Journalists know: When leaders go berserk, furiously denying there's anything going on, blaming others--that's when you're getting close.

The @realDonaldTrump tweets likely refer to secret FISA court approval of warrants for intelligence gathering. twitter.com/w7voa/status/837998759418204160 …

No problem, Cussing. Smile

Holy shit someone's given him the bloody password again.

cozietoesie · 04/03/2017 12:46

They're 'mind-dumps' not considered Tweets. Quite revealing.

This scene from The West Wing might be interesting

'I have an FBI file'.

I would expect NSA would want to determine if ANY new President was a security threat. I don't think it's personal.

@scATX Anyone who knows cycles of abuse recognizes this. Esp dangerous time, coming off the high of his address, to feel backed into corner.

This, btw, is why it's particularly bad to over-praise this president. Building up abusers makes them even more dangerous in the downswing.

cozietoesie · 04/03/2017 12:48

Yes. I agree with her.

POTUS has legal right to release (i.e. declassify) classified info to public. BUT! Does that now make it subject to FOIA requests?

I hope that if Trump ever starts talking about launch codes, the cabinet will immediately invoke 25th Amendment, Section 4, and remove him.

How frightening that this even needs to be discussed....

cozietoesie · 04/03/2017 12:56

Yes, Ginger. Terrifying. Pence has turned out to be a busted flush on this matter.

Ami, on the WW theme wasn't there something in S7 when Jed knew what Matt was saying to foreign leaders who were calling to congratulate him?

I wonder if someone has explained to Trump the depth of the hole they are in re Russia and how much evidence is out there, including the FISA warrants.

Gumpendorf · 04/03/2017 13:01

Ah, on 2nd point ginger has got the detail. We are as one mind Wink

GingerIvy · 04/03/2017 13:07

If they have been listening to his phone from Trump Tower, I suspect they have a fair bit more than he is aware of.... well, until now.

BiglyBadgers · 04/03/2017 13:13

Here is the Breitbart article that includes the bit about Obama getting a FISA warrant to investigate links to Russia.

By confirming it publicly, Trump has also pretty much guaranteed no one can be charged for leaking the existence of this FISA warrant. Oops!
