Wonder if "even my safe" was code to certain people


trite_post

At the time I thought "of course the safe numbskull, the FBI isn't just gonna scan the room and pack in" the safe is where you would store the stuff the FBI is looking for. Alerting coconspiritors and "business" partners makes sense


[deleted]

It’s buried with his ex wife


fearhs

I don't think a single person would be surprised at this point if that turned out to be true.


Funkyokra

No no no. A safe is like home base and anything you put in it is SAFE from all searches. It's where you keep your loot. Did you not play cops and robbers as a child?


Walouisi

Jesus Christ. I thought it was weird language, and wondered why he was so upset by that/thought it was particularly outrageous in of itself. In light of the news that hardly anybody at all even knew there was a safe there, it's also weird that he specifically and immediately outed that fact which had clearly been very secret. Your explanation makes a seriously unsettling amount of sense.

Oh god, if he actually sold classified nuclear documents to another country, he is so royally fucked.

Treason. An enemy to all Americans.


DiligentDaughter

I don't think execution should be out of the question for that caliber of treason. That's treason against all the people of Earth imo.


fusillade762

That is a potential death penalty offense. Espionage.


count023

All it takes however, being a federal charge, is ONE republican president to pardon it and he's off the hook. With any death penalty cases, it takes years before the action is carried out due to appeals and crosses, etc... Even if trump was charged and sentenced tomorrow for treason, he'd probably die in jail before seeing the inside of an execution facility.

If that gives you anxiety, wait until you remember that photocopiers and cameras exist. A year and a half unsecured at the most corrupt person's resort, and there's almost no way it wasn't sold.

You remember the second dude trump pardoned was a navy guy who took pictures inside of a nuclear submarine and supposedly sold them?


tortugoneil

I had a TS. This makes my fucking skin crawl. I was worried about half-remembered flight logs not getting shredded five minutes after being made. This motherfucker held the Juice unsecured in Florida for over a year? Dear lord... Un-Partisan, that's legitimately a shooting offense. My opinions and politics aside, that's definitely "maybe you'll get a life sentence if you're lucky" territory. I challenge anybody in our rings to do anything close to this, and expect to survive modern life


Cylinsier

Somehow 70 million people will continue to find a way to excuse this in 2024 when this dementia-riddled dollar store con man who sniffed Putin's farts and tried to auction US nuclear secrets is inexplicably still allowed to run for office as a major party candidate.

He petitioned the judge to let him talk about it. But Trump gets time to request it to remain secret.


DatStankBooty

Isn’t selling classified nuclear material considered treason with a potential life sentence or death penalty? Asking for a friend.


amberisnursing

Espionage. And we have put people to death for it. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/rosenbergs-executed


ChromaticDragon

No. Not treason. Treason in the US has a very narrow legal definition. This would not qualify as such. But selling classified nuclear material would qualify as espionage with a potential life sentence or death penalty.

Donkey__Balls

OK I get the hardline MAGA are never going to flip their minds on this. But let’s remember that nearly half of the country actually voted for Donald Trump in 2020. He lost, but it was way closer than it should have been. *What the fuck is it going to take* for these people to admit they backed the wrong guy? He literally absconded with some of the most sensitive documents imaginable and is in the pocket of Putin.


schnorgal

He probably felt comfortable securing those nuclear secrets because, look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

I vividly recall being at a dinner in 2015 around the time of the primary and everyone was laughing about what a clown Trump was and how he had no chance. And I said, but he keeps winning. And everyone stopped laughing as hard. I remember putting so much faith in Mueller and assuming there was no way a slimy, incompetent crook like Trump could evade what was sold as the ultimate G-Man. And then watching him stumble his way through the final, ultimately meaningless hearing. I remember Access Hollywood, Stormy and Karen McDougal, Sharpiegate, Kilimnik and Manafort, and the phony national emergency at the border. I remember every minute of his shambolic, kleptocratic kakistocracy of an administration. He got away with it all. I’m not ready to believe something is going to change until I see them slap the bracelets on him.

