One bright side to TSF getting daily WH briefings as a candidate.

The WH can monitor exactly what information is being provided to him. That way if any international shenanigans begin to happen, they'll know Trump passed along the information to unfriendly actors.

And by connecting the dots, Trump could be charged with treason. More federal criminal court.

We also know since he became president we started losing foreign sources. Foreign sources are people who disappeared.

Knowing that TSF was most likely responsible but not being able to prove it does no good.

‘Off-kilter’ information, (know what I mean😉😉 . Something that would make him go off in the wrong direction looking even more foolish.

We may never know the extent of damage he’s done to our national security - and the rest of the world, for that matter. I furthermore believe that he’s passed along false information that is used to track its dissemination, so there’s no mistaking his involvement. Like I say, we may never know, but perhaps our descendants might find out. I hope.

And to make sure, they should print them in 8 point agate type and single space. And of course, don't put anything actually sensitive in them.

It’s not obligatory, just policy. In my view, he should purposely fed false info. Then they can track where it goes. He is a felon, with additional evidence of espionage. Fuck policy. Frankly, he should have been detained immediately upon discovering the evidence.

A special counsel? Cannon threw out the records case based on a weird premise that the Special Consul wasn't properly funded. Who says another judge won't find the same thing or that the Repubs will put up road blocks and try to interrupt any investigation into something like this. Hell, TSF took documents unlawfully in 2020 and its now 2024 and no repercussions have occurred.

You're trying to deal with a person and movement who doesn't respect the rule of law (unless it penalizes their perceived "enemies&quot . I'm pretty sure TFG will never suffer any real consequences for his actions while he's living on this planet. Powerful people always use their power to do as they want, bugger the rest of us.
