Associated Press Compares Trump’s Courier Proposal To Bin Laden’s

A Monday story from the Associated Press inexplicably likened President-elect Donald Trump’s idea to use couriers for sensitive information to the courier system Bin Laden used to keep himself hidden while maintaining command of his militants.

Trump floated the idea of a courier system Saturday in response to Russia’s purported cyber attempts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election. Trump told reporters “it’s very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way, because I’ll tell you what, no computer is safe.”

Maybe the media is on to something.

I’ve heard reports that Trump breaths air and .... (wait for it) SO DOES THE ISIS LEADERSHIP!

Plus, Trump drinks water and so did Bin Laden!

Do you see the pattern yet?

It’s difficult to keep straight face when reading the news these days.

The comics have more credibility.

We know they are make believe.

Yes, but they are Organic & Biodegradable, plus they were left by Free Range Bears LSMs. They are Concerned about the Environment!

(did I get enough buzzwords in?)

Did I mention that they were a Renewable Resource?

Couriers have been used since way before the time of that great demoncrat Alcibiades.

The Russians brought the typewriter back in 2013. And they use couriers.

Some of the Russian couriers are fighter pilots. If they type a message that needs to be delivered fast they actually have a fighter jet on standby to deliver the message.

The courier system is putting a kink into the MSM and OBAMBA’S plans. TRUMP is effectively closing the leaks in the system. No doubt his political foes thought moles within the system could pass his files on to them. Now the people who receive correspondence are the ones for it is intended.

Trump really probably prefers the Paulie Cicero system.

With all the email hacking going on, I would say that a courier service is wise!

Now you got something there. I would have every one of those computers checked and rechecked and then come out and tell the USA that they found multiple bugs on the whole system. Even if it wernt true.

Then sit back and watch the howling.

We do too. At the highest level in the intel community they never went digital. Pen and paper only.

The FBI and some other agencies, both government and civilian, around the world still use fax machines.

In her testimony Hillary was claiming that she didn’t receive classified “cables” (emails) on her server, that couriers delivered messages (although there should be a signed record of persons visiting and delivering such messages).

Democrats might have successfully stolen the 2004 election if they'd been able to locate a typewriter.