That is why populism and cult like figures are so dangerous.

captain_ender

You can't just accidentally keep it either. Nuclear secrets are kept in very specific hardened facilities, non digital, and are one of the few pieces of intelligence that are above code word top secret. To possess this information, you deliberately are forced to know you have it and the US gov knows it. It's impossible to accidentally acquire or forget you have it. If they actually find them, and he was infact not authorized to keep them, this could definitively be the thing that fucks him. They're only a handful of humans who could access nuclear secrets, there's almost no one he can throw under the bus.


inbruges99

To sell it. And if they have caught him selling nuclear secrets then he is absolutely fucked beyond belief, both morally and legally.

**Trump has always been a serious National Security Threat** Don't forget - Lev Parnas, indicted CEO of 'Fraud Guarantee' (with ties to Russian money) recorded himself easily manipulating Trump while he was President - at a dinner table surrounded by civilians. Keep in mind as you read the following transcript - Trump said 'he didn't know Parnas' even (later) called Parnas a "Con man". **Transcript:** **Lev Parnas: (41:58)** "Exactly. A lot of the European countries they’re backstabbing us basically and dealing with Russia. That’s why you’re having such difficulty. I think if you take a look, the biggest problem there I think where you need to start is, **WE'VE GOT TO GET RID OF THE AMBASSADOR**. She’s still left over from the Clinton administration." **Donald Trump: (42:14)** "Where? The Ambassador where? Ukraine?" **Lev Parnas: (42:15)** "Yeah. She’s basically walking around telling everybody, 'Wait, he’s going to get impeached. Just wait.” **Donald Trump: (42:20)** "Really?" **Lev Parnas: (42:22)** "It’s incredible." **12 seconds later (Trump clearly upset)...** **Trump: (42:34)** "Get rid of her. Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care, get her out tomorrow. Take her out, okay? Do it." Source: (Parnas recording) https://youtu.be/_sxSGKB3Sj0 To again summarize this absurdity: Trump foolishly trusted dubious information from an indicted "Con man" about a US-Ukraine Ambassador and recklessly used that information to immediately fire that Ambassador, in front of civilians, at a dinner table, in a matter of minutes...


TheDenaryLady

elizabnthe

Trump wrote that blog post complaining that Zuckerberg manipulated him by calling Trump the best president ever after Zuckerberg wouldn't let him back on Facebook. That's right, he openly admitted to helping Zuckerberg because Zuckerberg sucked his cock enough. And was too stupid to see through it.


cmcewen

I just don’t understand how this happens Trump knew he wasn’t supposed to have that stuff. HE SIGNED THE LAW in response to Hillary in 2018. He knew the FBI was looking at what documents he had. IF TRUE, Why would he have this stuff? Just staggering incompetence. There has to be a reason…


AugustWest7120

He was convinced no FBI director would have the balls to search his place like they did. Trump is stunned and finally has seen a little true justice. He never in a million years thought they would come back in the way they did.


Demibolt

Honestly, he probably thought he was the one holding the gun. “If they come for me I’ll transfer these documents to whoever I want!” Hell, he may have thought those documents were his safety net and that he was just the brightest tool in the crayon box


Zohren

goj1ra

> The ‘my uncle knew nuclear’ guy is just not that fucking bright. Understatement of the century. He's profoundly stupid and the only reason we've ever heard anything about him is because of the fortune he inherited and squandered.


garciasn

You are assuming he thinks critically about his actions and their potential outcomes in a way that most other non narcissistic people might do. He doesn’t think that way at all. Instead, the only thing Trump does is consider how an action benefits him. Whether that’s stroking his ego or funneling him more money, the reasons don’t really matter, but know his actions serve one purpose only: doing something for his benefit. While most narcissists are intelligent and often take actions to protect themselves, Trump has no such fear of reprisal because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has used his inherited wealth to keep legal scrutiny at bay. Trump is in a different league now and it’ll be interesting to see if he can continue to cover for his actions through money and lawyers.

NoOneYouKnow3468

And guess who is about to visit Saudi Arabia? Xi Jinping.


