4 months after the #FBI raided #MarALago, Trump’s attys discovered 4 docs marked #classified in his personal bedroom.
That revelation was among several cited by US District Judge Beryl Howell in a newly unsealed 2023 opinion that found prosecutors had presented compelling #evidence that #Trump#knowingly stashed #NationalSecurity docs in his home & then tried to conceal them when the #DOJ tried to retrieve them.
“Months after leaving the White House, #Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago Club -- an Australian billionaire who then allegedly shared the information with scores of others, including more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists” 1/... https://abcnews.go.com/US/after-white-house-trump-allegedly-discussed-potentially-sensitive/story?id=103760456
Eine alte Geschichte von mir...zeigt aber wie wichtig technischer Quellenschutz ist:
"Papier ist anonym, nichts deutet auf die Absenderin hin. Man könnte meinen: Papier ist sicherer als digitale unlöschbare Spuren. Doch auch bedrucktes Papier kann verräterische Metadaten enthalten.
Was Reality Winner zum Verhängnis wurde, war der Drucker."
#RealityWinner is a HERO. She went to jail for you and me - so that we Americans would KNOW how tRump had been installed into the White House rather than fairly elected.
Why has Joe Biden failed to #PardonReality? She is still prevented from travel outside of Texas & has a nightly curfew.
My only comment for today about #Trump being charged in federal court is this:
If there is any doubt that we have two legal systems in this country (one for rich people and one for poor people), what happened today is exhibit A to prove my point.
If he were a poor person or a non-famous person, he would be in jail right now, being held without bail. Instead, he is being allowed to continue to be effectively a free man.
Continued...
I keep thinking about #RealityWinner and #ChelseaManning. 2 heroic #whistleblowers who also leaked #classified documents, but for noble reasons. Neither of them got released on bail or OR while they awaited trial.
So why is Trump not in jail? He is an obvious flight risk (after all, he owns his own private plane!) and there is an ongoing risk that he will continue to leak classified information (even if he doesn't still have the paper documents).
On August 24, 2018, #President#DonaldTrump tweeted, "Ex-NSA contractor [Reality Winner] to spend 63 months in jail over 'classified' information. Gee, this is 'small potatoes' compared to what Hillary Clinton did!"
