ansible (1,381 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215454923Could Trump know important state secrets that he's using as leverage to not get imprisoned?The lack of any push to imprison him even after something as bad as 1/6 makes me wonder this. Presidents are supposed to be privileged to certain important state secrets, could he be using that as leverage?

RockRaven (8,474 posts) 10. First, the current administration won't negotiate with a traitor under those terms.Secondly, the former guy was infamously disinterested in details, doing the job properly, etc. Remember the single page briefings, the bullet points, the pictures, the references to himself needed just to get him to sit through a briefing? Also remember that people preparing briefings held back things, using his preferences as an excuse. He knows a ****-ton less than Obama, Bush, or Clinton did upon their leaving the office. Not nothing, but not so much.Third, he's such a ****ing liar/blowhard/bullshitter that no foreign intelligence service would make a decision or take an action based on something he says, even if he swears it's a true supersecret. What he's offering is trash, even if it happens to be real, because of who he is.If somebody is going to try this maneuver, and thinks they can blackmail the DOJ... Well, I think Jared is much more likely to be the one. He had access to just about everything, he's corrupt as ****, he's astonishingly arrogant and entitled -- so far all like Dolt45 -- but he's not the doddering bloviator his father-in-law is so he might plausibly have a customer lined up for his info. But I don't think the DOJ would blink with Jared either.
Star Member Takket (14,342 posts) 12. i doubt itwe're talking about a guy who couldn't be bothered with the daily briefings and chose to spend him time instead watching faux noise and reading the positive newspaper clippings his staff somehow found and put in a folder for him. i think most of the civilian hierarchy in the white house kept away anything of value from him because they knew it went straight to putin.
and DJT is still living rent free in their tiny little minds...
Since their minds - if they have one - are uncluttered by knowledge and thought, that's probably a pretty capacious space.
I've always been very concerned that Barack Obama, as a courtesy to a former president, is let in on national security secrets and then blabs them to his pals, most of them enemies and even viable threats to the United States.
The lack of any push to imprison him even after something as bad as 1/6 makes me wonder this.