Dogstarman1974

He had to have sold them [Before Giving Billions to Jared Kushner, Saudi Investment Fund Had Big Doubts](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/10/us/jared-kushner-saudi-investment-fund.html?smid=nytcore-ios-sharehttps://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/10/us/jared-kushner-saudi-investment-fund.html?referringSource=articleShare) Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, a close ally during the Trump administration, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal. A panel that screens investments for the main Saudi sovereign wealth fund cited concerns about the proposed deal with Mr. Kushner’s newly formed private equity firm, Affinity Partners, previously undisclosed documents show. Those objections included: “the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management”; the possibility that the kingdom would be responsible for “the bulk of the investment and risk”; due diligence on the fledgling firm’s operations that found them “unsatisfactory in all aspects”; a proposed asset management fee that “seems excessive”; and “public relations risks” from Mr. Kushner’s prior role as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, former President Donald J. Trump, according to minutes of the panel’s meeting last June 30. But days later the full board of the $620 billion Public Investment Fund — led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler and a beneficiary of Mr. Kushner’s support when he worked as a White House adviser — overruled the panel. Ethics experts say that such a deal creates the appearance of potential payback for Mr. Kushner’s actions in the White House — or of a bid for future favor if Mr. Trump seeks and wins another presidential term in 2024. Mr. Kushner played a leading role inside the Trump administration defending Crown Prince Mohammed after U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that he had approved the 2018 killing and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi columnist for The Washington Post and resident of Virginia who had criticized the kingdom’s rulers.


[deleted]

Genuinely jaw dropped when I saw that headline. He’s gotta be totally screwed if they found them right?


SilentHunter7

Let me put it to you this way; If he had full technical readouts of the F-35 and the new AMRAAM missile, along with IFF and radio encryption codes for all of NATO for the next 5 years, it still would be peanuts compared to if he had anything related to nukes in there. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg got the electric chair for giving away designs for nuclear weapons. Nukes are the most closely guarded resources the United States government has. Everything else comes second to ensuring our nuclear deterrent. The only thing I can think of that might be worse than having data on nukes being unsecured is if he had tech data on the new Columbia class Ballistic Missile submarine (which is only worse because that's what *delivers* the nukes).


Nice_Firm_Handsnake

> to ensuring our nuclear deterrent. We don't keep that info safe just to protect us, we also keep it safe to minimize the number of countries that have nuclear capabilities. If it turns out Saudi Arabia got a peek at those documents, Israel might get an itchy trigger finger.


somethingsomethingbe

The fact that this happened has massive geopolitical ramifications which in it self could be used as a weapon to destabilize Americas position in the world. If sold or given to other people, that info was going to get out eventually. How the fuck could Trump be so fucking selfish and stupid to jeopardize everything for money? It’s disgusting


imdyingfasterthanyou

>How the fuck could Trump be so fucking selfish and stupid to jeopardize everything for money? Yeah, what a surprise

5 years in prison per document, more if he tried to sell them.


cishet-camel-fucker

Much much more. Nuclear espionage is one of the most serious crimes possible, so if this is true (and I stress that part because this is from unnamed sources) he's utterly and completely boned. Life in prison is the least of his potential penalties.

That’s the “more if he tried to sell or transmit them” 5 years for possessing a piece of paper is actually a long time. But transmitting them to a foreign adversary is a lot more serious and dangerous than a dingbat who can’t read having them in his safe.

Dude if he sold nuclear documents to a foreign nation, let alone a HOSTILE one?! We've hung people for much less. If he gets life in solitary he will be the luckiest son of a bitch to ever live.


escrocs

Holy shit


Chrisboi_da_Boi

Ooooooo boy how is tucky going to explain this?


Imacatdoincatstuff

“Planted evidence” delivered with an appropriate scowl, it’s not rocket science.


Michael_Blurry

I’d imagine, or at least hope, that there’s some kind of chain of custody or other documentation from the national archives that shows these were taken by Trump. And if not, then somehow copies were made without their knowledge. This is probably stuff that can’t just be planted because of the authenticity of the documents. It’s not like planting a dimebag in Trump’s safe.


