The fact is, we trust the President will ALL our secret information, and we trust him to be prudent about to whom he chooses to disclose it, both while in office, and after he leaves office.
And it is WE THE PEOPLE who decide who is worthy of that trust. Not the government. They don’t get a vote in the matter.
I forgot. Only CIA, Pentagon and FIB allowed to leak classified info to the press. Except that the President has ultimate classification authority and when releasing information it is declassified.
Not a serious prosecution.
Trumped up charges for political purposes.
Trial by gossip, innuendo, misinformation…
Kafkaesque.
NOTHING EXONERATING ABOUT THAT RECORDING. You are more of a fool than you appear if you and Trump think the recording is exonerating.
Trump is not allowed to publicly discuss anything about the case, but the prosecutor can leak like a striped-assed ape.
Amazing...FBI illegally leaks again to poison the jury pool.
but whoever LEAKED this is subject to prosecution...
if someone secretly recorded classified info?? that’s treason.
I know- I work in such a location. I would not DARE brink a recording device inside.
This is not the first time that Mr. Off has fabricated the law or the evidence. It seems to be habitual.
Trump said the document was not declassified.
Trump showed it to people without clearance.
Supposedly, the document is missing.
Trump has some explaining to do. I am willing to listen, but this is not good.
If Obama walked away with war plans and was caught sharing them with “friends”, the discussion here would be quite different.
I can’t understand why you people lie and distort the truth.
Don’t you know Trump was running his mouth about a document that does not exist?
Don’t you know that’s why Smith leaked that tape?
You’re trying to defend Trump on stupid comments he made. Be glad they were not true.
Is this the same info that, if Trump released, would have been a violation of the gag order by the judge? Guess it would hurt the script of the RATS for Trump to get out in front if it, etc?
Let’s take a hypothetical: imagine Obama spoke the exact same words as Trump did in this audio. Would people say that Obama was exonerated by this recording? No this tape isn’t good for Trump. However the leaking of this audio tape isn’t good for the prosecution because judges can view this as jury tampering. Jack Smith wanted the list of witnesses to be kept secret for now but possibly someone from the prosecution leaked this audio tape. Judges should view this as prosecutorial misconduct.
There is NO DAMNED PROOF that paper he had WAS an “official” secret document.
Trump is stating that Milley lied and said he wanted to start a war with Iran. And Milley conveniently comes up with “Top Secret” plan.
ND when Trump says “this just came up” he isn’t necessarily referring to That Minute!
To me it’s clear he’s stating Milley “just” came up with it when trying to lie about Trump wanting war.
