Trump camp, I'd guess they're due for an interview

...(if that's not already occurred) and see how it goes from there.

Not sure of the big need to exonerate Trump associates from reasonable suspicions here.

[bigtree]

33. never a shortage of Russia associations with the Trump campaign and WH

...just sayin'.

[SunSeeker]

34. Nor a shortage of people downplaying those connections. nt

[triron]

35. What are they doing on DU,?

[SunSeeker]

39. Good question. nt

[triron]

36. What are they doing on DU,?

[SunSeeker]

25. K & R for exposure.

[BlueIdaho]

26. Consequences...

Where are the fucking consequences?

[bigtree]

40. two grand juries assembled by DOJ. One for the insurrection and election, one for docs

...as far as I know, they haven't finished their part in those consequences yet.

This evidence gathered in January will be added to the rest they've amassed.

[triron]

27. Oh this is just a big bad coincidence.

[Justice matters.]

31. Yep. No criminal 'intent' there.

Because they're too stupid to consult 'good' lawyers before they betray the US of A.

[keithbvadu2]

49. Communications... transferring documents.

[maxrandb]

50. Speaker Pelosi to Donny "Short Fingers"; "all roads with you lead to Putin"

[Vinca]

51. Well, having someone who probably speaks Russian is handy for negotiating

deals for documents. WHEN ARE THESE PEOPLE GOING TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT????
