(Imagine if former President Barack Obama had done this!) But the MAGAs are two-faced, anti-democracy cultists who care nothing for their country because they love a Liar, a Cheat, a Fraud, and a Rapist more than they love America.
According to source familiar with the matter, Trump shared the submarine information with an Australian billionaire who then shared it with scores of others including at least a dozen foreign officials, his own employees, and even a handful of curious journalists.
This wasn't an intelligence leak, it was a flood.
The stunning allegation was reported to Special Counsel Jack Smith who is currently investigating Trump's illegal smuggling and hoarding of classified documents at his Florida compound.
Prosecutors and the FBI have repeatedly interviewed the billionaire in question, Mar-a-Lago member Anthony Pratt, and he was the one who spilled the beans on Trump.
Pratt claimed that during a conversation with Trump, he mentioned the American submarine fleet. The ex-president then got excited, leaned closer to be stealthy, and told him two crucial pieces of information about U.S. submarines:
1) The exact number of nuclear warheads they carry.
2) Exactly how close they can get to a Russian submarine without detection.
This information would be EXTREMELY useful to America's adversaries and is something Trump should never have revealed.
Pratt then went on to share the information with at least 45 other people via emails and conversations.

Build an impenetrable maximum security prison for one person for when tRump the insurrectionist, rapist, and traitor is convicted. Then place tRump in it and throw away the keys.
Shaw asked... "Imagine if former President Barack Obama had done this!"
Yes, imagine.
I am sure the purists like -FJ would be defending Obama on free speech 1st amendment rights. There's no way any conservatives would change their views based on party is there?
Like if they believed what someone once said that only mobsters or criminals "take the fifth" that wouldn't change if one of their own took claimed that right would it?
Nuclear secrets, putting all our submariners in danger. Incredible.
the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads they routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a Russian submarine without being detected.
from Wiki: 20[a] × Trident I C4 SLBM with up to 8 MIRVed 100 ktTNT W76 nuclear warheads each, range 4,000 nmi (7,400 km; 4,600 mi)
These submarines are reported to be as quiet at their cruising speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph) or more as the previous Lafayette-class submarines at 6 knots (11 km/h; 6.9 mph), although exact information remains classified
SO how close and at what speed? Before or after the props begin to cavitate?
Is that too "sensitive" a type of "information"?
The scumball traitor should be hung at sunrise and left to rot.
"Is that too "sensitive" a type of 'information' "?
And you know that is the exact and correct information how? Are you privy to top secret information on America's nuclear defenses?
I once was. I was a Lt(jg) as an Unrestricted Line Officer in the USNR. I even had a CNWDI clearance, along with numerous others, including code word clearances
Wanna know what we consulted when designing new naval systems? Open Source intelligence. It's "highly sensitive".
:P

That's great. Thank you for your service.
Your welcome. And I thank Trump for his...
On 15 September 2021, the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia announced a trilateral partnership called “AUKUS” to assist Australia in acquiring nuclear-powered submarines, among other topics of security cooperation.23 It has not been announced whether or not the U.S. or U.K. will supply the submarines to Australia.24
Ever read the <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/09/us/washington-pentagon-papers-max-frankel.html">Frankel Memo</a> resulting from the publishing of the Pentagon Papers? It describes in detail how "secrecy" and "classification" in Washington DC REALLY works. It's what ultimately makes these so-called charges against Trump LAUGHABLE.
The leaking of classified is journalism's MAIN BUSINESS.
