  1. Utah’s plane broke. They were on the plane 4 hours before they came back to the terminal. Saw a post with all of the players just sprawled out in the terminal. Guess their coaches had shit to do and bailed on them?
  2. This paper thin defense is going to be hurting the second half of the season, but I like what Napier is doing so far. Etienne needs more touches. Him and AR on a speed option will be a load to deal with.
  3. Apparently this has already been covered somewhat. It will be difficult to nail down how many of those folders were tied to uncovered docs found elsewhere on site or if shit is just completely in the wind. Good thing we have a cooperative ex president that is more concerned about protecting the country’s secrets than his own personal gain…
  4. One thing I would caution, this inventory doesn’t seem to differentiate between classified cover sheets/folders and documents with classified markings anywhere beyond the empty folders. It’s possible that some of the classified documents from those folders were uncovered. Im sure the IC did a count on number of cover sheets/folders and number of individual artifacts presented to figure out if something is unaccounted for.
  5. Usually no. The cover sheets are generic by design. We had a stack of them next to our secret stamp in our SCIF so if you printed something you had a cover sheet ready to go.
  6. Correct, “We can neither confirm nor deny” is the only allowable response to the public for any of this stuff.
  7. Most social media apps have a website you can use. It just makes it more annoying.
  8. Fair point. Maybe she’s banking on CNN’s new RW outreach.
  9. “That just proves he declassified them!” -Maga rube
  10. She’s already dipped her toes into the RW media grift. The money is probably better and it’s less work than lawyering, so I doubt she cares about her license if it translates into a permanent gig on FN.
  11. Yea, I asked about this early on when they were floating the “GSA packed and transported it, not us.” There’s a zero percent chance a GSA employee would see these document cover sheets and not immediately leave the room and call his boss. This evidence removes any chance that this can be blamed on an accident or even negligence. This was intentional espionage.
  12. This thread is a really good plain language roll up of the DOJ filing. Edit: shit, should have read the prior page. Gilbang posted it.
  13. I’m curious how much of this is him being worried about the DOJ versus the recent reports about Truth struggling. Looks like he just started retweeting Q crazy red meat to drive up numbers.
  14. Expanding on my last post, I don’t see any way Desantis could get into office and then drag his feet on pardoning trump for 4 years. The maga mob would burn the fucking White House down if it took longer than 4 months. The bigger worry will be how far Desantis and company will take their reprisals. Based on his ready fire aim approach to election fraud stuff on Florida, it’s going to be rough for any D who has had their name uttered during a trump rally.
  15. I think the goodwill it would earn him would be worth the risk that Trump would run again at that point. He would be 82 in 2028, and running would just open him to more potential legal fuckery. He can do just as much damage to his enemies through elected loyalists and his mob anyway.
  16. I think the window is too small for him to face any serious consequences. If the Rs take the house they will immediately start creating top cover to slow the DOJs work down. If by some miracle he gets punished prior to 24 it’s pretty much a lock that the Desantis would win and immediately pardon him. Red legislatures have already laid the ground work for that to be a foregone conclusion, and this Supreme Court will look the other way. They could have video of him showing Russians humint that exposed operatives and informants and the Rs would brush it off or whatabout it. It’s red versus blue, and the only thing that matters is winning.
  17. More questions, did this classified info have the required document covers that prevents accidental reading and clearly marks the item as classified? If the GSA employee can enter the WH and pack up stuff in the WH, it’s almost certain they have a clearance. With a clearance you get annual refresher training on handling and storage of classified material. Someone with that training would know you don’t put classified shit into cardboard boxes in the back of a truck for transportation. It requires a courier card, document carrier, etc. Were archivists also not present for this packing of material to ensure that presidential material wouldn’t accidentally be shipped to MAL? An archivist didn’t recognize classified markings on documents?
  18. If Mark Meadows isn’t halfway to Venezuela by now he’s dumber than we thought.
  19. So the simplest of questions. Where did the GSA folks get these documents to pack? Was this stuff laying around unsecure in the WH when the packers came? This is stuff that should only be viewed in a SCIF, so if this was laying in the bottom drawer of the resolute desk and accidentally got packed… still a crime.
  20. Secret information can be expected to cause grave damage to national security by definition. He shouldn’t get a pass for any classified material that was compromised.
  21. FN seems to be coalescing around “if it was so sensitive, why did DOJ take 2 months to file for the warrant, and then wait 5 days to serve it.” There is no angle where their orange god is wrong. The required redactions will only help them keep sowing doubt.
  22. No fucking way you give him an inch after running on “lock her up” and then increasing the penalty for this very issue. There is also a wide gulf between having an e-mail server that a third party send classified info to, and boxing classified shit up from the WH, and then hiding and withholding it after the govt starts digging into it. The only out he could have is if he could point at an underling that pulled these items without his knowledge, but that would have happened during the first subpoena/meetings about the issue if that was true. He owns this.
  23. We will likely never know, if it’s classified they can’t confirm or deny anything about it publicly. That vacuum favors a liar unfortunately. Congress / committees should be a trusted check on that information, but Rs have shown they will twist or outright lie to protect the party and Trump, so we can’t expect any validation there either. As someone upthread said, Rs are in too deep at this point with Trump. Any break now would expose all the other shit they were complicit with, so that’s not an option.
  24. CINC is the highest classification authority, he absolutely can class/declassify stuff at will. The question is what process that entails. At a minimum it (should?) requires some paper trail to validate he declassified the info. Many classified items have multiple copies, and those markings need to be downgraded via a formal process. It’s not as simple as using a rubber stamp to cover the original classified marking and calling it good. That Hertling thread touched on it. It can be as simple as a memo for record stating what the documents are, but there has to be something to validate it happening. Otherwise a president can cover any espionage crime, including his own, by saying “I declassified that” upon discovery and we just have to call it good? Its fucking ridiculous that we have to even discuss something like this, but LAW AND ORDER!
  25. In theory, I guess. The problem is that wouldn’t retroactively make what Trump did illegal if we presume he can magically declassify shit by thought. Classifying something that has been in the public purview is practically impossible. Everyone that has seen the item would be required to sign an NDA for example. Everyone that viewed the item after its reclassified would be breaking the law, which in the age of the internet is, uh, hard to enforce. The Snowden stuff was a nightmare for classification holders, just watching the news opened you up to potential charges (not a joke, we got constant warnings about it). It’s pretty hard to put those horses back in the barn once something is downgraded. I don’t know of any examples of it happening.