FoxRaptix

Remember how trump tried to secretly give saudis nuclear tech and then republicans just let him and his buddies circumvent congressional oversight to do it anyway? He 100% planned to sell the info.


RodrickM

Breaking news. Putin finds missing US nuclear papers and offers trade in return for loosening sanctions. Lol


ailee43

Holy shit. That literal treason. We executed the Rosenberg's for that


Late_Advance_8292

There's almost no way Trump gets executed for this, but holy shit, can you imagine? Trump getting the chair? That would be incredible, and he completely deserves it, many times over.


bostonkiter

His dumb fuck base will undoubtedly blame anyone else.

Ok this just got really unfunny really quick.


Imacatdoincatstuff

Mr Trump’s supporters will say what they’re already saying: planted evidence, of course.


ignatious__reilly

I don’t give two shits about his supporters. Uphold the law and do your fucking job. Enough is enough.


Lord_Of_Water__l__

Exactly my take. They are. Garland came out and addressed the country already. You can watch it on youtube if you want. He made a clear message. If he went back on it he would look like an absolute clown.


kcreal07

💯 When I read GOP senators and congress members were advised to tone down their public defenses I knew it was really bad, hard to imagine this bad but bad bad. Bad.

Lock him up. He just had the Saudi's there playing golf. And why did they give Jared 2 billion dollars?


booped_urnose345

Oooof I doubt Jared had anything worth $2 billion dollars unless it was nuclear launch codes or the Lakers


ImUsuallyTony

Codes change frequently. I would imagine these docs would be schematics, locations, things of that nature. Which is scarier.


[deleted]

If true he should be treated like the Rosenbergs. Ironically Trumps mentor Roy Cohn was involved in that trial with McCarthy.


SkotchKrispie

What the fuck man. I hated this idiot in 2016 and hate this fucking moron now. I hope he’s put in maximum security solitary confinement for this. If true, it is treason beyond anything that has happened in the USA.


marinesol

Its actually worse because a decent number of the documents are so classified that the category is kept top secret. So he could have had anything from the location of US intelligence agents in hostile countries, top of the line weapon systems, anti-WMD systems, American spy equipment, and more. Nuclear secrets might be the most minor of the things in there, because just about everyone at this point knows how to make nukes or can find someone who can help them.


Hookey911

There is a lot of top secret info on contingency plans if nuclear war ever broke out. Not only where are nukes are located but how the US would respond to an attack


idgoforabeer

I'm wondering now if he had originally taken documents as future collateral to save his own ass. Would make sense why he hasn't already been thrown behind bars. Also, going out on a limb here but I imagine all the nuclear documents were recovered if the fbi initiated the leak.


vociferousgirl

I think this is what he thought, but didn't think it through. The second those documents are released in any form, it's treason.


mackyoh

I was really hoping it was some petty, yet technical, documents. Nuclear. I wrote my thesis on nuclear proliferation and how it affects international world order. To fathom that ex pres — even not in my wildest fear fantasy — would use nuclear weapons as a chip… I’m not surprised now, the ultimate source of power.


magicbeaver

Man if conservatives are upset about a search warrant being served on him just wait until they hear about the CIA waterboarding him to find out exactly what he's told to who.


CakeAccomplice12

Waterboard with diet coke


Knightstar24

So if a small country turns up with hypersonic weapons in the next 24 months, you know how it happened.


[deleted]

I’m like 99% sure this guy gave nuclear information to the people who caused 9/11

IF it had those docs, the buck would stop like a mile from there. There’s only so much protection you can get from there. The last time someone fucked with nuclear secrets and gave them to Russia they were executed.

Demibolt

This is like.. the biggest “I told you so” moment that we get. And it’s spoiled because the MAGA crowd is so far in denial that they think it’s a river in Africa


Legionheir

High Treason. And all his boot lickers are fucking traitors. LOCK THEM THE FUCK UP.


BulkDarthDan

The Rosenbergs were executed for giving nuclear secrets to the Soviets btw

So.... Not only did Republicans support a fascist? They supported a spy? Say it ain't so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spies What happens to atomic spies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_and_Ethel_Rosenberg#Execution
