The Donald J. Trump Guide to Getting Away With Anything
The former president has a knack for avoiding consequences for his misbehavior.
Very interesting DesertDog.
Yes, this. Trump is likely to have stolen classified documents that reveal not only our own agents, but the agents of our allies. (Not that he would have been capable of figuring out which documents to grab; it’s likely he had help in doing that.)
Donald Trump revealing US undercover assets and agents–for cash–was the premise of this short novel, by the way:

Long-ish excerpt is readable on the KDP sales page (which can be reached from the publisher’s page linked above; that’s my connection with this). [image] SIRTES, rearranged, of course, is RESIST.

I don’t think he will do it for cash. It’s leverage against prosecution, or to suppress whatever compromat Putin has on him. And there is something.

I think he’d go for all of that, if he thought he could get away with it.
After all, we’re all just cardboard cutouts in the Donald Trump Story (in his mind). The lives of undercover assets and agents would have as much reality to him as would a booger in Biff Tannen’s nose.

That looks worth using up a view; great illustration!
The US had plans to trundle 50 Peacekeeper ICBMs around in disguised boxcars
Soon after, Gallagher proposed the ICBMW. W for Winnebago. Good ole boys out on the road with a six-pack and a warhead.
The railcars had four trucks under them, twice the usual number. It would have to a really beefed-up Winnie.
“Hey, Bubba! Hold my beer and watch this!”
Good ole boys out on the road with a six-pack and a warhead.
Just two good ol’ boys,
Never meaning no harm.
That goofy Bo and Luke,
Just a ridin’ on a nuke,
And the warhead was armed.
Hell, if you want to (and have the money), you can BUY one.

Missiles sold separately?
(Which, disturbingly, ties back into current news stories…)
More likely, Trump has the names of covert sources in Russia that he would threaten to expose if prison looms.
And risk retaliation from Putin? The only way Tan the Conman to get out from under that dictator’s thumb is to publicly disclose something Putin has on him that is even more embarrassing than the pee tape and Tan the Conman won’t do that.
Why would Putin retaliate against Trump for revealing American spies in Russia? More likely, he would give him a medal.
Because obviously.
In the days since the FBI seized classified and top secret documents from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, the former President and his allies have claimed that Trump had a "standing order" to declassify documents he took from the Oval Office to the...
Why would Putin retaliate against Trump for revealing American spies in Russia?
@Monty might be thinking of Russian assets that had been recalled from the US.
Or still in the US.
Trump claims his rights have been "violated in a level rarely seen before in our country."
…
“A major motion pertaining to the Fourth Amendment will soon be filed concerning the illegal Break-in of my home, Mar-a-Lago, right before the ever important Mid-Term elections,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.“My rights, together with the rights of all Americans, have been violated in a level rarely seen before in our County,” he added.
“The greatest Witch Hunt in USA history has been going on for six years, with no consequences to the scammers.”
…
My bold.
In two weeks.
At first I saw “major motion” and was sure that was going to be “major motion picture.” No such luck.
Christ. The asshole ignored a subpoena and him or one of his flunkies signed that there were none left. It would be a law artist who could come up with a refutation for all that.
with no consequences to the scammers
Not yet but I’m hoping you get charged soon.
A major motion…
Break out the Ex-Lax and the toilet plungers!!
“A major motion pertaining to the Fourth Amendment will soon be filed concerning the illegal Break-in of my home, Mar-a-Lago, right before the ever important Mid-Term elections,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.
The motion would rise or fall based on the affidavit supporting the search warrant. (which neither Trump nor his lawyers has seen yet).
I would wager it’s a pretty damning document that he won’t like seeing in the public domain. Sooner or later, we’ll see it. I’m hoping sooner.
