A binder containing highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, raising alarms among intelligence officials.
A reminder that Trump is likely a Russian asset, he wanted a secret back channel with them, he was fucking around in Ukraine by blackmailing them to investigate Biden and make him look guilty, he practically kissed Putin's ring in Helsinki when he agreed to let them investigate their own crimes and send them a US ambassador.
I don't think it was an issue of "trust". I think we (those of us living in this reality) all know this, but it is moreso that he was bending to his master's will rather than let a US agency sway his actions. Especially if it is counter to his master's wishes. I am sure he knew that information was correct, but he needed to bury it.
Btw, it's been over 13 hours since this news broke, and I've literally just come over from Faux's home page. I scrolled through the entire thing, over 160 story-entries* and not a single word about this.
* I'm going with "story-entries" instead of just "stories" because some stories appear multiple times. Like they have three separate entries for the exact same story on Matthew Perry's death: is apparently the top news story of the day over at Faux, plus it's in the Entertainment section, and some other section I don't remember. But I'm not going through their front page looking for duplicates to not-count, so I'm just calling them "story-entries".
“But biden’s son showed his ding dong on the interwebs! Both sides are bad!”
/s is probably needed
Comforting to know everything I was telling people while he was in office about America being sold to foreign governments was spot on though. And he’s the republican front runner…
“But biden’s son showed his ding dong on the interwebs! Both sides are bad!”
To be clear, he didn't. He showed his ding dong in private communications but the Kremlin hacked his Apple account, shared the hacked data with the Republican Party, who then showed it to everyone.
Cassidy Hutchinson, one of Meadows’ top aides, testified to Congress and wrote in her memoir that she believes Meadows took home an unredacted version of the binder. She said it had been kept in Meadows’ safe and that she saw him leave with it from the White House.
“I am almost positive it went home with Mr. Meadows,” Hutchinson told the January 6 committee in closed-door testimony, according to transcripts released last year.
Trump has said that he's being treated differently than any other defendant. He means that he's being treated worse, but he's accidentally right. Trump has been consistently treated with soft kid gloves. Had you or I done 1% of what he did, we'd be awaiting trial from a jail cell.
Trump is being treated differently, alright. He's being given much more leeway than anyone else would be given.
Note how Meadows keeps repeating that "he did not mishandle classified information". And they did mention in the article that Trump declassified it, intending to "release" it. But it's far more plausible that he declassified it with the express intent to bury it. It's clear that whatever was in that report, Trump and Meadows wanted to make sure nobody in the US ever read it.
Maybe Putin has a copy, but quite frankly I doubt it. If the report is as bad as I think, Trump would prefer that nobody has a copy
If that orange dumbass could collect top secret papers at his Mar-o-Lago property, what's even secure at the White house? President, if that position is to stay, should be the most watched person by secret services, as his close circle should be too. With all these deep state conspiraces, why couldn't the deep state fucking notice key documents being stolen and destroyed by this car salesperson and his allies? It's embarassing and needs a fix.
