    My money is on Israel since the wording in the WaPo story implies existing capability and Israel, while long assumed to have nukes, has never publicly acknowledged it. The state of their program and weapons would be of great interest and I'm sure another Middle Eastern country would pay at least $2 billion to get that info.

    In other news, it turns out there are secret tunnels under Mar-a-Lago that allow beach access and maybe other places.

    When Rudy recovered after his lost presidential bid at MAL, he used them. Some kid found an entrance from the beach and popped up in the club while Trump was both President and on site. After wandering around for 20 minutes he was arrested by Secret Service.

    Chinese agents, a pretend Rothschild heiress who is a likely Russian agent, and now tunnels? Jesus. Any country with basic espionage statecraft has copies of those documents.

    The damage from this will likely be with us for years.

    Trump didn’t create his base or the political divisions of this country but he knew how to exploit them. People like Graham and Cruz aren’t as skilled as Trump and so are glomming onto him for their own benefit. It’s why there are so many other grifters like Oz and JD Vance who now follow Trump.

    There are many true believer and as I’ve said before there are some legitimate reasons why many believe in MAGA but they are following a court of con men.

    Unfortunately yes. He rightfully should have been indicted already for several other things. That he still hasn’t been even charged that far from his against him there is a lot of deference towards him among prosecutors.

    He's like a mobster on TV - he's got judges (that he appointed) in his backpocket to make dubias (at best) legal rulings that represent an unprecedented level of elitism and privilege.

    Anyone who doesn't like the whole of Europe, Great Britain, parts of the Middle East who don't like the other parts, Israel, South Asia, South Korea, Japan, Australia?

    It's a pretty small group of countries who have no enemies (that's what, about 1/3 of the world I just named, not including North America), so I guess it's no big deal, right?

    U know how i know a good portion of the republicans on here are also big a$$ hypocrites.

    Alway Btch about how unconstitutional it is for students to get debt relief.

    I don't recall former president being allowed to hoard/ b possession of classified documents as a private citizen in the constitution either. Instead of the same indignation, we get folks avoiding this thread or those that come in sprouting conspiracy theory.

    Republicans only bring up the constitution when it suits them, h4nce da party of hypocrites

    If you actually believe all of this you have issues.

    It is comforting to know, as always, that everything you post here is completely false horses#t.

    Is anyone here under the impression that the FBI does not know how to use a photocopier or scanner?

    Dollars to donuts, the FBI has scanned all confiscated, non-classified papers. Special Master or not, the FBI should know everything there is know about what is in those boxes.

    DOJ has already said this. The whole Special Master gambit is just another stalling tactic

    Interesting that there's a high proportion of top secret documents in his office rather than in storage.

    A Republican headed FBI couldn't find any wrongdoing, nor could the Republicans in the Senate.

    Let's see if Trump can do the same.

    Nice observation. Looks like all of the doc with SCI, NF, OC/NF, HCS-P/SI/TK markings are found in his office. None in storage.

    Trump DoJ continues to investigate her. Also found nothing. It wasn't for a lack of attempt (or intense attempt).

    (you can so far also extend that to Hunter Biden, who has been under investigation apparently since the Trump admin)

    To newspapers like NYPost (to a lesser extent - they are alright usually) and partisan hacks like Jonathan Turley and MAGA, there must be major bias in favor of Democrats and against Republicans, especially Trump, victimized to the mt Everest level.

    Today's Trump talking point...

    see... they needlessly ransacked Melania's wardrobe and her 16 year old kid's room. FBI should be disbanded"
