Classified Doc On Russian Interference Last Seen With Trump Has Gone Missing

A classified document outlining Russian election interference has gone missing - and it hasn't been seen since Trump was in the White House. This is almost a little too on the nose, and it would make perfect sense for Trump to want this document to never see the light of day again. There are no accusations yet that Trump took it, but it certainly sounds like something he would do. Farron Cousins explains what we know.

Well, folks, it looks like another classified document has gone missing from the federal government. This one contains information about Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election, and it was last seen quite literally in the hands of Donald Trump. So this document that also contains other national security information about Russia, that the disappearance of it has now made our European allies very nervous, but again, it has not been seen for years and was last seen in the hands of Donald J. Trump a few days before he left the White House. Now I know what you're thinking, right? But let's look at this rationally, okay? Let's not jump to any conclusions about what may have happened to this document about Russian interference in the 2016 election. Let's, let's put on our investigator caps, shall we? Because there's a couple things, you know, in order to identify a suspect. 'cause right now could be anybody, right?

I mean, totally could be anybody. So let's narrow it down a bit. First and foremost, this document was so highly classified that even people with top secret security clearance, like the top of the top members of Congress, they were only allowed to view it at the headquarters in Langley. So this was not a document that was just handed out Willy-nilly. So first of all, you gotta have somebody who somehow is above all of that, that can actually request that the document leave the facility at Langley. Okay? So there's your criteria, number one for finding a suspect. Number two, you have to find somebody that would, you know, be interested in, uh, you know, Russia's interference in the 2016 election. So there's criteria number two. Number three, it, it would help if, if any of the possible people who meet the first two criteria, do any of them have a, uh, knack for taking classified documents? Hmm. Okay. So those are three criteria, but number four, obviously a highly sensi sensitive piece of classified intelligence. So even if you meet all three, the fourth criteria would be you have to have somebody who's either stupid enough or arrogant enough to think that they're not gonna get caught taking this document.

I got nothing. I mean, uh, as far as I could tell, there's literally nobody on this planet that would meet all those criteria except for Donald Trump. Like literally every single box of who it could be is just Donald Trump. Now, I'm not saying Trump took the document. All

I'm saying is that he had the opportunity, he had the motivation, and he's done it before, and he was the last one seen with it. It's like if you're having a cookout and you're making a bunch of burgers, and you asked this one guy, Hey, go take the burgers to the table. By the time the guy who had the burgers gets to the table, all the burgers are gone. So you're looking at all your guests like who ate all the burgers, but the guy that was taking 'em to the table was actually the hamburger. And he's like, I don't know. I don't know, man, is burgers beats the hell outta me? Like, no, everybody's of course going to assume the Hamburglar ate all your burgers. And that's what we're dealing with right now. Donald Trump obviously does not want people to know what really happened in the 2016 presidential election. He was the last one with the document. Now the document is missing. Donald Trump, of course, has taken classified documents in the past. So was this not one of the ones at Mar-a-Lago? Do we need to go dig up Ivanka and see if this document is buried with her? Like, I'm not even kidding. There is a possibility he put this in her coffin. So I don't know if y'all wanna find it. I'd say get some shovels and head up to Bedminster, because that's probably your best bet of getting that document back.
