The Missing Classified Binder On Russiagate




CNN is reporting that in the last chaotic days of the Malignant Loser's reign, a highly classified binder containing unredacted raw intelligence concerning Russia's interference in our elections to benefit the Malignant Loser and fellow Trumpists went missing. To this day, it has not been located. From CNN:

"The binder contained raw intelligence the US and its NATO allies collected on Russians and Russian agents, including sources and methods that informed the US government’s assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to help Trump win the 2016 election, sources tell CNN.

The intelligence was so sensitive that lawmakers and congressional aides with top secret security clearances were able to review the material only at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where their work scrutinizing it was itself kept in a locked safe.

The binder was last seen at the White House during Trump’s final days in office. The former president had ordered it brought there so he could declassify a host of documents related to the FBI’s Russia investigation. Under the care of then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, the binder was scoured by Republican aides working to redact the most sensitive information so it could be declassified and released publicly."  (our emphasis)

The Malignant Loser's intent was to distribute supposedly redacted copies to right wing media, exposing the CIA's and other friendly intelligence agencies' sources and methods in compiling the intelligence. That would have endangered the lives of American assets in hostile countries. The report continues:

"But an unredacted version of the binder containing the classified raw intelligence went missing amid the chaotic final hours of the Trump White House. The circumstances surrounding its disappearance remain shrouded in mystery.

US officials repeatedly declined to discuss any government efforts to locate the binder or confirm that any intelligence was missing.

The binder was not among the classified items found in last year’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, according to a US official familiar with the matter, who said the FBI was not looking specifically for intelligence related to Russia when it obtained a search warrant for the former president’s residence last year."  (our emphasis)

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson believes she saw former chief-of-staff Mark Meadows take the unredacted copy out of the White House, an allegation that Meadows' lawyer denies. 

The key person who had his hands on the unredacted copy, with a vengeful reason to see who in the intelligence community here and abroad exposed the Russiagate plot, is the Malignant Loser himself. The fact that it wasn't found on a narrow search of Merde O' Lardo means he's squirreled it away at another of his properties. That should be added to Special Counsel Jack Smith's list of things to query the Malignant Loser about under oath.

Maybe it is being protected by his late wife at Bedminster.
