Dumb question:

How did seizing the physical documents help our safety? Could he or staff have just taken photos, copied on an old fashioned copier, and kept copies?

I’m so confused why everyone is fixiared on these boxes when we all know that it’s digital files that really matter.

Flynn the altruist. Taking money from Turkey under the table to help kidnap someone from the US. Having the tab picked up to fly to Moscow and sit at a table with Putin. Trying to capitalize with the Saudis on Trump’e election on Inauguration Day 2017. The man is a snake.

Wow, you must've been really thirsty.

Trump was more than happy to leverage the Saudis as a bulwark against Iran and give MBS operational freedom to commit war crimes in Yemen.

Waiting to see what the spin on that is going to be.

This is going to be tricky to spin. I don’t see how anyone can justify selling our nuclear prowess. This is not remotely connected to owning the libs. It’s treason.

Trump already started it days ago, saying the evidence was PLANTED. It's going to be the main right wing talking point.

Just like Trump paved the way before the 2020 election, saying that if he didn't win outright, it would mean the election had been stolen.

Same old playbook, every time.

But oh Lordy, the FBI has tapes.

But can't show the documents because top top top secret. And can't list them on the warrant, or in the affidavit. Only 'sources familiar with the investigation' can leak it to the WaPo and NYT

Just Wapo, and boy is the NYT and Maggie Haberman green with envy. CNN waited a bit then went ahead of published headlines citing the WaPo. NYT hates this and is trying to add more info so they have their own article.

So MBS finally got what he wanted, and his political future is assured within his country.

Or is the deal off now? I hope the DOJ caught it in time!

Is this why Biden ran to make nice with him? Now they have a few nuclear deets?

Remember that f*cker Flynn and his insane plot to give nuclear weapons to the Saudis?

I hope and pray this is just my progressive friends getting facts wrong. Because if true, this would be a huge security issue. We overclassify things. I read various reports and wonder why stuff is classified. But of all the things that should be closely guarded, I can’t think of much more relevant than our nuclear secrets.

It doesn’t specify whose nuclear weapons. Just as likely that it could be an assessment of an ally or geopolitical adversary. Disclosure of either would be a colossal intelligence issue.

There were issues with this reported by a whistleblower three years ago.

Recall that Jared got billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia.

SIGINT consisted of intercepted communications that in most cases have been decrypted. It can also include unencrypted telephone conversations or things like email. In other words, electronic spycraft. Bear in mind we spy on friends and foes alike.

Don’t worry. I’m sure there is a migrant caravan on its way to the rescue.

This is really awful. Our country, he just doesn't care. He only cares about himself.

We have politicians who are venal or corrupt but they also care about the country, have respect for their position and their duty. This complete disregard for all of that, it's really awful.

Upthread someone posted that Trump allies are being advised to stop defending him because worse will come to light.

We need to send Trump to Elba Island. Permanently.
