Material from a binder with highly classified information connected to the investigation into Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 election disappeared in the final days of Donald J. Trump’s presidency, two people familiar with the matter said.
The disappearance of the material, known as the “Crossfire Hurricane” binder for the name given to the investigation by the F.B.I., vexed national security officials and set off concerns that sensitive information could be inappropriately shared, one of the people said.
The material’s disappearance was reported earlier Friday by CNN. The matter was so concerning to officials that the Senate Intelligence Committee was briefed about it last year, a U.S. official said.
Ok, am I crazy, or is the US screwed?? I’m almost sure that Putin conducted a successful coup with Trump. Trump gave important secrets to Putin and shared the identities of several CIA spies working in Russia. He also appointed 3 Supreme Court justices that are loyal to him. Who knows what else Trump did that is not public knowledge. Biden was our last chance, but I don’t think we’re going to survive.
Vote and encourage others to do the same
US is only screwed if Trump gets back into power. The Supreme Court Justices can cause a lot of disruption but it’s not enough by itself.
That’s the thing. If the screwed is dependent on one person not becoming president, then the country is screwed already. It is not supposed to be like that. One person having the capacity to destroy a country is not okay. That is why it’s so scary to me.
I wonder to what level agencies started to try and not share information with him or anyone else in their clan.
Wait til they hear about what the climate is up to LOL.
I kinda find it ridiculous that there’s 300 million+ of you and you guys can’t do better than senile old fart or orange senile Russian-ball-fondling old fart. Where are all the 30, 40, hell 50 year Olds?

I’m not sure any of it could be classified as “coup”, though arguing terminology can be a pointless rabbit hole. Trump won “fair and square”, since fair and square by design means not necessarily winning the popular vote. The appointments weren’t due to removing other judges, but due to needing to fill spots.

Ironic that you decry us for not doing better while you simultaneously fall for propaganda.
What propaganda, exactly? Did I say anything that wasn’t true? Is it about Biden, who’s 81 and really should be letting a more age-representative president take the spotlight? Is it about Trump, who’s been just about the most divisive president we’ve seen in recent history, not to mention an utter buffoon?
Or is it about the Coup thing, of which I happen to know a bit about since I’ve lived in a country that has actually had coups, the most recent one being sponsored by the US?
Biden is old, but calling him “senile” is a lie.
The fact that old people reliably vote and young people have been bad at it, pushes for older and more conservative politicians than would be representative of the population.
I’ve read some things about turnout getting better along younger people, so that’s encouraging.
Where are all the 30, 40, hell 50 year Olds?
Inshallah, Buttigieg will be our
48th47th President.But Biden was indeed my first choice in the Primaries. Loved Booker, but he didn’t really have a shot.
And you made the right choice by voting for Biden, it’s just ridiculous that that had to be the case.
I’m sure it’s fine. All the other stuff was kept in the secure Mar-a-lago bathroom, but this particular piece of intel was so hidden, even the FBI couldn’t find it in the ultra-secure 'Behind the shower curtain" vault.
The binder consists of a hodgepodge of materials related to the origins and early stages of the Russia investigation that were collected by Trump administration officials. They included copies of botched F.B.I. applications for national-security surveillance warrants to wiretap a former Trump campaign adviser as well as text messages between two F.B.I. officials involved in the inquiry, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, expressing animus toward Mr. Trump.
Gosh, I can’t imagine who would have wanted to stash that away while stewing about revenge.
Did you look under the sink next to the Softsoap refill jug?
They don’t do backups there?
Because of course
