Newsweek: Russian Media Reporting that Moscow Already 'Studying' Top-Secret Records From Trump Raid

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

Quotes:
Hosts on Russia's state-owned Russia-1 television channel said that officials in Moscow have already been "studying" top secret and other classified documents the FBI sought through a search warrant of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort home.

Russia-1 reported on the raid in a segment shared to Twitter late Friday evening by Julia Davis, a columnist for The Daily Beast and the creator of the Russian Media Monitor. During the segment, state-run television host Evgeny Popov mentioned the reporting about nuclear weapons.

"Turns out that the investigation against Trump has to do with the disappearance of secret documents from the White House, related to the development of nuclear weapons by the U.S.," Popov said. "The FBI isn't saying what kinds of weapons, or what they found in Trump's estate. Obviously, if there were any important documents, they've been studying them in Moscow for a while."

2. Russia lies too........

[PortTack]

4. Yes they do. If they had been studying them, why are they just now talking about it?

My guess, they think it will embarrass us. Whether it does or not it sure looks bad to the five eyes!

10. Especially if it fits their agenda of destroying US in any way shape or form. nt

6. Newsweek and Russia? What, Lance Armstrong wasn't available for comment on this?

Baghdad Bob? Alan Dershowitz?

Dershowitz is a columnist for Newsweek now. Surely they could have gotten his input.

9. Of course they have been, & the agents payroll data trump stole. nt

[Master Jah-Remi]

11. Obvious propaganda.

It seems to me, if they really had these documents, it would be in their best strategic interests to say nothing about them. The actual information seems way more valuable then the psy-ops angle of telling us they have these secrets would net them. Plus why clue in the US Gov on what secrets they know. You would want the US to not know what you know. This is very cheap agit-prop I'd bet.

14. I know right. The Democrats will never recover if they release the Pee tape.

15. Probably how FBI learned something was amiss.

Putin might’ve bragged off of some document last seen in Dump’s tiny hands. The purloined papers were with Marmalardo for a year before NARA asked for them back. FBI, NSA, etc might’ve also asked without publicity. Trump Organization kept them under lock and key, right.
