I like how he went from "lalala it's probably tame, but def. weird that Trump isn't showing us what it's for :V" to "Well now adding to the unprecedented nature; the DOJ is saying what it's for." to "WTAF WHY WOULD YOU KEEP NUCLEAR DOCUMENTS ARE YOU STUPID?"
THe problem: In order to distract from real problems including but not limited to: pollution, economics, pandemic response & preparedness \\ Republicans and all grifters of the like are siezing onto the chance to abuse lowest hierarchy tier members and seek division in an effort to engage in racism/etc.
The solution; Completely undermine this capacity by solving the inherent issues that make people latch onto such things.
-- Compounded problem: how do you do that when they are so convinced that the culture war issues are more real and present danger than pollution & etc. / compounded solution: anti-propaganda measures, giving them occupations (literally)
1) Trump nuclear docs 2) SIGNALS intelligence (Senior Intelligence Gathering etc.) was included and improperly destroyed in attempts to cover up the crimes lol - MSNBC clip with an intelligence officer. Now technically the POTUS can declassify Signals buuuut that's still not applicable here
3) Since Trump printed up paper trails rather than use emails directly; it actually made it a bigger problem than it would have been otherwise etc. Also it's basically treason to have those blackmail folders lmfao. BUT TRIPLE ALSO
4) After the FBI attack in Ohio by a Trumpist as revenge for the file recovery; Truth Social deleted the terrorists' account which is... dumb. Because the FBI still gets to have all the data on that too derp
Trump watched the FBI on his cameras, refused requests to disable them during the retrieval so he would have actually been able to say "DERP THEY PLANTED STUFF IT IS HERE ON CAMERA" :VVVV
Part of the large suspicion is that Jared is the informant; according to Mary Trump as well; and that goes back to Saudi Arabia as well for obvious reasons
George Conway seems to think it's just that Trump is actually dumber than Amber Heard (which I doubt) and that he just was too lazy to let basic paperwork stay at the office because he also viewed the country and everything there and the white house and etc. as "his" because NPD but also when it was time to clean up after losing he didn't bother because
He was trying to blackmail the US gov, IS blackmailing as much of the GOP as possible, and has a very much "Give me what I want or I will destroy the planet."
Mind you though; I totally thought ON Jan 6 he fled to Russia. SO I have been very wrong before. \:|/ USUALLY when I keep going "he can't be THAT incompetent, surely there is a glimmer of non-goblin brain damage"
and don't forget that he might have canceled the meeting where they separate his personal files from classified federal documents to get a cup of covfefe
that said, I could see there being some kind of Jared or Ivanka scheme that Trump was on board with, but actual conniving seems kinda off-brand for him when he could just throw a tantrum and insist that he should get what he wants by any means until someone jumps to try and get it for him
I don't think there should be a difference in mitigating damages and sending future messages. Like It sets an absolutely fucking insane precedent to be like
"Oh it's okay to steal documents for use of selling nuclear weapons to Saudi Arabia and blackmailing the entire gov. and WORLD with annihilation; because you didn't mean to."
I think in general "proving intent" shouldn't really need to be done. Like if so; then the "punishments" need adjusting etc. -- I mean yes I do want a difference in manslaughter vs. murder but
If your incompetence is so severe you "accidentally steal" a shitload of nuclear documents because you literally break every fucking countermeasure against such a catastrophe and expect everyone around you to enable your criminality
