I don't think most people realize how serious this is.

[fightforfreedom]

Hundreds of top secret documents laying around a resort for 18 months. They were not secure at all and there is no way of telling how many people saw them. There is no way of telling who Trump shared the documents with, sold the documents too.

The chances Trump has secret documents laying around at other resorts is about 100%. Trump probably doesn't know where he stashed all the secret documents. He just threw them in boxes with magazines. It was like he was collecting stamps or baseball cards. He is bat shit crazy.

1. and how many secret informants deaths can be attributed to this thug?

I hope the CIA or DoJ has some figures on that. It's rather difficult to grasp how horrible this orange menace has been.

6. This! In a court of law the time line with no other evidence it would certainly be considered as

Circumstantial evidence….coincidental

We all know tfg meeting in Helsinki with pootie, and following events leading up to the report that operatives were being killed or captured…it’s a hell of a lot more than coincidence!

[Alexander Of Assyria]

2. What if Obama did it? So the corporate media would be demanding the hangman's scaffolding be setup!

Why isn’t it?!

Don’t ask them.

[LexVegas]

3. I don't think you know how serious it is.

[fightforfreedom]

5. In a way, you are right.

[Irish_Dem]

22. None of us know how bad it is.

It is only beginning to sink in.

And the full facts will never be made public.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Russians are Russians

As the Alger Hiss case demonstrated, you could hide all the documents on a few flakes of microfilm and who is searching for that archaic storage method today? Plenty of opportunity to access the documents, but everyone here and offline is focusing on the copier scanning log. What if they used old undetectable methods?

[Meadowoak]

7. What are the chances that they KNEW better than to ever let

Trump anywhere near a real secret document and these are all fake ones? I know crazy, but it's possible.

8. Fingerprints

Can’t wait to hear about the fingerprints found on the documents.

[Iwasthere]

21. I brought this up the day of the raid

Forensics!!! How were they handled, how often, moved? Fingerprints, lighting... I just hope they had gloves and masks on when retrieving them.

9. pretty simple: Dumpy is using his stolen proceeds to blackmail US citizenry

[LaMouffette]

10. Remember when he shared information about the US's new nuclear system with journalist Bob Woodward?

According to Woodward's book Rage, Trump bragged to him:

“I have built a nuclear — a weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before. We have stuff that you haven’t even seen or heard about,” Trump told Woodward, according to the Post.

“We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about before,” Trump added, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. “There’s nobody — what we have is incredible.”

It terrifies me that not only do Putin and Xi know about the weapons system thanks to Trump, they may have obtained all of the details about it now too, also thanks to Trump.

11. Snake

He told us they knew he was a snake when they let him in. They didn't know the snake was batshit crazy and had a head on both ends.

[calimary]

16. Welcome to DU, WmChris!

Yep! I know that old chestnut: "...you knew I was a snake when you let me in."

Well worth remembering, for its relevance in quite a few different cases (and candidates).

[liberalmuse]

12. I'm just sick about it.

There are likely more documents lying around at various locations, too, if they aren't already in the hands of our foreign adversaries. Trump is the worst traitor (by far) in our nation's history and I'll bet he is one of the worst traitors of all time.

[yaesu]

13. Remember when Rand Paul hand delivered "a letter" to putin from tRump? Got to wonder what was

included in that letter, with that letter

18. Or the eight that went before him...

Never forget that in 2018, eight Republicans chose to spend July 4th in Moscow.

Sens. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Hoeven (N.D.), John Neely Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), John Thune (S.D.) and Ron Johnson (Wis.), plus Rep. Kay Granger (Tex.) all chose to go to Russia to make sure the Russians knew better than to mess in our elections...again!

Gotta wonder what training these 8 were getting to prepare them to overtake the government on January 6.

14. It too late..the horse has left the barn

[Historic NY]

15. Trump liked to impress people, remember he has a big brain..

Revealing info or even showing someone a secret document about anything he would do. Remember his fabricated Magazine covers. He's so vain and seeks the approval of others. The documents were easily accessible to his family and any people showing up there. He also traveled with secret documents, why the hell wasn't that stopped, not telling who he showed these things too.I wonder if he disseminated copies to impress others.

[Emile]

17. You can bet foreign agents are right now gaining access to

other Trump properties.

[DoUListenWhenUHear]

19. Why would they do that now?

They have seen everything Trump had to offer when they went after Trump first left office!

20. Best insider description of the seriousness I've seen so far, link inside

Nicole Wallace's guest is Sue Gordon...top IC expert. She's a serious IC person talking about serious IC issues

23. They want people to think it was like checking out a library book.

They are minimizing the heck out of it.

What's the late charge for returning a library book?
