So we know TFG is purely transactional so thus what General Flynns job may have been was to peddle the classified information to his contacts. He may not be the only courier: I would submit that Kushner and some lesser-known lights are quite capable of being pressed into service. Just a thought

.it really was my wifes thought originally. She just chided me for not giving her credit. I apologize to her and to the readers here for my misdeed

(6,719 posts)I thought Tillerson was a national security risk. And Melania was groomed for tfg by the FBS/KGB. Sure would explain a bunch. Donnie was deep in debt to putin.

(17,938 posts)that foreign intel services didn't even need to buy the stuff. Why, when supposed "custodians" can gather all the intel anyone could want at 3 in the morning, while the orange nut job is sleeping. Monetization wasn't necessary. Potentially the greatest intel disaster in American history. Mark my words.

(111,317 posts)I wondered if the contents of those folders were what got Kushner his $2.5 billion paycheck from the Saudis. Plus, we know Fake Rothschild was out and about and TFG was so dazzled by the name he didn't question it.
Then again, given his prior habits, he could have eaten the contents.
However, I think they need to assume the worst. Let's hope they learned an important lesson: grab stuff back sooner rather than later.

history will hopefully reveal the full extent of their perfidy.

(7,633 posts)My wife and I have been having the same kind of conversation over the dinner table the last couple of evenings. We suspect and expect that 1) there are other documents hidden in other places, 2) the important documents have been copied, 3) the important documents have been identified and appraised by competent national security and military experts of negotiable allegiance, and 4) interested parties are currently inspecting and negotiating for the purchase of the goods if they haven't made their purchases already.
The media attention is free advertising for the sellers and Trump thinks he can get away with it.

(74 posts)I can just see Trump in secret briefings or special "research projects".. While most leaders of the free world would be running countless scenarios to protect our country and freedom around the world.. Trump was likely thinking.. "How do I make money off this?"
I have seen people consider mafia motivations like grey mailing the DOJ to back off.. But this is Trump. I am betting on the money angle. He was using the documents for influence and revenue generation. Maybe he wasn't selling yet? His stuff sure seemed in disarray.. I can just see the dilemma there where he doesn't want to involve others, but then he has to process and sort the data himself. That could explain the mess. The empty folders could be choice stuff he moved to Bedminster / Trump NY high rise. Tunnel across the street? Kids houses.
To me, creating a collection to get safe passage to Russia/ Saudi Arabia is more likely than DOJ grey mail. I hope they find Michael Flynn prints all over the documents. That would be hard to explain. Vanilla Ice too. Can't believe George Hamilton was at MAL recently. Maybe Trumps tan advisor?
Wonder if taking the covers off made them easier to copy? For Orange Foolius and HP all in one printer. Copy only function..
Is it correct to believe that anybody who handled those documents and did not report it to fbi could be held legally responsible? Watch for those people to run or cut a deal with feds soon. Doj should announce this. "Anybody who handled government documents at Mal in last year - report to us now, before we call you in for questioning and it will be too late to plea bargain." That would make proving mishandling easier and really piss off Trump.
