That Mushroom Cloud You See Is Another Trump Media Narrative Exploding Before Your Eyes
PJ Media ^ | 08/28/2022 | Victoria Taft

Posted on 08/28/2022 8:15:26 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Four days after the raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, The Washington Post ran interference for the Biden Administration’s politicized FBI and DOJ by disseminating a whopper in an obvious attempt to tamp down the outrage.

Not that they probably care, but the four reporters bylined on the story were punked. And Americans were deceived.

On August 12, the Post breathlessly reported that, even though it had never been done before, the tossing of Melania’s under-lovelies at Mar-a-Lago by 30 FBI agents must have been totally legit because according to “people familiar with the investigation,” “experts in classified information,” and “former senior intelligence officials,” Trump had nuclear documents.

Reporters Devlin Barrett, Josh Dawsey, Perry Stein, and Shane Harris reported explicitly that “classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought.”

Other media outlets picked up the story and quicker than you can say “51 experts claim Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation,” the “Trump-has-nuke-secrets” story became received wisdom. Trump was in possession of nuclear secrets! He had nuclear codes! reported Vanity Fair.

Trump must have been planning a launch from Mar-a-Lago, Mike Davis of the Article III Project ruefully joked on my The Adult in the Room Podcast. After going through a list of whoppers leaked to the media by Attorney General Merrick Garland, Davis noted that Garland “leaked out that he’d deliberated for weeks — for weeks — before he authorized this [search]. Okay, so, if Trump had these nuclear records — which is complete[ly] bogus because there’s no Q classification on the inventory of records they got back” — it wouldn’t make sense that he waited to act.

Q classifications denote classified nuclear materials from the Department of Energy. There were none listed on the inventory released to the media the day The Washington Post reported its story. And there were none in the Trump search documents nor in the affidavit released weeks later.

According to the Federation of American Scientist’s Project on Government Secrecy, the Q designation refers to the clearance level required to handle such sensitive materials about nuclear programs.

Q Sensitive allows access to Special Nuclear Material (SNM) category 1. An employee with a Q sensitive clearance could have access to nuclear weapons design, manufacture, or use data; disclosure could cause exceptionally grave damage to the nation.

Q Nonsensitive allow access to Special Nuclear Material (SNM) category 2. The higher the SNM category, the more readily the material could be converted to a nuclear explosive device. Categories 1 and 2 require special protection, such as armed guards.

As for the feared nuclear codes? They change frequently, and Trump would have had to mug Joe Biden to get them. But, hey, don’t let facts get in the way of a great story about crazy Trump with his finger on the button.

They didn’t find what they were looking for. Hauling out 17 boxes would take maybe an hour. But they spent another day in there. One hopes that what they DIDN’T find will provide Trump with the means to devasticate the DOJ when the time is right.

And, has it not already been proven that the President doesn’t have the ‘codes’, never has the ‘codes’, and never will have the ‘codes’.

The Air Force, Navy and the people that work at NORAD or some alternate site have the ‘codes’.

The President and the others in the Chain of Command that can order a nuclear strike/launch, have authenticators that prove who they are and that they are, in fact, authorized to order said, strike/launch.

Given the fact that there are layers of safeties built in to prevent something really bad from happening.

Legit point.

And they knew where to look for those boxes, as well.

They also brought a person to get into the safe. Some could say that whoever the snitch is, told them that something juicy was in there. And, whaddya know..nothing.

As this plays out, more and more, I’m really starting to believe that the man legit, is playing some type of 4D chess with these morons.

Did they take Attorney-Client info? We’ll soon find out as that stuff starts leaking as they start grasping for straws. Then what do they do when he confronts them with it?

Obviously, nothing happens to any of them. But, one by one, they have to back away and throw someone else to the slaughter.

The first nuclear bomb went off 77 years ago. And now there are dozens of countries who have them, including (surprise) Russia.

What would Trump have that would be news to the world’s nucular community? This is like saying he has papers on how to make a battery.

I believe that they didn’t find what they were looking for because it wasn’t there.

But it doesn’t matter. After nary a handslap for the FISA fiasco et al, they’re untouchable.

I can only hope that there’s a punchline and Trump delivers it personally.

There are reports they didn’t even go before the Epstein Magistrate.

They used a FB owned App and appeared on the screen for a couple Mins to get their approval.

What they were looking for was anything Trump had/has on the Russiagate scam.

Trump has been cleared of all things Russiagate so anything he has/had on it is EVIDENCE of attempts to overthrow a sitting President and the Government of the United States. The EVIDENCE exposes everyone including all the agencies involved in the attempt of treason.

They have to find it, and destroy it. If they haven't already

Russia - 6,255 nuclear warheads
United States of America - 5,550 nuclear warheads
China - 350 nuclear warheads
France - 290 nuclear warheads
United Kingdom - 225 nuclear warheads
Pakistan - 165 nuclear warheads
India - 156 nuclear warheads

Ever think that Trump played the DOJ and especially the STASI like a cheap mule in the hot Georgia August sun. Trump made them look like clowns. Pass the popcorn.
