If one had criminal intent on stealing nuclear secrets would one not simply snap a few pics and be done with it. Why take the papers? Unless of course there was no criminal intent. What makes you think they didn't know? The FBI as reported in Reuters and Washington Post were looking for nuclear documents, well they found them. Nuclear documents and spy information, names etc is one thing Presidents cannot declassify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker88 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The Washington Post has an article quoting sources saying that some of the documents found at MaL relate to "military nuclear capabilities of foreign nations". Such material would carry many classifications, including RD (Restricted Data). Not even a POTUS has the authority to declassify RD material, so 45's lies about "I declassified everything" would not matter even if it wasn't a lie (of course it is a lie). Unauthorized possession of RD material outside of a SCIF is a felony and a capital offense. That 45 had it at MaL is proof of guilt and the perp is subject to execution. Ask the Rosenbergs. One wonders what 45's excuse...errr......LIE is going to be about having that material. Not sure if these RD docs were mixed with the clothing of the former softcore porn model who passes for his 3rd wife, as some docs were, but if yes, 45 is the kind of abject coward who would blame her. Since magaville is enamored of slogans, here's one they might understand: "Try him and fry him" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted September 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2022 3 minutes ago, SunnyinBangrak said: sometimes a simple picture helps understanding a situation. Apparently you did not read the SSCI Report on the Mueller probe. Note that when that SSCI Report was released, repubs still controlled the Senate, so the supervising authority was the senior member of SSCI. When the report was begun that was Sen Burr, and when the report was released, it was Sen Rubio. Besides noting that there were at least 10 cases where SSCI agreed 45 could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice, here is one line from that 1000 page report: "[45's] 2016 campaign caused a grave counterintelligence threat to the United States" The NY Post is hardly an authority on anything. Perhaps you care to explain, no doubt citing some authority on par with the NY Post, why in only his first week on the job Campaign Manager manafort was sent to Spain to meet with Konstatin Kilimnik to hand him internal polling data from the 45 campaign. That data was extremely detailed regarding specific voters in key swing States, including employment, spending patterns, income, any memberships, any subscriptions----and algorithms were run on the data which produce conclusions of political leanings. Kilimnik, a russian agent, then handed the data to the Internet Research Agency in St Pete. The IRA is a GRU entity that produces false information. The IRA then used the data Kilimnik gave them to target the Facebook and other social media accounts of voters in those swing States with fake stories about HRC or other Democrats, all with the goal of influencing votes. manafort did not travel to Spain and just happen to run into Kilimnik and just happen to be carrying all that detailed internal polling data, and then say, "Oh Konny, this stuff is interesting, take a look". Of course manafort was given a pardon by 45. Now---if you are capable---think for a minute if this tale had been HRC or Barack Obama's campaign. What would the NY Post say about that? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing complex about this at all. Trump stole government documents. Trump refused to return Government documents. Trump’s lawyers submitted signed statements all subject government documents had been returned. The FBI obtained evidence that not all documents had been returned. The FBI showed that evidence to a judge, the judge agreed a search was warranted. The judge issued a lawful search warrant. The FBI undertook a lawful search. The FBI recovered masses of government documents, including TS/SCI documents. The FBI discovered evidence that some TS/SCI documents may have been ‘disposed of’.

Your Whataboutism is inaccurate. But accuracy and reality are not strong points of the cult. Cyber forensics produced zero indication HRC's server was hacked, so the handful of CONFIDENTIAL (lowest classification) docs sent to that server were not obtained by any external source. By the way, MaL is not a SCIF. TS/SCI, HCS, and RD docs cannot be stored outside of a SCIF. That is a felony, the proof being their mere existence. ANYONE who knowingly kept them there---especially if they lied about returning everything---and ANYONE who aided in their transport, is guilty of a felony. Obviously that latter point suggests lots of potential cooperation witnesses. 45 even had docs in his office, and not even a cult member would think for a second that 45 cleans his own office. He hires undocumented aliens for that, as the records show. As a former case officer, I know that such people (cleaners in locations where a target works) are prime targets for recruitment. Imagine what the offer of, say, a million dollars would mean to an undocumented and underpaid Salvadorean migrant? 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as we know that is not what happened. And judging by the underhand behavior by the FBI since they spied on his campaign after doctoring evidence to do so any accusations against President Trump should be taken with a large pinch of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
