Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines along with other officials will give an "assessment" to top lawmakers about "the potential risk" to national security posed by former President Trump allegedly keeping top secret documents at his Florida residence, Fox News has learned.
Haines sent a letter to Oversight Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. as well as Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and informed them both about the decision.
In a joint statement, Reps. Maloney and Schiff said that they are "pleased" by the decision.
"We are pleased that in response to our inquiry, Director Haines has confirmed that the Intelligence Community and Department of Justice are assessing the damage caused by the improper storage of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. The DOJ affidavit, partially unsealed yesterday, affirms our grave concern that among the documents stored at Mar-a-Lago were those that could endanger human sources. It is critical that the IC move swiftly to assess and, if necessary, to mitigate the damage done—a process that should proceed in parallel with DOJ’s criminal investigation," they wrote.

The DNI is going to give an assessment because she was requested to do so by Schiff et al.
Short version of their assessment: #orangemanbad
Uh-huh. That’s right after they complete their purchase of the Brooklyn Bridge from a corner vendor. Sorry, D.C. slime, we don’t believe your stinkin’ lies any more. Shove it.
Expanded version: Real bad! Existential threat to “our democracy” bad.
(I want no part of their democracy)
Did they do the same when the Hilibitch Clintdog had top secret files in electronic format, on an ILLEGAL unsecured, private server?
The Russians and Chinese don’t need to do anything - Washington DC, its praetorian guard, and its vicious internal politics will ensure the US destroys itself.
She’s a leftover from the Obama brothel. She’ll find and deliver whatever shifty Schiff wants. “The Democracy is hanging by a thread!!”
“the potential risk”
There is a potential risk of almost anything. Their is a potential risk of someone screwing up and detonating a device in the silo, or a plane crashing into the Vatican, or Yellowstone to erupt, or....almost anything. I think Nichelle Nichols said it best: “Fantasy is fact that hasn’t happened yet.”
How about if there is possibility that this committee is acting like all the other attacks on Trump in that they have nothing so they invent something?
I found two basic definitions of the word potential:
“having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.”
“latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness.”
There is nothing in those definitions that say anything is going to happen. It’s called conjecture. And the burden of prove is not full filled with that.
Another possibility is that these people omnipotent. Definition:
“having unlimited power; able to do anything”
We don’t need a government if we have someone that can figure out everything before it happens. They’d have burned them in Salem.

It’ll be described as the worst intelligence failure since Bill Clinton gave China our missile tech.
Err...wait a minute. Strike that.
How about Hillary Clinton’s bathroom email server that was hacked by numerous foreign players.
Oops. Oh....never mind.
Pls see 12.
“The Democracy is hanging by a thread!!”
The Democrats are hanging by a thread.
Better hurry as Rep Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y, lost her 'D'onkey Party primary to high-belt Nadler just last week. So sad to see two TDS sufferers fighting each other! If only NY State wasn't shrinking so badly!
1> Trump declassified the info.
2> ALL Presidents get classified briefings for the rest of their lives, including “security documents” and this includes Jinnah Carter.
3> This is, once again, a witch hunt of trumped up charges to unconstitutionally attack a political candidate. Period.
The current federal government is in violation of the constitution IN TOTO and must be held accountable for this egregious abuse of power.
Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. lost the primary... Maloney is a lame duck.
Go NADler!
And Anthony Weiner had emails from various officials on his laptop, IIRC.
340,000 emails on Weiner’s laptop...
Senile Nadler won for same reason senile Joe won. Voters think of them as causing less waves.
