Fox Host Wonders If Trump Sold State Secrets [VIDEO]
Fox Host Wonders If Trump Sold State Secrets [VIDEO]
“More questions are being raised this morning. Did former President Trump try to sell or share the highly classified material to the Russians or to the Saudis or others?
“Or were the documents innocently mishandled and stored because he thought he had a legal right to have them?
“And Russia’s state media already is claiming that Russian officials have seen the material. Empty boasts or has there been a leak that officials fear could pose a grave danger to the United States security?
“How would they get this if it’s under lock and key or was it? Because the Feds apparently told them back in June that you got to put all padlock on that on the storage room.
“We don’t know where this stuff was floating around.” – Fox News host Eric Shawn.

Ask yourself the question: “Can he get any money for the
documents ? Then think about what the Orange twat would do — would he care that by selling them he’d be a traitor or would he rather be that much richer ? Evil traitor or Cash in the pocket ???
Fox is cutting TFG loose, they’re going to throw their adulation towards DeathSantis, you watch he’ll start appearing on all their ‘shows’ soon and they’ll start pushing his agendas.

DeathSantis’ agenda is the same as Trumps. That’s why they like him, he’s more predictable than Trump and knows how to keep the quiet parts quiet.
‘How dare they’: Legendary journalist on GOP rhetoric
Let’s talk about 5 stories from Trump’s very bad 48 hours….
REPORT: Docs May Have Had Payroll Info On US Spies
We are learning that the DOJ had video recordings of the storage area that caused them a lot of concern. We see that these documents are very valuable to a foreign government. Imagine the damage to nation security this information about who is a spy could cause. The fact that trump is this careless with national secrets of the highest level really shows he shouldn’t ever have been president and must never be again. Nor should any of his maga supporters in any elected office at any level. It is well known that trump is in money troubles and that he faces over 600 million dollars of loans coming due this next year. How much would any government give him for the spy information or the nation’s nuclear secrets? Hugs
Newsweek reports:
In pursuing the unprecedented search of Donald Trump’s residence on Monday, the FBI was seeking to retrieve Top Secret and “compartmented” documents dealing with intelligence “sources and methods,” two federal government sources tell Newsweek—documents with the potential to reveal U.S. intelligence sources, including human sources on the American government payroll.
This greatly complicates any public discussion of the documents or any substantiation of Trump’s potential violation of U.S. law. The sources, who were briefed on the investigation, requested anonymity in order to discuss sensitive information.

He never worked for the American people, he works for the highest bidder.

The thing that pisses me off is that Garland (and Biden) knew he had these docs and wasted months negotiating with that mfer to get them back.
I read where tRump threatened Garland, saying he was making some of tRump’s friends very angry. Literally mob-like threats. He has all kinds of knowledge that he can use to blackmail the government and keep them from prosecuting him. He is the biggest threat to our democracy in American history.
Gustav2 j.martindale • 2 hours ago
I’ve thinking for a while he took them as a protection from being prosecuted.
It goes without saying that he only had those documents in order to sell them to the highest bidder, no matter who that might be.
Statistics Palin rednekokie • 31 minutes ago
It is also possible the lists included FBI informants on domestic terrorism/insurgency. – informants on Trump’s blow buddies.
It looks like Russia has seen the nuclear documents, or so they claim
Boreal DirtyPierre • 2 hours ago
Trump was probably shopping these docs while he was still in office.
Fearsome Beard Boreal • 2 hours ago
No doubt that he hasn’t been shopping potential access to them since before he was elected.

Putin: Jackpot!
I know he’s a shit bag and a nasty individual, but this… this level of espionage shocked and saddened me. At this point I don’t know why I’m shocked, but I’m definitely sad…
What a fucking shit bag.
What’s worse is the 30% of the country defending him… declaring that serial liar Trump has more credibility that the entirety of the US government’s national security and intelligence apparatus.
They rest easy in the comfort of that security while they cheer Trump’s attempts to tear it all down.
Here’s hoping he finally gets held accountable for his malfeasance…🤞
This will get real ugly real quick. Most Republicans backed themselves in a corner, and actually do not support treason. But their lip flapping and now the evidence is going to put them in a quandary, and just before the midterms. Which is always a good thing.
Trump possibly could’ve had foreign powers look at those documents or he could’ve transmitted those documents to foreign powers. This is the very definition of treason.
If the Democrats are smart, and they usually are not, this would be the question they would ask their constituents. Is it OK to support a candidate who commits treason? There will always be the few who do. But the majority will not.
Trump Lawyer Told DOJ All Docs Had Been Returned
The New York Times reports:
At least one lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump signed a written statement in June asserting that all material marked as classified and held in boxes in a storage area at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and club had been returned to the government, four people with knowledge of the document said. The written declaration was made after a visit on June 3 to Mar-a-Lago by Jay I. Bratt, the top counterintelligence official in the DOJ’s national security division.
The existence of the signed declaration, which has not previously been reported, is a possible indication that Mr. Trump or his team were not fully forthcoming with federal investigators about the material. And it could help explain why a potential violation of a criminal statute related to obstruction was cited by the department as one basis for seeking the warrant used to carry out the daylong search of the former president’s home on Monday.

