Maybe the trap worked

[newdayneeded]

In some of those documents he stole, the fbi planted a fake intelligence scenario. now they spotted Russia with that fake planted intelligence. They would know it could only come from one guy...donny dumbshit.

1. Possibly...

Except it would be the CIA not FBI.

8. This is a Right Wing talking point

Does DU really want to promote this line of thought?

[Bobstandard]

13. Huh? n/t

[intrepidity]

2. if only!

Treason of the highest order, caught red-handed!

We can dream, right?

[Irish_Dem]

3. Yep we cannot rule out that Trump was given a time bomb.

Something the GOP could use to blow him up politically at any time.

4. I always had a suspicion that TFG was handed bogus TS information to be passed along to Putin

accounting for his spectacular intelligence failure in Ukraine.

Ya never know.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. An interesting possibility, very interesting (tRUMP passing docs to Russian intelligence, etc.).

The guy is desperate for money, way too much so. It's a serious disease w/ the guy.

6. Like with color printers, there are yellow single dpi tracking dots to identify the source printer.

.

There could be a multitude of watermarks placed on those documents to identify the owner.

7. +1

9. Trashing....

Not only an unsupported conspiracy theory, but a meaningless one.

[newdayneeded]

15. Wow

It's sunny here, it must be raining by you

[brooklynite]

17. This is about the tenth conspiracy theory someone's come up with in the past 24 hours...

My patience is running low.

[newdayneeded]

19. ok, I get it

But maybe legitimately they know what Intel was taken by trump (not planted) and that intelligence did indeed end up on foreign soil.

That would trigger a raid I would think.

[brooklynite]

20. Absent any shred of evidence by the people here, it's a conspiracy theory.

I'll stick to known facts.

[Beetwasher.]

10. It's Called a Honey Pot

And I agree, there’s no way Trump could resist, everyone knows that.

[Raven123]

11. Suggesting the FBI planted anything feeds into TFG's desired narrative

He wants people to believe the FBI has it in for him. I prefer to avoid such speculation

[Bobstandard]

12. I really enjoyed this

OP is an amusing bit of speculation with just enough evidence in the wind to make it a real possibility

[moondust]

14. Possible.

I was wondering if he may have given Putin some intel on Ukraine to help with his invasion. TFG's first "encounter" with Zelensky led to the first impeachment so he may have harbored some hostility and relished a chance at revenge.

Of course it didn't have to be a deliberate trap. It could just be that intel intercepted some revealing communications and they tipped off the DOJ. Or something else entirely.

[tinrobot]

16. Possible, but that would be a tough sell politically.

I can see indicting him for selling actual secrets somewhere. Perhaps if there was tracking info on the documents themselves.

But handing a sitting President fake information? Then indicting him for distributing it?

I can see the Fox News chyrons already. No way that plan gets implemented.

[imanamerican63]

18. The fake docs could cross the threshold of breaking laws?

And it would take a lot of cooperation amongst top WH officials and administration members.

[BlueIdaho]

21. OMG - that would be amazing...

I so hope they ran that scenario.
