There's more in his twitter feedIt's horrible, prosecutable, an insane breach of security. But likely to be the product of the fact that Trump is an idiot and was grabbing everything he could on the way out the door. Which doesn't make it "not a crime." Huge crime.

I'm not buying the "he accidentally mixed nuclear docs in with love letters from his minions" angle. He might be dumb as a box of rocks, but he's an idiot savant when it comes to scams.

Perhaps I need to review the Rosenbergs' trial, but if the search is about such secret information, I'm wondering if there's some reluctance for criminal proceedings. Because trials are relatively open proceedings, and therefore a horrible place to discuss sensitive information.
And, yes, there are methods to attempt to control such information and limit public access. But in this particular instance, there will enormous political cost, which cannot be ignored.

This. It took him a YEAR to turn in 15 boxes. Then, they served a subpoena and got a handful more. Then, they had to execute a search warrant to get the rest, which sounds like it was possibly up to 2/3 the amount they already had collected from him. He was keeping these on purpose. And a jury would have to be utter idiots not to see those facts and come to that conclusion. Not that I believe there actually WILL be a jury.Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 10:18 am I'm not buying the "he accidentally mixed nuclear docs in with love letters from his minions" angle.

House Intel GOP had their own presser with Elise Stefanik and other idiots. Mike sez not all nuclear weapons documents are truly classified.
Meanwhile, Kurt & his peanut gallery will call for Defunding the FBI today when he guest hosts Seb Gorka's show:

Aaaannnd there it is. trump says the nuclear doc issue is a hoax.

And when the warrant is finally released, trump will say it's not the real one, but he'll refuse to release his copy.

Re: Trump's Classified Docs: FBI Subpoenas, Searches & Seizures - Mar-A-Lago, DOJ, Merrick Garland - GOP Madness, Fallou
I think that Nichols’ main point is that speculation about Trump selling nuclear secrets risks creating a climate of opinion that anything less than the worst imaginable behavior is not a big deal. Which is wrong.Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 10:18 am I'm not buying the "he accidentally mixed nuclear docs in with love letters from his minions" angle.

https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/co ... journalismWhat can the FCC do?
The FCC may act only when it has received documented evidence, such as testimony from persons who have direct personal knowledge of an intentional falsification of the news. Without such documented evidence, the FCC generally cannot intervene.

I guess I am a bit of a skeptic on the nuclear documents story. It may very well be true but I will wait for confirmation from someone other than the WaPo. They have not exactly had a good week covering this story.

Off Topic
There is nothing that can be done to stop Faux from putting out misinformation. But the kind of misinformation they have been putting out as of late are now costing people their lives.
I would love to see something like a Change.org demanding that all cable companies that offer packages remove Fox from their lineup until Fox removes the "News" from their logo. That is what I truly object to. Their programming director admits they are not "primarily a news" station. They are down to somewhere in the vicinity of 1-3 hours per day of actual "news" programming - which is programming that they actually CLAIM really is news.
I'd love to see someone who is eloquent with written language draw up a petition to drop Fox until such time that they drop the "news" from their description and logo. Either drop the channel, or drop from all packages and offer as an "add on" only so that only those who chose to deliberately choose them have to pay through the nose.
And I'm OK with CNN and other stations to be held to the highest standards that for any show that they are claiming is "NEWS" that is has to meet high standards for fact checking, fairness, and reliability.
It's the "Fox News" at the bottom of the screen that is misleading their viewers into believing they are hearing something that is akin to actual news.
