I was just reminiscing about the crimes that were covered up for Trump.
Trump's server 1mail.trump-email.com had been communicating with 2 servers at Russia's Alfa Bank between May and July 2016. Trump's server was almost exclusively communicating with Alfa Bank. The server was set up to receive emails not send them.
John Durham and Bill Barr white washed this investigation.
I was just thinking now that Trump has immunity he can have a hot line right to Putin's office.
Trump is a traitor who sold the United States out to several countries and we can't even see a fucking report that describes why Trump stole the classified documents. It makes me sick. Do the right thing Garland, release the reports.

and given him the freedom to commit even more crimes.
It is totally sickening. And the cover up and enabling continues to this day and will continue
for a very long time.

(25,564 posts)that he has proof why Trump stole classified documents and I have only heard that mentioned 1 time on Nicolle Wallace's show.
One news anchor talked about Jack Smith having proof about why Trump stole classified documents. That should be front page headlines on every news outlet.
Jack Smith knows why Trump stole the documents. I feel the need to repeat this over and over again.
I used to believe that Garland was just afraid of Trump but I now believe he is complicit. I believe we will never see Jack Smith's classified documents report, maybe won't even see the insurrection report.
Time is running out, I have been saying that for 4 years now.

(60,612 posts)I posted this some time ago as soon as I read that he stole classified documents.
If you look at Trump's psych profile it is clear his motives.
He is a narcissist and sociopath.
He will steal documents which will make him money.
Will give him power.
Will make him look good, bragging rights.
Dirt on his friends and enemies to humiliate them or black mail them.
Roy Cohen taught him how to bug the rooms of his enemies.
I am assuming Trump had the CIA dig up dirt on US and world leaders.
He has these reports.
Classified military info he can sell.
Jared did not get $2B for his good looks and personalty.
MadameButterfly
(2,096 posts)straight out. He might have to do Putin's bidding whether he likes it or not.
Hard to know if he does it enthusiastically or begrudgingly. I'm guessing the former, or has convinced himself he likes it because he can't face being owned.
Irish_Dem
(60,612 posts)But all of it, no.
Trump has his own psychopathic agenda in addition to services he had to render to Putin.
And he figured if Putin could do it, so could he.
Trump was enthusiastic about it in some cases.
Remember he was at a dinner at MAL and he says he accidentally found some paperwork
which made a high ranking military officer Trump hated look bad?
Trump loved that little entertainment and ego booster.
MadameButterfly
(2,096 posts)has focussed on. I suspect he will have gotten to the heart of the matter.
I expect Trump will go down in history as America's worst spy exponentially--if these documents are made public.
Irish_Dem
(60,612 posts)I don't know how much he can reveal as much of what Trump stole was classified.
But I assume some of it can be released.
I am fairly certain we will never know the full extent of Trump's crimes.
The damage he did and will do is incalculable.
wnylib
(25,005 posts)It would be prudent for him to return there before January 20. Or go to another safer location for him than the US. Surely he knows that he will be a target for arrest or for physical attack by a faithful MAGA follower or via a covert government order.
I wonder if, as an exile, he would reveal some information publicly.
Irish_Dem
(60,612 posts)He is in grave danger now in the US.
No, I do not think he will ever reveal any information.
Probably not ethical and will increase his risk level greatly.
If he is smart he will go back to Europe asap and keep his mouth shut.

(2,619 posts)How would this person know that "he has proof why Trump stole classified documents"? Smith's office didn't engage in leaking of information so how would anyone know what they did and didn't have proof of?
MadameButterfly
(2,096 posts)I'm taking him at his word. He just compiled evidence for a court case to prove it to the public.
The evidence exists, but it being suppressed.
Smith is trying his hardest to get it out. (Short of doing a Daniel Ellsberg, but I expect he wants to stay out of jail, and further, to live. )

(7,606 posts)1. If there was an audit trail out of the archives and a document never came back.
Or
2.If a COPY of A TS document came back, but not the original, because at one point they were saying some of the documents had colored borders on them, which is the way a copy of a TS document would appear due to embedded security in the paper of an original.
or 3. And similar to 2, what if a copy was recovered from MaraLago, or an original sequence number was totally missing, but later was purchased on the underground or dark web by our Counter Intel, CIA, or one of our allies Intel services ?? Hmmm.
I'm sure chump and his crowd have no idea how these documents can be audited.

(377 posts)Especially after the SCOTUS decided that a President can never be prosecuted for anything like this, every report on Trump's activities should have been made public. Surely there were many such investigations by the FBI, CIA and others.
The fascists always argue, "The courts should stay out of this because the people will have a chance to be heard in the next election." But that only works if the public KNOWS what is happening. If the DoJ won't or can't do its job, then release everything to the people so we at least have an opportunity to do our job properly.

