There are still code words that I cannot say or I'll end up in federal prison.

[NightWatcher]

It's been 10+ years and one such project that I worked on has since been declassified, but there are still projects that are above top secret that rely on SCI and Code Word clearances.

If he told the Russians a fucking code word project, intel, or sources or methods HE NEEDS TO BE IN FUCKING LEAVENWORTH FEDERAL PEN!!!

LOCK HIM UP NOW BEFORE HE DOES MORE DAMAGE!!!

[LonePirate]

1. Are you not familiar with IOKIYAR?

The current Republican led Congress will not touch him. It's up to the courts, the FBI or his old, unhealthy body to save us.

[NightWatcher]

2. No, if he did this and it's proven, the IC will finish him off.

They will remove him from office, one way or another.

[Mr. Ected]

4. The crazy thing is, if our IC ventilated him

The world would believe that it was Putin that did the dirty.

Trump is in all kinds of deep shit right now.

[haele]

8. Or vice versa. The creature has always been able to leverage his way out of the chaos he spreads.

He's finally peter-principled himself into a position he doesn't have the ability to just buy or bribe his way out.

If the IC doesn't get him, Putin will leave him to the Russian Mob, who can't be that happy with the exposure they're getting from him.

Haele

[Hekate]

16. The acronym comes from the crazy-making hypocrisy of the "Family Values" Party...

It's O. K. If You're A Republican.

Boink a female intern? IOKYAR
Get caught on the go-to list of a house of prostitution with side-notes that you love being diapered? IOKYAR.

And on and on and on. Publicized pecadillos, even corruption, that would bring down a Democrat's career seem to be IOKYAR

[forgotmylogin]

43. It is the area before the "Dead girl/Live boy" boundary

which is usually the absolute third rail the rightwing can't excuse their way out of.

45's "I could shoot someone in public and people would still vote for me" also exists in the same Venn diagram.

[janterry]

32. I'm thinking that's happening now (via leaks)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Then somehow, the courts must be brought into play.

Although I do think the FBI would be more than happy to have at him.

[FiveGoodMen]

7. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

[MGKrebs]

12. Nope. We are not supposed to elect people like this.

People aren't supposed to be so gullible, the electoral college is supposed to be a fail safe.
The system failed.

[madokie]

19. It wasn't so much the system failed

The system was gamed

tRump and all his administration, appointees etc should be facing a court of their peers. Same as you or I or any of us would if we were guilty or suspected of this kind of misdeeds, illegal activity

20. I'm not, and I bet I'm not alone...Please explain what this means.

[LonePirate]

28. It's OK if you're a Republican

Basically, a Democrat can drop a paper clip on the floor and Republicans will call for that Dem's firing, resignation, imprisonment, impeachment, etc.

45 or another Republican could singlehandedly commit another 9/11 type of atrocity and fellow Republicans along with their lackeys in the DC press and at Fox News would dismiss it as nothing because IOKIYAR.

[whathehell]

49. Ok, I got it.

Thanks.

[IronLionZion]

27. IC will do it in a way that you won't know they did it

He's put people's lives in danger. They won't let it go.

[pbmus]

5. I am concerned if this stupid shit put anyone in harms way...

[NightWatcher]

6. Code projects are often very segmented and if someone uses this info to put pieces together

people can very easily be in harm's way.

[grantcart]

9. no legal action for a President on classified material. He has absolute authority to declassify.

[airmid]

24. He can declassify, but there is a process that must be followed. He cannot just summarily

blurt out classified info. Even the President must go through the proper channels depending on the info's classification. Or so I am led to understand.

[uponit7771]

36. +1

[grantcart]

40. but not a criminal offense.

if there is a crime it is straight treason.

[Ilsa]

10. Thank you for keeping secrets.

Bless you for that.

I hope they do to him everything you mention: charges, removal, imprisonment.

[pnwmom]

11. Unfortunately, the law allows a President to de-classify intelligence.. HOWEVER,

it doesn't seem that the law addresses the issue of a President de-classifying sensitive intelligence given to it by an ally.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Personnel and expense and embarrassment

incompetence at its highest level, a total waste of taxpayer resources
not to mention the lives potentially involved

[DFW]

14. Imagine the scene

Trump: So, anything you guys want to know about the White House?

Russians: Actually, we'd like to know about your missile defense shield.

Trump: Well, I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you guys about that.

Russians: Aww, come on, Don, did we tell the American media how you promised us you'd do anything we wanted if we forgave your debt?

Trump: Yeah, I gotta admit, you have kept a lid on that. OK, take a look in this folder in my desk. But don't take any of it with you. Just take photos with your cell phones, OK?

Russians: OK. This stays between us. By the way, is this conversation being recorded?

Trump: Well, yes, it is, but only by the mikes your media guys installed here when they were here the other day.

Russians: You KNOW about that?

Trump: Sure. My guys found them five minutes after they left.

Russians: Then why didn't you have them removed?

Trump: I was going to do that, but then the FBI and CIA said it would be better to leave them in place for a while and feed you guys misleading information.

