here's the big question: who told Donald Trump what to steal. because you know the illiterate fuck would have had no clue on his own

1. Flynn was involved, of course.

Don't know how many others were.

[AntiFascist]

49. Congress has known since 2019 that Flynn was handing top secret nuclear technology over to Trump...

to then hand over to the Saudis and their allies. Whistleblowers claimed that this circumvented national security.

[Haggard Celine]

51. It sure has taken a long time for this to surface.

There must have been a lot of fighting behind the scenes over what to do about it. These are momentous times. I guess we won't know everything that's happening now, but I think there are going to be some revelations as we move toward prosecuting Trump.

[Leghorn21]

2. Ab-so-tutely, orleans!!

This idiot’s handlers need to be exposed and DEALT WITH

Are there a few, are there lots, are some useful idiots??

WE NEED NAMES

LET’S GO

[dchill]

3. Here in Pennsylvania, Scott Perry comes to mind.

[localroger]

4. There was undoubtably a sales tour

Highest probability for who did it would be Jared. Someone had to go around to potential buyers like Putin, MBS, etc. and ask them, what might be worth your money that our guy has access to while he does? And a shopping list was assembled. Then someone had to go around to the various agencies where the documents were stored collecting them. Again, Jared is at the top of the likely list. It was deliberate and protracted and very deliberate.

[Mr.Bill]

8. I remember how important it was to Trump

that Jared have a top security clearance, even though they recommended against it.

[certainot]

53. jared, slyly questioning those in the know to get the most value or leverage for get-out-of-jail

[ashredux]

5. Flynn.... For sure

[BOSSHOG]

6. And let's add treasonous bastard Mike Pompeo to the list

Of garbage who knew what the enemy wanted. Making trump and his cadre the enemy within.

[Traildogbob]

7. Yea

That pig comes to mind. And he has intentions on running for President. That must never happen.
Could you imagine Pompeo and Flynn as VP? GQP sure can. Fucking Patriots that they are.

[GoCubsGo]

9. Paul Manafort, too.

Also, Ron Johnson and the other GOPers who made that July 4 trip to Moscow.

[BOSSHOG]

10. Every elected Republican at the federal level

That should get about 87% of the guilty

[RANDYWILDMAN]

24. Pompeo had a finger in this

for sure

[FakeNoose]

35. Pompeo ran the CIA for over a year, before he became Secretary of State

He had access to top secret docs for the duration of Chump's term. I'd say Pompeo is a good bet, along with Mike Flynn.

[joanbarnes]

11. Pyutin, obviously

[NQAS]

12. Paging the Helsinki translator (nt)

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. This has been on my mind from the beginning. He isn't smart enough to know what to steal

without help.

[SheltieLover]

17. Same here, Ferret!

[Ferrets are Cool]

37. Happy Sunday SL

[SheltieLover]

38. Thx!

Same to you & Mrs.

[catrose]

52. Yes

[relayerbob]

14. Flynn was one, for sure

Probably, the main person. He knew what was valuable and where to find it.

[Jade Fox]

15. I've been wondering that as well.....

Someone else had to do the planning.

[SheltieLover]

16. Absofuckingloutely!

[Warpy]

18. I think it was smash and grab on his part

Kushner might have slipped some goodies in there he thought he could shift for a quick sale.

[Ray Bruns]

41. That is what I think also. Dumb illiterate bastard probably has no

idea what is in those files.

[Warpy]

42. Well, he did know which boxes to hold back and satash in the storage area

I guess Jared told him there was some good stuff in those.

Mostly, he's a fucking toddler, screaming "MINE!" instead of doing the sensible thing of handing it all over when he got caught.

[Cha]

19. Damn Straight! JT Always Gets

to the heart of the matter.. or in this case.. The Fascist Fuck of the Matter..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Something's very amiss with this picture. I'm just trying to figure this all out

Supposedly, top secret classified documents are clearly marked and are kept separately. But there was no such routine in the final days. If these secret documents were among a mishmash of other documents, do we really think that trump was enough of an evil brainiac to know that these important docs were hidden within ?

I hate the MF more than anyone on this planet. But my reaction now is that it was more about "those docs are mine". " I have no earthly idea what the documents are, but they're mine and you are not taking them."

Just remember, it has been written that he couldn't even concentrate on the most simple chart without words, just pictures. Is it likely that he would be able to differentiate documents?

