I've been on the comments section at the WAPO as they were breaking the news, and it is literally on fire-and every other comment is 'lock him up' or 'The Rosenbergs died for this.' or even "He sold those to everyone."
yeah, this is a very very big deal.
Trump is officially done if this is confirmed by the warrant (redacted or not). He can't explain away having ultra-secret nuclear documents under any circumstances in his resort.
I'm enjoying every single second of it. My poor husband would have been overjoyed to see it go down.
Why do I absolutely believe this? Because “Russia, if you’re listening…” Because Helsinki. Because Ukraine. Because. Because. Some Trump jaw dropping moments are just seared on my brain. We all just knew it was bad. But what could we do? In your earlier post I found myself twice reading the description of DOJ counterintelligence officials. Oh, yeah! This cannot just be about a few memos flagged as missing by the librarians. Please keep on this story. Your writing is the clearest account of this. So so appreciated. ❤️🤍💙
Per Bradley Moss, a national security attorney on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show, according to the Atomic Energy Act, the president cannot declassify nuclear security information. So he can’t claim he declassified the documents. Here’s another quote from a guest: “Stupidity is not a defense.”
Coincidentally after reading the Post report earlier I was wondering if indeed Trump has been colluding with the Russians all along since 2016. Remember Russia are you listening? Would he actually share top secret information with them for a price? Has he been so compromised and owned by Russian oligarch money that they have extorted him? His ultra patriot flag wrapped America Great persona would be the perfect KGB FSB cover. Nothing would be too bizarre with this evil man. Time for an electoral tsunami to break the fever.
You’re damned right he’s been colluding with the Russians—remember how he had his meeting with them at the very beginning of his term—no witnesses allowed in, etc, etc? I imagine he wants to keep possession of the plane Putin gave him, among other things…
I wonder why the FBI was so interested in the security camera tapes? Is it possible someone came and photographed the nuclear weapons documents(S)? since a record of the original must exist and the National Archive people would know that they were missing. This would w explain him being reluctant to return such a highly classified document as he wasn't supposed to have it in the first place. Maybe he was hoping they'd eventually forget about it since it is unlikely he would think the FBI would descend on Mar A Lago with a search warrant because of the "bad optics" amd resulting uproar by the GOP.
Well of course we may be completely off track, but it does seem odd as to why he was trying to hang on to a paper to do with nuclear weapons, but even if no particular reason, I'd say he's still in serious trouble. It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds. But if there's the slightest evidence he even tried to pass it along to a foreign power that would be treason. I know he'd probably do practically anything for money but surely he would never go that far, He couldn't be that stupid. Or could he ?
Well, i don;t think I'm psychic but you might recall if you saw it my comment on your previous article the other day, although no mention of Putin or blackmail in the Post article that I know of..: I made a couple of guesses; one to do with pardons, and the other as follows: ".....or worse, some document Putin has offered big money for or asked for in exchange for not releasing certain information?"
I'm stupefied by this news. Heading to WaPo now to read the whole thing. If it's true, maybe even his most fringe followers will join the rest of us and turn on him with revulsion. The trial of the century. But holy bleep, sharing and/or selling nuclear secrets?! Terrifying.
Unfortunately, even his most fringe of followers are in total disbelief of ANY mainstream media, or the government because we are just “out to get him” and will do and say whatever it takes. I have family members (mea culpa) who believe TFG & Fox News and ONLY. That is the true meaning of “moron!”
My guess is that they will amplify the cover story already circulating that the FBI "planted" whatever will be found. I wish someone would ask THEM to explain how on earth FBI agents got their hands on ultra-classified documents of which even being in proximity thereof only a smidgeon of government officials have authorization. Oh, I forget. It's that Simple Simon network where the only criterion for employment is to be able to shriek and read drivel written at an elementary school level.
I may have to revise my opinion of DOJ if this is what takes him down…also of the judiciary, I fully expected them to drag this out for months. But 3pm tomorrow wow!

And it's only just started.
Merrick Garland and the FBI for the win!

Thanks Lucien for your hard work. If this proves true we are indeed lucky to have an active free press to help us through the maze.

Yup and Yep.

I don’t put anything past him. “A Constitutional criminal,” declared Bob Woodward.
Hmmm…now there’s a thought….
TFG (that fuckin' guy) doesn't give a shit about anyone except himself.
He would sell his mother and kids to make a buck. I look forward to pissing on his grave.

Mind blown!! If this is true, it is way worse than I thought. And again your newsletter, is outstanding.
Wonder how Tucker Sean Laura will spin this puppy.

Revived and revisited...death penalty
That would really increase his martyrdom to the status of Saint Donald.
