Anybody else seeing this type of angry reaction to recent developments? His reaction was a little surprising and reminded me of Kubler-Ross a bit.

Only among crazy MAGA types. How may be underestimating how far your father is into RWNJ territory.

This is a great summary of why DOJ was so alarmed. MF has probably jeopardized the security and safety of informants and our nation. Reckless doesn't even begin to describe this.

They risk imprisonment or death stealing the secrets of their own governments. Their identities are among the most closely protected information inside American intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Losing even one of them can set back American foreign intelligence operations for years.

Clandestine human sources are the lifeblood of any espionage service. This helps explain the grave concern within American agencies that information from undercover sources was included in some of the classified documents recently removed from Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of former President Donald J. Trump — raising the prospect that the sources could be identified if the documents got into the wrong hands.

Mr. Trump has a long history of treating classified information with a sloppiness few other presidents have exhibited. And the former president’s cavalier treatment of the nation’s secrets was on display in the affidavit underlying the warrant for the Mar-a-Lago search. The affidavit, released in redacted form on Friday, described classified documents being found in multiple locations around the Florida residence, a private club where both members and their guests mingle with the former president and his coterie of aides.

Mr. Trump and his defenders have claimed he declassified the material he took to Mar-a-Lago. But documents retrieved from him in January included some marked “HCS,” for Human Intelligence Control System. Such documents have material that could possibly identify C.I.A. informants, meaning a general, sweeping declassification of them would have been, at best, misguided.

“HCS information is tightly controlled because disclosure could jeopardize the life of the human source,” said John B. Bellinger III, a former legal adviser to the National Security Council in the George W. Bush administration. “It would be reckless to declassify an HCS document without checking with the agency that collected the information to ensure that there would be no damage if the information were disclosed.”

I tried to bring that and that’s what got me shouted down. It shocked me and I just dropped what I thought was just the normal teasing banter we usually engage in.

I'm sorry and I've been there, not only with my father. But my father, who I almost never saw get angry, who i could have long discussions with, who I thought was smart, reasonable, and absolutely knew right from wrong, was gleeful when that whole Kamala Harris bus thing happened in Texas. He thought it was funny. I'm glad he's 81 and I can chalk it up to aging because the Trumpism BS of my parents has been hard. Not the hardest, but hard.

It’s nauseating to think of. It’s more nauseating to think that the GOP could have stopped him at a thousand different turns, they just didn’t want to.

He had access to the documents all along. There were so many, he was obviously collecting them for some time.

Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.

He is a man with no love for this country, or anything else. Why people don’t see it is beyond me.

Aside from the illegal aspect, aren't people just embarrassed by his behavior? Clearly neither he, or his lawyers are very intelligent. And to defend them... I'm embarrassed for everyone.

Yes it’s always been an embarrassment.
But we are way pasted that now.
The damage done is incalculable.

Because your father is not just looking at this raid. He’s looking at a host of other FBI oversteps.

Would it be treason if he did out spy names to foreign adversaries? asking a lawyer.

Treason only applies to aid and comfort to enemies while we are at war.
