Reports that the Malignant Loser had some 15 boxes containing classified documents in his suite at Merde-o'-Lardo prompted a nothing-to-see-here "ordinary and routine process" statement last night from him after the National Archives confirmed the reports. In a tweet commenting on the Malignant Loser's statement, the New York Times' Trump whisperer Maggie Haberman (author of "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America") noted that "by several accounts, he was waving documents from the boxes at people at mar-a-lago." It's not the first time Trump has treated highly classified material in a reckless manner: in May 2017, he shared secret information from Israeli intelligence with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the U.S. Kislyak as they celebrated Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey for digging too deeply into Russia's support of Trump during the 2016 election. Possessing classified information seemed to feed his sorry ego, and he was all too happy to share with others that he had that power.
Why he was permitted to leave the White House grounds with classified documents is a matter for a separate investigation, but of greater importance now is what those documents contained, and of what value were they to the Malignant Loser. Blackmailing his "enemies?" Extortion? Would it be beyond imagination that he would offer the information they contained to the highest bidder at some point in desperation or revenge? The National Archives referred the matter to the Justice Department, which so far appears to be a bottleneck for the prosecution of all things seditionist and Trump. This latest violation of national security would appear to be absolutely cut and dried for them.
Given that he has absolutely no fear of prosecution (a well founded confidence), he is far more likely pursuing his lifelong goal of monetizing everything. And further to that pursuit, he will, per tradition, lose money on the transaction. This will differ from his normal modus in that there will be nobody to stiff or sue afterwards, so how he will gain from this is still baffling, but you may be assured of one thing; we will be the worse off for it.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet Trump or one of his kids was planning on selling this stuff to the highest bidder. None of them have ever had to suffer the consequences of their actions so I'm sure that being caught never entered their little minds.
