Russian propagandists stated have proclaimed that if former President Donald Trump was indeed hiding classified documents related to nuclear weapons at his Mar-a-Lago compound in Palm Beach, Florida, the Kremlin has already seen them.
Russia 1 host Evgeny Popov issued his taunt hours after Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart of the Southern District of Florida unsealed the warrant that the United States Department of Justice obtained ahead of what Trump called the "raid." The warrant revealed that Trump is suspected to have violated the Espionage Act.
"Turns out that the investigation against Trump has to do with the secret documents from the White House, related to the new development of new nuclear weapons by the US," Popov said.
"The FBI isn't saying what kinds of weapons or what they found at Trump's estate. Obviously, if there were any important documents, they've been studying them in Moscow for a while," Popov continued. "What's the point of searching?"

Sounds more like they threw Trumpy under the bus.

(14,311 posts)They will say anything to their captive audience that makes Russia look important and America incompetent, corrupt, and/or subservient to Putin. They also just make shit up on the spot.
The theory that they lost a bidding war over these to Saudi Arabia seems more likely, IMO.

(7,522 posts)I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump Administration leaked nuclear secrets to Russia, but I also wouldn't be surprised if these propagandists are lying and just trying to stir up a hornet's nest.

It's saying the speaker doesn't know, that he's ignorant (of the facts). Basing a conclusion on ignorance...?

(1,781 posts)part of the game is knowing when one is being trolled. This is what Russia does, it's what they always do.
Sadly, I believe them on this point. Our national secrets have been compromised so badly for the past 6-7 decades, there are few real secrets.