Most of Trump's crimes are being carefully hidden.
You are exactly correct. It is election rigging and election interference.
No one wants the voters to know the truth of how bad Trump is and how all US institutions failed us.
Bluetus
(377 posts)it invites the public to say, "They are all the same. They both do it, and one hand washes the other."
I want to believe that is not the case, but if Dems are truly different, we need to be getting that message out there through ACTIONS.
I still vividly remember one day during Trump's term, Pelosi came out of a secret briefing livid about something Trump was doing. But we never found out what that was. It might have been this: https://rollcall.com/2017/01/06/pelosi-russian-hacking-report-is-stunning-in-its-conclusions/
If so, why was that not declassified by Biden so the public could have had an informed basis for voting?
Irish_Dem
(60,612 posts)There might be some merit to this. Once we make public everything we know about the Russian rigging of the elections,
it allows Putin to know who is doing the leaking. So our sources dry up, killed.
This might be one reason.
The other reasons why our side stays radio silent about Trump crimes is a total mystery to me.
Bluetus
(377 posts)Trump is not inhibited by anything. Instead of dreaming up all the reasons why we can't do something, Dems need to be thinking about how they can expose the treachery of these fascists with the least harm to our national security.
Of course, it becomes a moot point in 9 days, and I think it is safe to say that Biden will do nothing in this area between now and then.
Had we won the election, the legacy of this administration would have been saving the country from fascism and recovering from the pandemic and crash of the economy. But losing the election likely changes Biden's legacy into being Nero fiddling while Rome burned. There were so many things that Biden. Garland, and others could have done (*), but decided on the path of timidity instead.
* especially after SCOTUS declared that the President can never be prosecuted for any action taken while attending to an "official duty". And I remind gentle readers that decision was announced July 1, giving Biden over 6 months to act without any fear of prosecution.

(377 posts)I think it was a replay of one of the Zelina programs. She was speaking with a House Rep from Ohio, I believe. And this lady (the rep) was falling all over herself talking about how we needed to keep reaching across the aisle "for the good of the constituents".
OK, maybe some of that is necessary and smart. But that should absolutely not be our message. Americans hate people who don't show any backbone of their own. When you are a Dem with a microphone, every damn word should be about the things WE ARE FIGHTING FOR. There is nothing gained by talking about how eager we are to roll over and play dead.
Honestly, I don't think most of these people have ever even thought about what they actually believe in and will fight for. THAT is why we are losing. People know what Trump believes in, for better or worse. Trump proved once again, a terrible idea beats no idea at all every time.

(11,862 posts)was published in 1998. "Republican House leaders argued for the report's immediate release via the internet, while Democrats appealed for delay in order to allow the White House time to prepare a response. After two days of debate, on September 11, the House voted 36363 to release the report to the public."
It's staggering how many of Trump's crimes have been covered up at the highest levels, and largely ignored by corporate media even after being revealed. I cannot think of a single public figure who has gotten away with as many crimes as Trump has. There is no historical precedent for this level of impunity. I just can't make sense of it.

(37,495 posts)The Mar-a-Lago documents case findings, the unredacted Muller report, and even the J6 report if Garland waffles on releasing it.
Yes, he's not supposed to do things like that, and up until a certain conveniently-decided SC ruling, would not be possible, but now? Hey, presidential immunity, baybee!
MadameButterfly
(2,096 posts)A big risk to him but the country depends on it. Someone has to leak these documents and he is the only one who could argue he is above the law.

(72,785 posts)The FBI was well aware of this but instead put out misinformation about HRC and
her emails as the top agent working to look into any connections between Trump
But the FBI agent in NYC in charge of looking into Trump and Russia
was being paid off by Vlad Putin via Oleg Dirapaska. His name is
McGonigal and very quickly he pled guilty and went to Federal Prison real quick and
his name is never spoken about ever. McGonigal also got the NY Times to write misleading
shit about Trump, Russia, and HRC too.
Comey knowingly rat fucked the Clinton campaign when he was fully aware of Alfa Bank
and Trump.

(396 posts)The story about McGonigle came out at the same time as another blockbuster news story, so the McGonigle info got pushed to the shadows.
Trying to remember - was it the same time as the FBI search warrant at MAL? There have been so many consequential news stories the past few years. So much to remember.

As of April 2023, Donald Trump has been credibly accused of committing at least 56 criminal offenses since he launched his campaign for president in 2015. That total only reflects allegations relating to his time in or running for office and omits, for instance, Trumps criminal exposure for fraudulent business dealings.

(1,867 posts)... there is plentiful of better and more reliable ways to attack Trump.
The "trump-email.com" was not controlled by Trump:
"... the domain was setup and controlled by Cendyn, a company that does marketing/promotions for hotels, including many of Trump's hotels. Cendyn outsources the email portions of its campaigns to a company called Listrak, which actually owns/operates the physical server in a data center in Philidelphia. ..."
To claim this is a secret way for communication is just ridiculous, since there are so many easier ones. Both entities are clearly shouting their names - why write "trump-email.com" on all your so-called confidential communication?
Please find another rumor to revive than this!
