Material on foreign nation’s nuclear capabilities seized at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago (barf)
wapo ^ | 9/6/2022 | Devlin Barrett and Carol D. Leonnig

Some seized documents were so closely held, only the president, a Cabinet-level or near-Cabinet level official could authorize others to know

A document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities, was found by FBI agents who searched former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and private club last month, according to people familiar with the matter, underscoring concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about classified material stashed in the Florida property.

Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-Cabinet-level official could authorize other government officials to know details of these special-access programs, according to people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation.

Documents about such highly classified operations require special clearances on a need-to-know basis, not just top-secret clearance. Some special-access programs can have as few as a couple dozen government personnel authorized to know of an operation’s existence. Records that deal with such programs are kept under lock and key, almost always in a secure compartmented information facility, with a designated control officer to keep careful tabs on their location.

Just a little logic.

First, who cares about this report being in a locked room? Who cares about it anyway. Not our capabilities, another country’s.

Next, THEY are the ones leaking this document to the Washington Post.

Am I missing something?

I would not be surprised if it were planted by someone to frame Trump.

It goes well beyond that. Deep fakes have gotten so good that Trump may well be under arrest at a dark site right now. Whether we "win" or "lose" in '24, we'll be ruled by a hologram. So yeah I'd agree evidence was planted, and then some.

Chris Cuomo in 2017: Also interesting is, remember, it’s illegal to possess these stolen documents. It’s different for the media. So everything you learn about this, you’re learning from us.

The media, like the French aristocracy in the 18th century, keeps reminding us they are better than us.

I doubt that either Devlin Barrett or Carol D. Leonnig of the WaPo have the security clearances to know anything whatsoever about the nonsense that they are writing about.

The cover sheet on a classified document is never itself classified.

Why isn’t Newsweek secrets leaker, leftist William Arkin before a firing squad right now? Been revealing U. S. nuclear weapons storage facilities since the 80s. Believe he was also associated with the Marxist-orient, Soviet-propaganda organization known as the Institute for Policy Studies, which was funded in the past by the Comunist Party member Samuel Rubin, his foundation, and his daughter Cora Weiss, the other “Ms. Hanoi”.

Which video/security system are you talking about?

Logic says that Mar-A-Lago had more than one security system, a practice that many secure facilities have. They are called “backups”. Duh!!!

If it was so important, why did they wait 18 months? Sounds like it wasn’t so critical. Also, Trump had access to this information as Potus. It’s not like he never had security clearance. They are just using ‘buzz words’ most likely to cause a reaction. It’s still a big yawn to me.

Wow, the deep state told 44 to reign it in.

Wounding Brandon’s ego may send him to make another Red Speech.

Notice the weasel words... “a document”, Not a Secret Document.

Was probably a Wiki printout!

That’s quite a long way from Trump has the top secret plans to building a nuke and he is doing it now in the Maro Lago basement.
