‘So appalled’: What witnesses told special counsel about Trump’s handling of classified info while still president

22 comments

1. Seriously, are any enough of us shocked ?

2. Intelligence: This is extremely sensitive material that is…

   Trump (tweeting): Look at this! Isn’t this incredible? We can see right in your windows from space! And all this technology BELONGS TO ME! I CONTROL IT! I PROTECT YOU!

3. i hate him so fucking much.

4. Glad these people came forward… after they were able to get everything possible out of the gig. 

5. The Cult won’t care. Presenting such information to a cult member will be perceived as a person attack against that individual. They will become defensive and find a way to rationalize this as being anything other than a problem.

   Anyone with any rationality left could easily see what a disaster this is for the interests and security of the United States and to those who put themselves in harm’s way to protect the same.

6. Unfit then. Unfit now.

7. It’s important to remember that in 2021, before all of Trump’s breaches of security were public knowledge, the CIA made a shocking and disturbing announcement.

   >Leading counterintelligence officials issued a memo to all of the CIA’s global stations saying that a concerning number of U.S. informants were being captured and executed.

   This sort of announcement is rare, but it was one the CIA felt compelled to make.

   >Announcing the specific number of killings is rare as that figure is typically held under wraps from the public and even from some CIA employees, the Times noted

   I have no doubt that Trump’s greed and carelessness were responsible for the deaths of many of these sources. I can’t wait until Jack Smith is able to start the prosecution for the classified documents case.

8. And get Aileen Cannon is slow waking and delaying every chance she can .

9. The Orange Hitler is the biggest piece of shit that I’ve seen in my lifetime.

10. Oh god, that Iranian rocket explosion picture. Wasn’t there a reddit thread where a bunch of people were able to determine things like estimated resolution and orbital parameters of the satellite (and potential others with same capabilities launched alongside it) from the *phone photo* of the original he posted to twitter?

    Ok a quick google shows my memory wasn’t quite right about it happening on reddit, but here’s a [discussion from 2022](https://www.reddit.com/r/democrats/comments/worcvp/comment/ike82pc/) talking about it later. Maybe that was what my brain was trying to dredge up.

11. Not as if quoting a celebrity makes any difference to regular people’s judgement.

    But I can’t resist quoting Robert de Niro when he was guest on the Late Show:

    “He is just so fooking stupid!”

12. But. That was dTrump💩’s DOJ.

13. According to this article, if true, He literally posted classified information before it could be analyzed to declassify. He could have actually put us at risk. All to be the first to talk about it.

14. Just more information confirming he is a Russian asset.

15. This paints a picture of an entitled and angry child that has never been told “no”. It’s okay, child does not know any better, but there is something seriously wrong with the system when he might once again become president.

16. It all started with him refusing to use the secured and protected mobile phone that every other president before him would never be stupid enough to refuse. Instead, he continued to tweet from his own *extremely* hackable Android phone. As I understand it, his entire time in the white house.

    I would be *shocked* if that thing wasn’t rooted by some state sponsored entity (or several) within days once that became known 🤷‍♂️

17. The arrogance and lack of understanding that someone thinks that they become so empowered, knowledgeable and talented just by attaining a position.

    The Americans suffer terribly from deifying their presidents and the genius and infallibility of the “founding fathers”

    Plus the appalling standard of journalism, the journalists are meant to ask difficult and challenging questions, not to kowtow to the ruling elite, that’s how you get a ruling elite

18. At that time the intelligence services should have stepped in, since he didn’t post this via POTUS, but with his personal Shitter account.

19. Make america great again Send HIM to jail🙏

20. “Trump insisted he hadn’t released classified information because he had an “absolute right to do” it.” Get your shit together America. What an embarrassment.

21. You do not have to support Democrats. You may even dislike Democrats. If you are a real Republican, you need only vote Blue one-time this November to restore sanity, reason and democracy to the Republican Party. Remove the scum from the Republican Party in November and reclaim your Party. Stop the hate and division; Vote Blue one time to restore and return our country to greatness once again!

22. What a moron! And those who still believe in him are even bigger morons.