[wsulik]

28. I agree with you

Trump is no mastermind. He doesn't seem to be able to see the consequences of his actions. Not that I think that should get him off the hook, mind you, because I definitely think he should face the firing squad for his numerous "accidents."

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. On one hand, he appears to be a bumbling fool. On the

other hand, he's skirted SO many crimes you could think he's a diabolical criminal. Guess it just proves that he had enough money and enough super loyal fans around him and mastered mafia techniques... He can get away with it all. Like a perfect storm we will never encounter again. Lucky us to have witnessed it

[Eyeball_Kid]

34. Trump has had limited success as a micromanager. He's made some good moves tactically.

There will be a first indictment. Others will follow. And then there will be a noticeable shrinkage in his loyal fandom. Even now, based upon an election, he doesn't have enough votes and he won't expand his cult. So he's on his way to losing even more. The GOP leadership will see that decrease in support and start getting lippy-- not because of his obvious felonies, but because his support will shrink even more. If the base can't challenge the Dems, they're of no use to the leadership.

[dalton99a]

21. Flynn, Manafort, Kushner

[rubbersole]

29. Treason bingo!

[Irish_Dem]

36. Yes.

[ecstatic]

22. It's not like he took one or two specific folders. He took a ROOM full of classified documents

and multiple witnesses have commented on his motivations for taking all those documents. TFG is a lifelong criminal in his own right and doesn't necessarily need someone to coach him or trick him into it. But if someone did assist him, that person should be prosecuted as well.. to the fullest extent of the law. SMH

[The Roux Comes First]

23. AND Who Did the Stealing?! And Made Arrangements at the Crime Scene?

The yam does not seem to have skills beyond cheating at golf. No light lifting, never mind heavy. Jared is almost too obvious a candidate, although actual physical effort seems almost beyond him, too. But those kids have to have been good for something.

[Bayard]

25. Stephen Miller

Been thinking that since the news broke.

[Historic NY]

26. I hope they lift fingerprints

[mrsadm]

33. I heard Glenn Kirschner say they would probably take DNA

[bringthePaine]

27. fuckin' serious conspiracy, likely capital criming all over this

[Disaffected]

30. I dunno, maybe he just stole

whatever documents had Top Secret written on them and were available to him for swiping.

[Aussie105]

31. Probably a simple answer.

Anything with 'Top Secret' etc on it, would seem important to him and potentially be worth money to a foreign power in a fire sale.

Trump had no respect for the running of the government or the country before he took over, nor would he have for what followed him.

But money . . . . well, that is a clown of a different color to him!

[MagickMuffin]

39. Been wondering the same, you'd think there would be CCTV EVERYWHERE!

Sign in papers of who ever entering the rooms where these documents were stored.


Seems to me there are video coverage for these rooms.

[onecaliberal]

40. Flynn, Manafort, Putin

He gave the Russians highly classified Intel in the Oval Office 5 minutes after he got there. It was widely reported. Dump weaponized DOJ did nothing.

[Martin68]

43. I'd been wondering the same thing. I suspect he ordered someone to look for very specific files and

put them to one side.

[lunatica]

44. That person will probably be the next fall guy thrown

under the bus. We must realize by now that Trump would take the entire country down in order to get away with his crimes

[lunatica]

45. He waited for his briefings to find out what docs to take.

If his briefing was about nuclear information the documents made it into the boxes marked “future $$$$$$$$$$!”

[childfreebychoice]

46. I remember reading that t* didn't attend his first sit down Intel meeting til july

2016. Also, can't get pic out of my head, of grassley's and feinstein's faces after they left Intel meeting, early in t* admin. They were pasty white, and looked terrified. They knew he was a security risk, early on

[OMGWTF]

47. Traitorous MoFos the Flynn brothers come to mind.

Reactivate, bust them down to PFC, and give them a dishonorable discharge and free board and room at Gitmo for the rest of their lives.

[not fooled]

48. He probably hid and/or marketed secret documents throughout his presidency

Jared et al. probably peddled information throughout red don's term in office.

They might already have had a considerable trove of documents accumulated over four years. Some more maybe were added at the end but I think they already had the majority of what they wanted in hand.

[ThoughtCriminal]

50. Maybe it was a "Smash and Grab" robbery

You know - just anything he could get his hands on. Putin and-Bone-saw may have been disappointed.

[Joinfortmill]

54. Flynn
