Misadventures of a minority-elect President 94

Chronicling the misadventures of our minority-elect President’s alternate reality, alternative facts and the miscreants that comprise his administration so you don’t have to:

Trump went nuts when reports of his sharing intelligence with his Russian visitors came out, demanding loyalty while giving it to none is causing issues in our illegitimate, minority-elect President’s White House, Trump is dangerously incompetent, Trump’s Russia scandal keeps growing, the cost of Trump’s ignorance is going to get expensive, Trump’s fraudulent voter-fraud commission, dubious double standards from Trump on leaking sensitive information, ardent supporters growing disillusioned with our lackluster Liar-in-Chief, still being protected by his brown shirts in the U.S. Congress, some of the many reasons we got what we deserved with Trump, it appears that Trump did ask Comey to halt his investigation into Flynn, it’s sad when your aides say you’re too stupid to cause any harm because you don’t know what you’re leaking, more voters support Trump Impeachment than oppose it, if Trump were CEO he’d probably be fired and a lot more.

The cost of Trump’s profoundly ignorant corruption is worse, and it’s going to get expensive:

“The consequences of the president’s reported divulgence of top-secret codeword information to the Russians are only beginning.

If The Washington Post is right, President Trump divulged highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador at a jovial meeting in the Oval Office. Here is why this is appalling, beyond even this president’s usual standard.

Top secret codeword information is no joke

There are multiple flavors of intelligence classification, from “Confidential” (which is often in the public record already, just not acknowledged), to “Secret” (usually, though not always available if you know where to look—or are willing to wait a few days), to “Top Secret” which is beginning to be serious. The codewords, which security officials began using in World War II to protect signal intercepts (e.g. ULTRA), tell you whence the information was derived—so Top Secret/codeword material really has to be protected. Any of us who have had those kinds of clearances have gone through repeated trainings about how to safeguard such material (cover sheets, multiple envelopes, proper paragraph marking, etc.). And if you hope to keep your job and stay out of jail, you take it seriously. You do not have access to any and all compartments if you have a top-secret clearance.
