I would suppose it would depend on whether they were expecting to be entering a SCIF. It was located in a different area than usual, and it is hard to say whether they would have expected the information to be handed out to be highly classified.
So, if they were expecting it, then sure, they would have made whatever arrangements they usually do.
If they were not expecting it, and got to the room, and were told “No cell phones, this is an SCIF.” and were given boxes to put their phones into at that time, then sure, it’s possible that they were handed over to the trump team for inspection.
Mind you, I am not advancing this theory, nor do I think it overly likely, just saying how I could see it playing out.
Il Douche would have been totally successful in his one hundred day march to victory, but was distracted by the crucial importance of events in North Korea. He was forced to call a sooper seekrit meeting with the Senate. And how do we know this? We know it because we *don’t *know it, its sooper seekrit!
Of course, those unpatriotic wimpy liberals can hint that it wasn’t much of anything at all, and they can get away with it, because the real patriots are sworn to secrecy. Liberals shrug in a way that says “Meh, not much”. True Americans shrug in a way that says “Sooper dooper important stuff, but I can’t tell you.” Look here, two pictures, one a liberal shrug, one a Real American shrug! The difference is obvious!
OK, maybe not to people on a totally liberal radical lefty message board! But the huge almost majority of real American can see it right away!
I give him no longer than the end of the year before he resigns (and then only if revelations of coverup for his election campaign’s illegal contacts with Russian intelligence don’t come to the point of serious discussions of impeachment), whining all the way about how “unfair” the failing New York Times and fake Washington Post are to him and tweeting until his tiny thumbs are blistered. Once he realizes that Santa Claus isn’t going to build him a border wall or stuff his stocking with a magic fairy health care plan and that his “ratings” are not going to improve, he’ll want to go back home and play with his dollies in peace until he keels over while eating a taco salad or has his throat torn out by a passing bald eagle.
He doesn’t even have to admit to political or legal reasons for resignation, he is an old man, in fairly obvious poor health. If he resigned for health reasons, I am sure we’d all suspect the real reason why, but he would be able to leave office without (more) disgrace.
Why did Trump remain seated during his meetingwith the (mostly female) 2017 Teachers of the Year? Maybe he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself while surrounded by all those pussies.
Didja ever notice that sometimes the lighting is such that just for a moment, you get a flash of light from the shiny bald head underneath the complex architecture of the World’s Most Complicated Combover.
So, just one water-balloon bomb. Splash! And he will resign in order to spend more time with his beloved money.
We could start up a world wide collection for him to resign. Maybe if we dangle enough dollar signs in front of him, he’ll bolt. Sad thing is, that actually has a non-zero chance of working.
