Donald Trump told staff he needed to protect 'Russiagate' docs

On Wednesday, Rolling Stone reported that former President Donald Trump told White House officials that he would protect documents that he believed would expose the Russia investigation as a hoax and reveal a "Deep State" conspiracy to destroy his presidency.

"The documents related to the federal investigation into Russian election meddling and alleged collusion with Trump’s campaign. At the end of his presidency, Trump and his team pushed to declassify these so-called 'Russiagate' documents, believing they would expose a 'Deep State' plot against him," reported Adam Rawnsley and Asawin Suebsaeng.

"According to a person with direct knowledge of the situation and another source briefed on the matter, Trump told several people working in and outside the White House that he was concerned Joe Biden’s incoming administration — or the 'Deep State' — would supposedly 'shred,' bury, or destroy 'the evidence' that Trump was somehow wronged."

This comes as the FBI has launched a criminal investigation into boxes of documents containing highly classified information that was stowed at the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

Come on, trumpie boy, what did you do with the nuke secrets of that foreign power...did you share them, sell them, also copy them to maybe sell again?

We know who you are by now. Bullshit statements about protecting "Russiagate" material is as phony as it sounds.

They need to be released to the public post haste, sans any classified data.

Every time Trump opens his mouth, the proper response is to show our work. It gets him every time.

a sudden we're supposed to all of sudden believe him?

He was selling these documents to the highest bidder. Why else? Why are there documents missing/empty folder jackets?

Traitor needs to be charged and charged right now. He was caught red handed w/ the evidence.

Everything in his sick world revolves around:

H Hillary, and
B Barack

And at times, HB and his laptop.

His “Rosebud”.

that he either traded or was planning to trade with Middle East parties related to nuclear technology and what the US knew about nuclear capabilities. This plan was conceived from the time before Trump even took office, and was being investigated by the House Oversight Committee.
