Was Trump selling/giving Vlad/Russia our satellite intel/data that we were giving the Ukrainians ..

.... in their fight with Russia? No doubt we have "eyes in skies" over Ukraine and some of that information might
very well have found its way to the Ukrainian Military and so was Trump selling out America and the Ukrainians too?

On the papers found @ Merde a Logo / TK refers to satellite collection.


Here’s what some of those markings mean:

* HSC-P refers to a product of Human Intelligence (HUMINT).
* HSC-O refers to an operation being conducted with HUMINT.
* TK refers to satellite collection.
* SI-G refers to intercepts from Signals Intelligence (SIGINT).
* FRD refers to former Restricted Data — that is, materials formerly restricted under the Atomic Energy Act. Bill Leonard, the former head of ISOO, explains that this material is still covered by AEA, meaning the President cannot unilaterally declassify it.

FRD is still covered by the Atomic Energy Act. It primarily refers to the military utilization of nuclear weapons and can be handled as classified NSI but it is not NSI and is still covered by the Atomic Energy Act, thus even the President cannot unilaterally declassify.

Thanx to DUer Nevilledog for posting this.

As of January 20th, 2021 trump was no longer President. Russia did not invade Ukraine until February of 2022.

So unless trump has been sneaking back into the White House, papers he took while leaving office would not have had any information we were giving to the Ukrainians after the Russian invasion

And occupied portions of it throughout the entire Trump administration, while conducting a hybrid war against the Ukrainian army during that time period as well.

SI-G refers to something called GAMMA, which is a certain type of SIGINT collection. Can't go into more detail than that.

.. which he could talk about but Trump just telling Vlad
our capabilities is chilling. Even though it might be up to date I'm sure he could "use it."
