48. What?

I know you're not implying that tfg could do what you did, right? He didn't, couldn't use email, but somehow knew how to scan or save text or data to a thumb drive? Or an SD chip? whatever. Somebody did that stuff for him. At least if they found storage other than paper. The FBI is supposed to be looking for the "who" first and the "how" second, or reverse engineer transmission tools to whoever in the WH would have helped him, right?

I'm sure we're speculating, but until the FBI finds out more, I guess I don't get the issue.

People from the Saudi, Chinese, Russian embassies would be happy to swing by and pick up papers. Irish_Dem Aug 2022 #8

No need. They're transmitted as scanned documents - outside of normal channels, of course. erronis Aug 2022 #34

Or Trump's people hand delivered it. For an extra fee of course. Irish_Dem Aug 2022 #36

When you can fit thousands/millions of pages of scanned docs on a micro-SD, why carry paper? erronis Aug 2022 #38

Ouch. nt crickets Aug 2022 #44

Yes I know, and agree. Irish_Dem Aug 2022 #45

I see. ancianita Aug 2022 #52

Evidence of guilt for sure. Kingofalldems Aug 2022 #6

So he was stealing documents all along. Irish_Dem Aug 2022 #7

That does appear to be the case... kentuck Aug 2022 #10

Right! kentuck Aug 2022 #16

One of the all time best movies! lunatica Aug 2022 #18

Probably thinking of Tom Hanks in the Green Mile. ARPad95 Aug 2022 #41

The Shawshank Redemption. Great flick. Joinfortmill Aug 2022 #31

That's Tim Robbins, not Tom Hanks in The Shawshenk Redemption. nt Baltimike Aug 2022 #56

He wasn't reading them to learn about national defense or other important issues; Ocelot II Aug 2022 #14

Bingo shanti Aug 2022 #23

More likely scanning them during "Executive Time" and transmitting daily or weekly. erronis Aug 2022 #35

He may have monetized some of them already. MontanaMama Aug 2022 #43

Are any of his cronies still working at the NSA or elsewhere in the IC Ocelot II Aug 2022 #46

The mind reels. MontanaMama Aug 2022 #47

We may be beyond mere speculation and suspicion that TFG was a Russian asset Ocelot II Aug 2022 #49

He saw it all as just another monetizing opportunity. The Unmitigated Gall Aug 2022 #15

Exactly! lunatica Aug 2022 #20

When you think about it, that may have been why he was such close friends with Kim Jong Un? kentuck Aug 2022 #21

That's my thinking too. lunatica Aug 2022 #22

Also, think about all those trips Jared made to the Middle East FakeNoose Aug 2022 #27

And why he fought John Kelly so hard to get a Top Secret security clearance... kentuck Aug 2022 #54
