Trump kept classified docs tied to ‘business interests’ and showed Susie Wiles a top-secret map, ‘damning’ DOJ memo reveals

[deleted]

Remember folks, it is the information that is (de)classified, not the document.

OK... But when is someone going to F****** DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?!?! I am so sick and tired of seeing daily and hourly headlines like this because the list of "damning evidence" just keeps piling up. And each new headline is a distraction from the previous one, and no one is doing anything to change that. Where is the accountability?!?! All these articles and headlines ever do is increase American societal apathy. And the only thing corrupt career politicians and criminals love more than money and themselves is apathetic voters... Edit: typo and clarification

*Lock him up* ‘Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them,’ a Democratic lawmaker wrote" "The Democratic lawmaker’s claims have renewed focus on[ Trump’s classified documents case](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-boxes-jack-smith-documents-b2568603.html), in which he was criminally indicted under the Espionage Act in June 2023 for allegedly keeping hundreds of classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office." "The case, spearheaded by Smith, was dismissed in July 2024 by a federal judge, who ruled that Smith had been unconstitutionally appointed. The special counsel was appealing that decision until Trump was re-elected to the White House in November of that year, after which the case was dropped. The documents at the center of the case were later returned to Trump." “They include a January 13, 2023, memorandum, in which prosecutors wrote that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has determined that the classified documents President Trump retained from the White House ‘were commingled with documents created after Trump left office,’” Raskin wrote. “FBI has also found that certain classified documents President Trump improperly retained ‘would be pertinent to certain business interests.’ DOJ prosecutors further assessed that these ‘classified documents pertinent to his business interests’ established ‘a motive for retaining them.’” "The documents also indicate that, during a 2022 flight to his [golf club in New Jersey](https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/trump-westchester-golf-club-rodents-insects-bedminster-b2932233.html), Trump may have shown off a classified map to individuals aboard the plane, including Wiles, now his chief of staff. The Justice Department produced a map of the aircraft, but the names of the passengers were redacted." “It is now clear that DOJ is in possession of evidence that President Trump has already endangered national security to further the interests of Trump family businesses,” the House Democrat concluded. “It is time for you to stop the cover-up and allow the American people to know what secrets he betrayed and how he may have cashed in on them.” "Later in the letter Raskin writes: “The memorandum further specifies that the disclosure of these documents represented ‘an aggravated potential harm to national security.’ The prosecutors also wrote that these were ‘highly sensitive documents—the type of documents that only presidents and officials with the most sensitive authority have.’ One ‘particularly sensitive document was accessible by only 6? people, including the president.’” "He says it is not currently clear what the map Trump supposedly showed to others was of, but notes that the president was at that time involved in a business deal with Saudi interests over the LIV golf tournament. Raskin also cites reports that Trump had been talking to “his ghost writer” about possessing Pentagon plans for a potential attack on Iran." "Raskin wrote that the “damning” information about Trump had apparently been issued by accident. He wrote: “(Y)ou have, quite amazingly, missed the fact that some of the documents you provided include damning evidence about your boss’s conduct and may well violate the gag order your DOJ and Donald Trump demanded from Judge Aileen Cannon.” "On Wednesday morning, the [Department of Justice](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/pam-bondi-threats-military-base-epstein-cartels-b2936022.html) posted a lengthy response to Raskin’s letter on social media." “We understand that RepRaskin, much like Jack Smith, is blinded by hatred of President Trump, however, he needs to get his facts straight—this Department of Justice is the most transparent in history in part because of our efforts to expose the weaponization of the Biden administration in full compliance with the law and the court,” the department wrote on X."

"One ‘particularly sensitive document was accessible by only 6? people, including the president.’” This is highly compartmented, and almost certainly TOP SECRET. The DOD/IC only limits compartments this much for very fragile sources deep inside other countries. If the existence of the source is revealed then the other country will take steps to close it. (The movie "Imitation Game" covers this very well after they crack the enigma machine.) Even something as innocent as a report of a hallway conversation between X and Y discussing their favorite colors could rate a TS/SCI marking. If X was a mole then even the existence of this conversation in US intel files would indicate to the foreign government that they had a mole and the mole was X. A valuable channel of inside information would be closed off, causing an incalculable loss to the intelligence community. So having this stuff in cardboard boxes and not a restricted-access SCIF is unbelievably reckless. Letting a guy like Trump read them is also unbelievably reckless, as Trump is the sort to blurt out, "I have it on good authority that Y likes purple" to impress people with his insider information. Only those six would know that X was likely to disappear in the next couple of days. We the people would be no wiser.