Theyve just said the the DoJ has hacked the security cameras at Mar-a-Lago.
Priceless.

My hope is the feds seize Mar a Lago because it was used for espionage against the United States.
Isn’t that one of the best tools used against drug dealers?
Dreaming Vertebrate Charlie In SF • 17 hours ago
They used their top-secret Italian satellite capabilities. 😉
Is it just me or does it seem Trump has lost his mojo when it comes to denials?
Or is it just that his latest crimes are truly indefensible?
Ari Melber offered a pretty good summary of how Trump’s defiant bluster in the media quickly turns to meek acceptance once he realizes he’s really in a tough place… to wit, his pathetic pleading the fifth last week.
In that context, this situation will be fun to watch.

Armed Cultists Rally At Phoenix FBI Office [VIDEO]
Armed maga thugs, trump brownshirts, with the intent to intimidate the ones they are against / hate which in this case is law enforcement. They did this to school board meetings over masks and Covid precautions, they have done this to the drag queen story hours, they have done this to schools / libraries over LGBTQ+ materials. This is what open carry means to them. The power to make others fearful. They are the enforcement arm of the republican party, and the party loves to support them and to aim them at their enemies. Scary and it is going to get worse. Hugs
Phoenix’s Fox affiliate reports:
Signs reading “Honor your oath” and “Abolish FBI” were seen outside the FBI office in Phoenix on Aug. 13, just days after news broke that the agency searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. Several of those who were there were armed with guns.
FBI agents seized classified records from Trump’s home during the agency’s unprecedented raid on Aug. 8, including some marked as top secret, according to a warrant and property receipt. Trump disputes the classification, saying the records have been declassified.

This is domestic terrorism and needs to be treated as such.
Well hell! Let’s get some more of those ‘open carry’ laws passed!
I mean, what could go wrong?…..or maybe the rethugs wanted this all along…
Reality.Bites JB • an hour ago
Yeah, but your country decided a long, long time ago that citizens walking around with guns is perfectly OK.
There are lots of ways in which the United States is different from every other democracy on earth. And not one of them makes it better or more free.
Look at them, backing the blue. How cute.
Can we stop treating armed white people like they are harmless and treating unarmed black people like they’re a dire threat now?
If anyone in the area encounters any of these goons, you can easily escape them by walking up a couple of stairs…
Imagine if they folks were a different skin color.
They’d been blown to bits by now.
As someone posted on BB… if they were POC doing this, they would mostly be dead now.
Trump’s latest defense for Mar-a-Lago documents is everyone ‘brings home their work from time to time’ and the files were automatically declassified
There are steps that must be taken to declassify material and it cannot be done with a standing order, handwaving, or trump bellowing “Mine, my precious”. In fact the president cannot declassify some nuclear secrets. Also remember that trump lost both the clearance a president has and his right to intelligence briefings because Biden said he was erratic. The fact is this is a national security matter. He had these documents that were highly classified improperly stored and he is known to be associating with two foreign government that desperately want those documents, Russia and Saudi Arabia. Some of the documents are so secret thatthe FBI plans to dust them for prints. Hugs
Former President Donald Trump in the Oval Office.
- Trump’s new explanation for Mar-a-Lago documents is that “everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time.”
- Trump claimed he had a “standing order” to declassify documents “the moment” they left the Oval Office.
- The DOJ is investigating whether Trump broke three laws when he took government records to Mar-a-Lago.
Former President Donald Trump said that everyone takes work home sometimes, as he sought to develop a new line to explain why top secret government documents were stored at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
“As we can all relate to, everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time. American presidents are no different,” said the statement from Trump’s office on Friday night read out on Fox News.
Trump further claimed that he had a “standing order” to declassify documents “the moment” they left the Oval Office.
“President Trump, in order to prepare for work the next day, often took documents, including classified documents, from the Oval Office to the residence. He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken into the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them,” the statement said.
It claimed that the power to classify and declassify documents rests solely with the president and that he did not need approval from a “paper-pushing bureaucrat.”
This new defense – portraying Trump as just another hard-working American – contradicts previous statements by Trump and his lawyers that baselessly claimed the FBI could have planted evidence while on site.
While the president has the authority to declassify documents, legal experts say they must follow a defined procedure. It is not clear if Trump ever did.
“He can’t just wave a wand and say it’s declassified,” Richard Immerman, a historian and an assistant deputy director of national intelligence in the Obama administration, told NBC News. “There has to be a formal process. That’s the only way the system can work.”
Immerman noted that declassified documents are marked with the date they were declassified. It is not the case with some of the documents returned from Mar-a-Lago to the National Archives this year, per NBC.
When reports of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago emerged in May, former Trump administration official Kash Patel claimed that Trump had declassified the files shortly before leaving office but that the classified markings had not been removed.
When searching Mar-a-Lago, FBI agents recovered 11 sets of classified documents, some of which were marked top-secret.
The Department of Justice is investigating whether Trump broke three laws, including the Espionage Act, when he took government records to Mar-a-Lago after he left office, according to the warrant unsealed on Friday.
One of the laws relates to removing information about the US’s national defense, and the other two relate to the concealment or destruction of government records.
The possible crimes being investigated do not depend on the classification of the documents.
“Because the Espionage Act speaks in terms of national defense information, it leaves open the possibility that such information could be unclassified as long as an agency is still taking steps to protect it from disclosure,” Steven Aftergood, who runs the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, told The New York Times.

