holy. fucking. shit. game over. Donald Trump is toast
a couple of randos wander into Trump’s office and just like that, he’s showing off state secrets
holy shit. this is fucking YUGE.
Jack Smith, the guy who indicts war criminals in the Hague, has an audio tape of Donald Trump bragging about having classified documents.
long story short: two authors writing a biography of Mark Meadows (wut?) sat down to interview Donald Trump at his crappy vermin-infested New Jersey golf motel, when all of a sudden he pulls out stolen classified documents and starts waving them around and blabbing about their contents.
The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said.
EXCUSE ME, BUT I HAVE QUESTIONS.
a couple of randos wander into Trump’s office and just like that, he’s showing off state secrets?
how the fuck did that conversation go?
“hi, we’re here to interview you for a book about Mark Meadows.”
“hey, check out these classified files.”
“excuse me, what?”
“big, beautiful files. the best files. better than Obama’s files.”
but wait, it gets better. what were these pilfered documents about?
General Mark Milley’s plan to invade Iran.
whoa.
here’s why this is so fucking bad for Trump:
admitting that the documents are classified and that he is powerless to declassify them undercuts Trump’s main defense — that he can magically declassify anything with his mind. that excuse has always been utter bullshit, and Trump is now on tape admitting that it’s utter bullshit
waving classified documents in the faces of random civilians — and even worse, describing their contents — is a violation of section 18 USC 793(e) of the Espionage Act.
remind me, is violating the Espionage Act a bad thing?
Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information ... Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
oh dear.
finally, if this happened once, you know it happened over and over. you just know that this fragile attention-hungry blabbermouth moron couldn’t help waving his big beautiful classified trophies in front of the whole goddamned world.
staffers.
diners.
guests.
golf buddies.
foreigners.
Bone Saw Arabians.
hey, remember when out of the clear blue sky Bone Saw Arabia handed two billion dollars to Donny’s overleveraged and underqualified slumlord son-in-law Jared?
what could be worth two billion dollars to Bone Saw Arabia? stolen plans for an attack on Iran, maybe?
if I’m asking these questions, you can be sure that the guy who convicts war criminals in the Hague is asking them, too.
Trump, you stupid vainglorious poppycock. you never know when to keep your big dumb mouth shut, do you.
holy. fucking. shit.
What I don’t understand is how this guy is still walking around free. Oh, and how republicans morpns still support him for president
Let’s just pretend it was Obama who did all this. From “good people on both sides” to all the gaffes to the Bible incident to Jan 6 to these files. Would he still be a free man let alone able to be the front runner for his party for POTUS? The hypocrisy and utter absence of morals and decency just blows my mind.
