Trump wants a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-wants-doj-set-scif-can-discuss-classified-docs-rcna99111The Orange Asshole® wants a SCIF at his club so he can "discuss" classified docs with his lawyers.
I say OK to this, as long as the room is used only for discussion, and that no docs are actually kept there. And the government itself should maintain and staff the SCIF properly and bill Trump for it.
The way it should work is that the room should be locked at all times, inaccessible to Mar-a-Lago Target, lawyers and staff. When a classified discussion needs to take place, a federal agent is on call to go to the club, open the SCIF, and then stand by on the outside while Target and his lawyers talk. When they're done, the agent would lock and spin-off the lock on the door and leave. Target would then receive a bill for each time the SCIF is accessed.
In fact, I'd T-SCIF the bathroom and make them meet there. Seems appropriate.

(9,388 posts)A SCiF at mar-lardo means he gets some classified documents back for review and show and tell. This guy is a security risk. There is no way he should have any documents in his possession. His and his lawyers access should be strictly monitored when they are accessing for trial prep.

From the ISIS viewpoint, it's been a success.
