MORE WRITERS THAT SAY THAT DONALD TRUMP IS A CROOK!

 

                          …An appropriate caricature of the former U.S. President

 

The attitude about the former president seems to maybe be universal.

 

The following is what three major news organizations writers have to say about the classified documents that Donald Trump took from the people’s White House.

“New revelations about Trump’s secret-document theft have raised grave concern among U.S intelligence agencies,” said Julian Barnes and Mark Mazzetti in The New York Times.

A redacted  federal affidavit released last week showed he  held numerous documents marked “HCS,” which contain information obtained by human sources, CIA spies and informants. 

It raised the possibilities that such sources could be identified and their lives put at risk, “if the documents got into the wrong hands.”  Just last year the CIA warned every one of its stations around the world about “troubling numbers of informants being captured or killed.”

The Justice Department has “serially destroyed  the lies Trump has told in his defense,” said Jonathan Chait in New York Magazine.  “He had no right to take these highly sensitive government documents to Mar-a-Lago, as he claimed, nor was he cooperating fully.”  Instead, it’s now clear Trump and his lawyers lied repeatedly about what documents he held and where they were being kept.

“No one should be intimidated by threats of violence, “said Amanda Marcotte in Salon.  “Trump’s ability to command loyalty and incite his followers is built on their belief in his apparently bottomless power to impose his will over reality.  A public court case that reveals Trump as a flailing, frightened crook will puncture that illusion and weaken the cult leader’s holdover his followers.  They may even start looking for the exits.”
