Now I see why Trump and RW media floated “the FBI planted evidence!” talking point.
If this report is true, this is the excuse Trump will use.
And his followers will lap it up.

I can think of another reason…

That would be the very kind reason. Sheer mind bending incompetence. But they’ve been asking and the subpoenaing him for the docs for a while.
He allegedly has information on world ending nuclear weapons technology. That’s probably the most sensitive material in the entire government

Imma going to wait and see.
Not to diminish that if true, because yeah it’s not good, but somebody got a pass for having the names of CIA operatives on their compromised computer/emails so, watch that first step off the ivory tower.

I dunno. I don’t think “nukular” documents is going to do it. Not nearly enough there, there.

I don’t think that anyone really got a pass for that.
Cost her the election.

Because he probably thought it was really cool to have them. (But really, that’s about it.)

Now now now, let’s not do that yet. Yikes.

Will that be enough of a consequence for Trump then?
She got a pass.

Me too but I can’t even go there…
A thorough search.
Seriously, of all the objections to have about this, “they searched her closet!
” is the dumbest.

For now, I am filing that under rumors that make no sense.

She didn’t have the names of CIA operatives in her emails.
She had indirect references to CIA operatives from which nobody specific could be identified.
If she had outed operatives, she would not have been “let off the hook”.
This might be a good start.

Unless it is shown that he was selling secrets… something that I don’t think was happening… I don’t think that he should go to jail. Get the Sandy Berger treatment. Pay a fine and have his security clearance stripped.
But really. If it is true… This puts to rest the idea that this was tyranny and politically motivated.
They gave him months to turn over these documents.
Months.

What’s to say. They were looking for something?
Get back to us when they find it.
