🚨🚨BREAKING per NYT: Some senior Republicans have been quietly warned by *Trump allies* not to continue to be so aggressive in criticizing the DOJ and F.B.I. because it is possible that more damaging information about Mr. Trump related to the Mar-A-Lago search will become public

“Authorities also believed the documents remaining at Mar-a-Lago had national security implications.”
My suspicion, that Trump was trying to sell access to classified Top Secret info for big bucks, is getting stronger.
Of course, sure - it’s likely we might never know exactly what docs Trump had down there at Mar-a-Lago, especially if it was material related to national security.

I held TS/SCI clearances in my civilian job for decades. At every rebrief, we were appraised of the penalties for mishandling of classified material, which included removing the material from the areas approved for it to be handled. Although not specifically warned about selling the material on the open markets, posters were plastered all over the place, showing the faces, crimes, and jail terms of those who broke their oaths and handed classified material over to the baddies. If TFG took such material with him when we kicked his ass out, there could be some substantive repercussions. If he is found to have actually passed it to unauthorized recipients, he’s due for a long jail sentence.

re: #22 Dangerman
You’re one of the “little people”
Very true. Since Jared and TFG’s devil spawn were granted clearances without having to undergo the same investigation and lie detector tests the rest of us did.
John Solomon:
“…In the early years of Trump’s presidency, Solomon produced a series of columns for The Hill alleging dubious business dealing by Hunter Biden in Ukraine and corruption by his father, which were never proven.
The columns were widely cited in conservative media, with his background at mainstream outlets like The Associated Press apparently lending them credibility. Solomon was a frequent guest on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show.
They formed part of the web of conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated claims that led to Trump’s first impeachment in 2019, after he threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine’s newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, unless Zelenskyy helped in the bid to smear the Bidens.”

I didn’t want to get too hyped up on the possibilities, but there is a non-zero probability that Trump did, in fact, sell access to top secret documents to known Russian toadies, and recently.
