Fair and likely but Mary doesn’t fucking know anything.
True, but these are not the words of innocent men.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek in a Saturday email that it is "unprofessional" to ask if the binder was sold to Russia. "What proof do you have?" he asked.
It sounds like Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung also has no clue, but he's seen this one enough times to know that his outright denial would probably be contradicted by Trump within the week.
Ah, the ol' Criminal reverse burden/onus of proof. Counter with the old motherly trick, why might I have reason to even need to bring this up with you...
What would Mary do/There's something off about Mary...
It sounds like this story originated with Trump to create a fake news story to distract from the real news of his court cases.
This whole binder story smells like the kind of news stories we were fed during the early years of his presidency. It's so 2017, throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
We don't need any new controversies. We need to see the felonies that have already been charged be prosecuted intelligently and effectively.
Yea, this isn’t news
Yeah, I don't believe it, but only because he's too incompetent to have kept that kind of high treason a secret.
I absolutely would believe that he kept it with his poop magazines and it was stolen, or copied, by the Carpet King of Tampa, or a foreign intelligence asset. Either one is just as likely.
He's honestly stupid enough that he'd be bragging about the money he made from the sale if he did sell it
"I think NATO is going to be very surprised...I had the best Generals, they wouldn't be surprised...the traitor generals who supported the election hoax and Joe Biden, they'll be surprised because they aren't good, okay, they're bad, very bad. My dad, very smart, so smart, he always said sell your books when you're done with them. Did you know binders are books? No one knew, but they are. I'm very smart and very good at deals. I make the deals, I sold a book for 50 million dollars, a book? Can you imagine? Joe Biden wouldn't of gotten $20, so dumb. I got the most votes, ever, can you believe that?"
That's my point. I don't believe he sold it to the Russians. I can absolutely believe that his actions directly lead to being aquired by foreign agents, or the Carpet King of Tampa.
When Trump hosted the KGB diplomats in the White House, when he confiscated his translators notes after his meeting with Putin, after he betrayed the Kurds, the media would ask, "Why did Trump do this?"
There were always a range of possible reasons, but only one that explained them all with perfect sense. I suggest everyone read American Kompromat by Craig Unger. There is a trail of circumstantial evidence Trump has been a Russian asset since at least 1986.
There is a piss tape
At this point, do you really think it will damage him?
The piss tape had a lot more than just the sex act. It was full of kompromat.
Still, at this point I can't really see it damaging him.
Republicans seem to be way way past caring about morality, ethics, or embarrassment of any kind.
If he enjoyed a prostate massage, that might do it. Never underestimate homophobia
If the description I've heard is correct (that he asked two prostitutes to pee on the bed because Obama slept in it once) there is probably going to be a lot of racism, the peeing itself which is gross, and let's face it the prostitutes were probably underage. I could see that hurting him, give the right is so obsessed with Epstein and grooming, but they've already waved every terrible thing he has done away so you're probably right. The right wouldn't care.
Rules for thee, not gonna make a fucking dent in how is followers perceive him.
The reveal of his goomba might.
The P in P-tape is pedophilia
He is known to have raped underage girls and pootin has the goods, just as likely through Epstein
why is that pig not in chains
Because those in power support this kind of behavior.
Republicans in power.
Redundant, given the current state of things, sadly.
Correction. They support your outrage. They want it to become a shit show so you won't pay attention to the dozen of things they should be doing. Or working for the people. This kind of thing just makes certain decisions that seem less important get passed or neglected.
May have? It would be more surprising news if he didn't.
Business is business, isn’t that what he says? Business as usual for a bloke who keeps top secret documents in his spare bathroom.
May have? This guy would sell his own daughter if he could. And I'm not eve talking about the one whose name he doesn't know, I'm talking about the one he wants to fuck.
It's obvious that Trump sold out US intelligence assets across the world, leading to major setbacks in our intel community and the deaths of multiple people, so if this is true... will it make any difference? At all? Trump could come out and declare himself a vassal of the New Russian Empire and his followers would still lick his boots, and 'moderates' would say "Well, what about the DEMONRATS"
They, in fact, do talk up Russia as though it is some free speech, all the guns you want, libertarian paradise. It's incredible to see.
all the guns you want
More, even. Now get out there on the front line, maggot.
Fucking duh. Why else would he have taken a fucking truckload of classified docs?
Oh so she just learned that he may have sold a binder? She wasn't just holding onto this little pearl in order to sell another book was she? Any of Trump's circle, even his ostensibly "nice" niece Mary, is just an opportunist looking to cash in on the chaos.
Man what is up with Republicans and their binders?
Where the fuck are all your patriots on this one?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The binder in question contained raw intelligence that the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies collected on Russia's alleged election interference in 2016, when Trump beat his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton for the presidency, among other documents, according to Reuters who spoke with a source familiar with the matter.
"Let me put it this way, if the government ever had evidence Donald Trump purposely handed classified info to a hostile power, he would never see the light of day again," she wrote, who also added that the documents could have also been destroyed, lost, or kept by someone.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek in a Saturday email that it is "unprofessional" to ask if the binder was sold to Russia.
Trump wanted to declassify materials in the binder related to the FBI's investigation into Russia's alleged election interference, according to the source.
A federal court document filed in August by journalist John Solomon, who Trump appointed to be a representative authorized to access his presidential records in the National Archives, gives some insight into who had their hands on the missing binder.
On January 19, 2021, just one day before Trump left office, Meadows invited Solomon to the White House to review declassified pages and discuss its public release, according to the court document.
