What is Kilmeade going to say when they show up on eBay?raison de arizona wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 11:55 am I was listening to Kilmeade on the radio this morning (I think it was Kilmeade, sounded like him,) he was trying to excuse the whole document-gate as Trump "just trying to hold on to mementos from the WH, no big deal."
It's definitely worth pointing out, for context.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 12:15 pmAs I recall, the Clintons took a bunch of stuff they ultimately had to return.

I guess presidents can buy those from the government if they want to keep them. How much do you want to bet that Trump has a boatload of presidential gifts that he just took?
I'm teased by the memory of Paper Towel Gate. Keep thinking there should be some clever connection involving Paper Products.
How many times have you seen signs in women’s bathrooms warning not to flush Kotex? Some smart person could use that Trump would hate being compared to a woman! But #Shiittergate is good too!
Also further detailHere's Trump saying that he's heard from many people complaining about "flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times."
Thing is, as President, technically he could declassify whatever he liked. So he might hide behind that as a defense...Angry Staffer@Angry_Staffer
There was some SCI in there too.
He’s screwed.
For those asking:
SCI is “sensitive compartmented information” — also known as code-word intelligence — meaning these are the programs that you have to be “read in” to, and divulging that information is a felony that the government does *not* play about.

I seem to remember that Maggie H sat down with trump for hours of "Exclusive access" for her book. I have a feeling that apart from this detail to get people buying the thing, the book will be mainly about the rays of light that shine from his rear end.Asha Rangappa

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you become aware that someone may have committed a federal felony, it’s important to call the FBI and not save it for your next book
Remember, early in his presidency, he met with some Russian officials and handed them some classified documents? There was a bit of a stink about it, but, the furor died down and the concensus seemed to be that the act of giving them to the Russians constituted declassifying them.
I was going to post this yesterday. I wonder what David Petraeus thinks about this situation?MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 11:56 am Bradley P. Moss', a national security lawyer's, opinion on the documents -
Hungary’s far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán is hoping Donald Trump will travel to Budapest in the coming weeks to boost his reelection campaign.
A thinktank linked to the Orbán government, the Centre for Fundamental Rights, has issued an invitation to Trump, a government source told The Guardian.
The invitation comes as Orbán moves into campaigning mode ahead of a closely fought election due on 3 April, when his Fidesz party will face a united opposition coalition, in what is seen as the biggest challenge to his rule since he became prime minister 12 years ago.
No, I don't remember that. I remember him meeting with Lavrov in the Oval and him telling Lavrov highly classified stuff involving another country (probably Israel).Remember, early in his presidency, he met with some Russian officials and handed them some classified documents?

Trump went on to discuss aspects of the threat that the United States learned only through the espionage capabilities of a key partner. He did not reveal the specific intelligence-gathering method, but he described how the Islamic State was pursuing elements of a specific plot and how much harm such an attack could cause under varying circumstances. Most alarmingly, officials said, Trump revealed the city in the Islamic State's territory where the U.S. intelligence partner detected the threat.