He sounds like a second-grader trying to explain why they don’t have their homework to turn in.
I didn’t take any documents
Okay, I took documents but they weren’t classified
Okay, they were top secret but I declassified them
Look over there, Obama took 30 million documents with him!
Texas Investigates Bar That Hosted Drag Event For Kids
The Christian Post reports:
The Texas comptroller said the state has opened an investigation into a Dallas bar that held a drag show for children earlier this summer.
In a statement released Friday, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar identified himself as one of many Texas parents who found themselves “disturbed by the recent images showing children participating in a drag show in the Dallas area, including one of a child placing money in a performer’s undergarment.”
Hegar’s announcement came one day after Republican state Rep. Bryan Slaton [photo] called on Hegar to treat Mr. Misster as a “sexually-oriented business.” As Slaton explained, “Sexually-oriented businesses are required to pay $5 per attendee present and they must also prevent children and sex offenders from attending or participating.”
Read the full article.
Slaton, who is fond of making public appearances carrying an assault weapon and wearing a belt of ammunition, first appeared on JMG in March 2021 when he introduced a bill making abortion a death penalty crime for doctors and even women who undergo the procedure.
Earlier this year he introduced a bill requiring genital exams for trans athletes in public schools.
As I reported in June, extremists mobbed and attempted to enter Mr. Misster during the show, hurling abuse at children and parents.

As usual the backward asses wants to make something funny as something stupid. And there are people out there who has no idea of the entertainment that Drag shows give. Just another way for the right wing assholes to turn communities against us.
If only children hadn’t been forced to attend this drag event. Oh, wait …
So, parents shouldn’t take their kids to these events, being irresponsible, BUT must be informed if their kids come out, or have related issues.

Former Trump WH Aide Doxxes Families Of FBI Agents
The Daily Beast reports:
Just hours after a list began circulating among right-wing media of FBI agents who signed off on the search warrant for Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property, a former Trump aide tried to sic MAGA fans on the family members of the purported agents.
Garrett Ziegler, who recently went on a sexist tear against former White House colleagues, took to Telegram to post the personal information of men he identified as agents.
The former Trump administration staffer further listed out the FBI agents’ date of birth, work emails and linked to alleged family members’ social media accounts. “We have to have faces,” he said. “There are people ruining America, and they have names, and emails, and addresses.”
Read the full article.
Ziegler’s Telegram channel is full of QAnon, racist, and anti-LGBTQ imagery.
He last appeared on JMG when he declared the Jan. 6 investigation to be a “Bolshevistic anti-White campaign.”
Not really OT:
Breitbart Slammed for Doxxing FBI Agents Involved in Mar-a-Lago Raid
https://www.newsweek.com/br…
Commentators soon took to Twitter to accuse Breitbart, an outlet previously managed by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, of doxxing—the practice of identifying a person or releasing personal information about them, often with the aim of enabling targeted harassment. Some also accused Trump of leaking the warrant to Breitbart in hopes of targeting the agents.
This is clearly to induce stalking, harassment, and threats to these agents and their families. Isn’t there any legal protection for this?
