The mystery of the missing binder: How a collection of raw Russian intelligence disappeared under Trump

Quote

A binder containing highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, raising alarms among intelligence officials that some of the most closely guarded national security secrets from the US and its allies could be exposed.

Its disappearance, which has not been previously reported, was so concerning that intelligence officials briefed Senate Intelligence Committee leaders last year about the missing materials and the government’s efforts to retrieve them.

In the two-plus years since Trump left office, the missing intelligence does not appear to have been found.

The binder contained raw intelligence the US and its NATO allies collected on Russians and Russian agents, including sources and methods that informed the US government’s assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to help Trump win the 2016 election.

The intelligence was so sensitive that lawmakers and congressional aides with top secret security clearances were able to review the material only at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where their work scrutinizing it was itself kept in a locked safe.

The binder was last seen at the White House during Trump’s final days in office. The former president had ordered it brought there so he could declassify a host of documents related to the FBI’s Russia investigation. Under the care of then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, the binder was scoured by Republican aides working to redact the most sensitive information so it could be declassified and released publicly.

The Russian intelligence was just a small part of the collection of documents in the binder, described as being 10 inches thick and containing reams of information about the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. But the raw intelligence on Russia was among its most sensitive classified materials, and top Trump administration officials repeatedly tried to block the former president from releasing the documents. 

Seems obvious that Trump wanted to help Putin find and root out sources and methods that informed the US government’s assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to help Trump win the 2016 election. AKA, No more snitching on Putin to US intel.

Shouldn't be a problem - just get the dems to write a new one.

With midgets. 

I don't know who wrote the first one with only hookers in it, but it wasn't worthy of Trump. 

The digitally remastered version needs midgets, schissporn, anthrax, headless Barbie dolls, at least one zombie outbreak, Martha Stewart and of course, this guy:

"Hail to The King, baby!"

Agreed. It was insufficiently bigly.

I'd also like a better musical score.  Something grand and sweeping like "star wars". When i read the first one all i could hear was the theme to benny hill.

Benny Hill music was actually perfect for the Russian collusion "plot", now that you mention it.

Trump: "Hey, let's rig this election. We'll get some hookers to pee on a bed, and we'll hire Russian hackers to see if they can hack the DNC server for evidence of their lizard DNA or something. What more could it possibly take to win an election? POTUS FOR LLLIIIIIIIFE!!!"

Or we could find Biden 'running' around and put it at 24x speed.

That's pretty much anyone else at regular speed. The only thing that would seem fast or out of the ordinary there would be the trip and falls.

Two Canadians making jokes about US national security threats just shows the depth of their depravity and IGNORANCE about national security matters.