Russians: And are you doing that?

Trump: Well, do you find me lucid and coherent all the time?

Russians: To tell the truth, not especially.

Trump: There you go. Question asked, question answered.

42. The is the NEW "West Wing" - bravo! Have you taken movie/TV rights yet?

We can all anxiously wait each weekly episode to find out how this fictitious scenario plays out. And then there's always the next year's drama. And the sturm-und-drang as the children and in-laws battle over the turf.

I'm giving this soap-opera about a 10 year run. Didn't "Dallas" last that long?

[DFW]

50. Better watch out

Or else I WILL turn this into a weekly soap opera! "The Worst Wing"

*on edit--I do have something in the pipeline that will make fans of George Benson either smile from ear to ear, or scream "Blasphemy!"

[B Stieg]

15. But Hillary had a PRIVATE email server!

[Historic NY]

21. That wasn't hacked.

[NewRedDawn]

17. I hope counter Intel

swept the White House after the Russians left. They probably laid down all kinds of listening devices right in front of the Fat Fuck. The Russkies were either laughing with or at the traitorous buffoon from the pics taken.

[MineralMan]

18. Yup. Me too.

And it's been almost 50 years in my case. People don't understand unless they've been in that situation. They just don't.

[rzemanfl]

22. Have an "n" on me.

[MineralMan]

23. Thanks. I put it where it belonged.

[Susan Calvin]

38. Yep. And he doesn't understand much of anything anyway. nt

[Honeycombe8]

25. Oh, wow. I can't believe it. I mean, I CAN believe it, but it's unimaginable.

WHEN will the Republicans start reigning in this madman?

[AngryAmish]

26. C'mon, just whisper them to me.

[LiberalArkie]

29. The intel community will take care of the problem. Maybe a heart attach in bed down in Florida.

In was a contractor to a part of DOD 45 years ago. Worked for 10 different jobs from plumbing to telephone work. When I retired from the phone company at 65, I got a t shirt and coffee mug from the group I was contracted to in my 20's.

Yep if there is a problem with Trump, it will be taken care of. They never forget.

[DK504]

30. My brother worked for the Navy

as a geologist for 25 years. He had a very high security clearance. If he had EVER uttered one misplaced word, BOOM. He would have been in prison.

WHY THE FUCK HASN'T THE CONGRESS STARTED IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS?????

[OldRedneck]

31. Same here . . .

I retired in 1995 with TS/SCI and access to numerous compartmented programs that I can't talk about for life. Signed the same non-disclosure agreement you did.

Trump minions are now claiming that he did not reveal sources and methods. BULLSHIT. With the info, the Ruskies can backtrack to the sources and methods.

[SlimJimmy]

48. Not likely to be able to do that based on a single code word, or description of the project.

Trump minions are now claiming that he did not reveal sources and methods. BULLSHIT. With the info, the Ruskies can backtrack to the sources and methods.

[First Speaker]

33. I know how you feel. My Mom was in the OSS during the War, and handled some of the Ultra material...

...she was sworn to secrecy Big Time, and it wasn't made public for thirty years. When it was, she talked about it, of course. With relish. But imagine keeping something like that secret for 30 years! She told us that after awhile, you just kind of forget about it.

[Xolodno]

34. psssst! The Boush bowl flies left at midnight!

...sorry, the joke was there, had to take it.


But, who wants to bet the CIA is already working with the FSB to take this guy out? The attention Moscow is getting is guaranteed not to their liking.

[Hortensis]

35. My husband had top secret clearance, not "code word" level,

when he installed computer systems for the JPL, in the Pentagon, and military projects in Europe. In heading for 20 years he has not told me anything he was not supposed to. I know that because he never told me anything related to his work itself, not even just generally where in the Pentagon or in which department he worked.

[iluvtennis]

37. Agree. I too had a Top Secret with a 3 letter caveat when I worked as a defense systems contractor

What an idiotic moron that they call president.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

41. K&R nt

[Fiendish Thingy]

44. Sadly, even this WH resident has the power to declassify

Just by speaking.

So no crime committed- however, it is more fuel for impeachment, which does not require any statutory laws be broken, as it is a political, not legal, process.

[MontanaMama]

45. I'm so afraid.

And so sad, yet again. I love my country and I think we're ruined.

[erronis]

46. You're all protesting too much. None of the cheeto-lovers know anything about security

Or honor, or security.

The cheeto lover's know they hate that gummint - they hate the gummit that doesn't let them lead their lives like bejezus would. They hate laws and regulations and taxes and everything - except when they need them.

I've know a lot of right-wing nuts who have served in various capacities in S/TS/Q/need-to-know situations. They may hate the overbearing reach of the government but they would NEVER do anything to harm our security.

Cheeto doesn't even know what side of the toilet paper to use.

Speaking of IC and Putin. He's shown a good use of polonium - not too fast but final.

[KewlKat]

47. Maddow covering code word stuff right now.

[benld74]

51. Here's some code words

Donnie is a treasonous small handed man baby liar narcissist!