So, Wiles was the dingbat on the previously released recording who was absolutely amazed by Trump’s brilliance. That makes sense.

Isn’t Susie in hiding right now?

Look everyone a map of all our strategic military operations.....aren't I cool?

Judge Aileen Cannon committed judicial malpractice for her client Trump. They both need to be impeached, charged, locked up, and assets seized.

You guys remember when he showed kid rock secret stuff and even kid rock was like "I totally shouldn't be looking at this..."    https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/147wku1/video_resurfaces_of_kid_rock_claiming_trump/

My god. There are SO DAMN MANY impeachable offenses this man has committed. The fact that he walks free, on the taxpayer dime, is an affront never before seen in this country.

Treason? Is it treason yet??

Take a number, get in line. This is just another one of the seemingly endless illegal actions he's committed.  And they are all serious, and any one of them he should be impeached and also imprisoned for. 

It’s only “damning” if we choose to do something about it.

One of his 'businesses' is apparently selling nuclear secrets to the highest bidder.

Hey guys, can you please get your shit together, arrest him and throw him in jail? Love from Australia

Subpoena Susie Wiles. 

Also he’s a rapist and pedophile.

F*** Aileen Cannon. Corrupt ass judge

The good news is any statute of limitations should toll while Trump is in office so he can be prosecuted after. The bad news (for the case) is given his general health and age, he will likely be resting six feet under the soon to be most pissed upon plot of land on the planet. There was a pope that had the previous pope dug up and put his corpse on trial, though. Didn’t work out well.

Is this possibly related to that [whistle blower complaint related to Gabbard](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/details-reveal-whistleblower-complaint-tulsi-gabbard-rcna258268) from a little while back?

Suzie needs to see them, so she can read them out loud to him, then make a decision for him on what next to do. She is his non demented brain lobe. If you noticed, she is always with him these days.

All these stories say this like we didn't already know he was going to sell or trade these to anyone

He will accedently tweet the nuclear codes or something or reveal the ___ weapons location. Maybe he will leak the files just to brag. And than tell someone they are fired from the apprentice.

This is popping up all over but what the f*** does this really accomplish? It's great we have more proof but I really don't see this helping all that much. Most overinflated news hyped up to keep fake hope alive. Where are the army of lawyers being used to reinforce our right vs destroy them? Where are our loopholes like the GOP used for years? Why are dem leadership still playing by a rule book that will get us killed? What does this impact the primary goal in an impactful way before the GOP tries to steal our elections? We tired of BS results and cowtowing to rapists and murders but that means no one is going to come save us. We do what distastful and push back with everything we can find or we play by their rules and suffer through so our children and their children pay the price.

Duh

So what was the map of? I’d bet a lot of money that it’s would suggest they were planning something extremely illegal and fucked up.

Almost as bad as having nuclear secrets in a golf club bathroom

I’m surprised this even made the news. Not flashy enough for the media these days

Damning? To who? What's going to happen?

Trump’s a security risk. He needs to be tried for treason.

Merrick Garland and Biden really screwed us. Worst AG ever

These are the documents hidden previously, correct?

It's not "damning" if nothing happens.

That oughta do it. It’s Miller Time.

And nothing will ever come of this. :)

As to any president showing anyone something TS (or S or C or whatever) ....the authority to do so originates with the president. The only exception is most nuclear weapons info (Truman changed that to DOE has the authority). There is no 'stealing' or anything classified by a sitting president. This is an article (from a foreign news agency) that has seems to have zero understanding of how the classified powers in the US work. The interesting part will be Susie Wiles... will she 'come clean'? Or maybe she thought she could direct Trump and keep him more or less under control. Regardless, either 'someone' is leaking this, or it is total BS.
