If that reactor gets breached we’d need a first hand report. I’m sure if Trump injected some bleach he’d be just fine.
FBI Search and Seizure at Trump's Mar-A-Lago Residence, August 8, 2022, Case Dismissed July 15, 2024
Taking him to Antarctica would be like a remake of The Blob.
I was thinking we could put him on the Artemis I flight. He might go voluntarily! He can be Ambassador to the Moon for all of Earth. We don’t have to mention that the capsule has no life support and is filled with pure nitrogen.
he’s used to sucking all the air out of things - this will be no different.
Hey! There are rules about this!
Why would Trump take empty folders with him? It’s not like he was diligently planning ahead for properly concealing classified documents he might be working with.
As I’ve theorized, they would have been supplies for the Mar a Lago scif. He didn’t need to take them because they were already there.
The box lists released by DOJ show an arrangement that appears far too haphazard for that explanation. Look at item 15, e.g.: 65 magazines or press articles, two books, some documents with Confidential and Secret markings, some more documents without markings, and four empty folders (two "Classified, " two “Return to staff secretary/ military aide”).
Apparently Mark Meadows is turning over more texts and emails. Heh.
Depends on the operational procedures of the shop.
I was a COMSEC Custodian in my former life.
We did not store classified cover sheets in the general supply closet.
We had the responsibility to issue cover sheets. We most certainly would not have handed them out like candy, or gave them out for some unknown reserve purpose.
There had to be people up the chain that approved each request. That kicks in the chain of custody, because then we knew something was out there and we had a responsibility to secure it before people went home for the evening.
I suppose other shops might do it differently.
A lot of people in this security discipline seemed to look the other way. I wonder if there’s any legal accountability mandated besides just getting fired.
If your former life was before color copiers and printers, I’ve got some news for you about how cover sheets are made nowadays.
Fair enough.
I am long removed from that world, but if I’m following:
Did they just create a remote SKIF without any accountability in the chain of command for staff to enforce basic security protocol for said security risk?
Isn’t that a Chief of Staff’s responsibility?
Hopefully the J6 Committee will fix this vulnerability.
All this speculation, and trump hasn’t even been questioned about any of this, has he?
My guess is that is that he’s trying to revive the “standing order that everything that Trump takes home is automatically unclassified” excuse. Then the only problem was that Trump didn’t file the paper work to actually declassify the documents. Of course it that would mean that Trump was willing to have all of the secrets about Iran’s nuclear program opened up to FOIA requests just so that he could take a copy home with him. But it will probably be the fig leaf the base needs to claim its no big deal.
Someone in this thread or another and who claims to have worked in the classified documents field, said that the folders themselves have (or should have) some indicators on them that make them traceable and have some very general info about what they contain. Am I mis-remembering?
Oh yeah? Well Trump has got a little something for Barr! Put up yer dukes! MAGA-Fight!
“Bill Barr had ‘no guts,’ and got ‘no glory.’ He was a weak and pathetic RINO, who was so afraid of being Impeached that he became a captive to the Radical Left Democrats,”

I heard some conservative (Barr?) comment yesterday that the whole “standing order” thing made no sense, but if it did happen it was incredibly reckless and irresponsible to declassify these highly sensitive documents.
He just wanted them for decorations!
Set dressing. It’s that TV background again.
