Trump Revealed Nuclear Submarine Secrets to Australian Businessman

[Rebound]

Shortly after he left office, former President Donald J. Trump shared apparently classified information about American nuclear submarines with an Australian businessman during an evening of conversation at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The businessman, Anthony Pratt, a billionaire member of Mar-a-Lago who runs one of the world’s largest cardboard companies, went on to share the sensitive details about the submarines with several others, the people said. Mr. Trump’s disclosures, they said, potentially endangered the U.S. nuclear fleet.

During his talk with Mr. Pratt, Mr. Trump revealed at least two pieces of critical information about the U.S. submarines’ tactical capacities, according to the people familiar with the matter. Those included how many nuclear warheads the vessels carried and how close they could get to their Russian counterparts without being detected.

Mr. Trump has been known to share classified information verbally on other occasions. During an Oval Office meeting in 2017 shortly after he fired the F.B.I. director James B. Comey, Mr. Trump revealed sensitive classified intelligence to two Russian officials, according to people briefed on the matter.

Not surprising. Trump has NO RESPECT for the lives of US service personnel that he endangers with his cavalier disclosures of classified information. ?

This is news indeed!  If he did this, President at the time or not, this IS treason. The classified documents he "may" have shown others, the ones he allegedly " lost or destroyed" and all the arguments about where they are, whats still missing, etc.  don't hold a candle to actual First Person reports of someone who tells us they were  given our most Top Secret Defense information about the exact capabilities of our nuclear submarines and their armaments and defenses, and then to find out Trump also showed them to"  40- 45 others" at his estate at Mar el Largo!  I think that just blew any chance he might have had on any immunity ....

Hold that thought a moment. 
Donald Trump revealed extremely sensitive U.S. defense secrets with a foreign national who manufactures cardboard boxes.  That’s ok with you, because Trump. So you’re the one who’s deranged.

classification is not the law

classification is only by Presidential Executive Order under Article II War Powers

thus the POTUS, as the CInC,  has absolute authority over all classified information

the President can classify, declassify and/or communicate classified information as he sees fit

Is the "cure" to ONLY watch FOS LIES exclusively and thereby avoid hearing the TRUTH about what Trump is doing?

That clearly works FOR YOU. LMAO

The cure, roboparrot, is to remove that implanted chip from what's left of your brain.

Unfortunate that you've obviously not freed yourself from the FOS LIES yoke.

You have ZERO credibility here due to your continual evidence free BULLSHIT.

Are you trying to say Biden nuked someone? Was it an enemy at least?

Please tell me he didn't nuke Germany or Japan... he knows WWII is over, right?

Dude, I get that technology has grown by leaps and bound over the past decades, but no one has a chip small enough to fit inside a leftard brain. 

[CdnFox]

So... there's no actual evidence of this and no charges or anything... but every anti trump lunatic decides it's absolutely the truth

and those same people insist that the evidence against biden should be completely ignored  

LOL - and they wonder why biden is doing badly in the polls,

I was responding to the above comment "President at the time or not, this is Treason"

although the charge would still not be Treason, since Australia is not a hostile foreign power

Yes, this is true. But unforgivable conduct for a guy who ran for President on a platform of protecting classified information. 
 

The Feds will surely compel this person to testify that he received Classified information from Trump after Trump left office, which strengthens the case that Trump was not adequately protecting the classified documents which he kept and refused to return.

And McCarthy was also very powerful, until the bubble burst and he lost most of his power.

 

Quote

Conclusion
Many observers believed that the Watkins Committee really wanted to avoid the unpleasantness of censure and had taken every measure possible to accommodate McCarthy, but his raucous demeanor and attacks on the committee members finally pressed them too far. Even so, the committee based its recommendations on McCarthy's violation of Senate behavioral norms and took no position on his anticommunist crusade.

McCarthy tried to appear unaffected by the censure, but it became apparent that the Senate vote had robbed him of his power and status. As his political fortunes waned, so did his health. He died in 1957.

I am honored by the attention you've given me, but it is rendered meaningless by ^this STUPIDITY.

You keep demonstrating why you have NO CREDIBILITY. :applause:
