Is this worst than using Top Secret documents as toilet paper?

Possibly, yes, as these messages leaked details of ongoing military operations.


I never realized before with this photo, but space was actually made to still use the toilet sitting in that room with the tower of boxes 6 inches from your face. Straight out of a comedy sketch, almost too perfectly staged with the gaudy lights, stool colored formica, and $2 walmart shower curtain with the pressure fit rod right into the plaster. A shame for all of us that the photo came out of real life and not satire.


Pardon my ignorance but what’s the context of this picture? I don’t watch the news fwiw.


After he left office in 2021, it was found that Trump kept boxes and boxes of top secret files at his residence, including in the bathroom among other places. Somehow this is not an issue for the GOP.


In a bathroom that had a copy machine no less.


I believe that is a picture the FBI took when they raided Mar-a-Lago and found the top secret documents that Trump took when he left office after his first term.


These are files that he took, said he returned, refused to return, denied the existence of, then claimed that he declassified telepathically, in that order



There's a lot of useless junk that's cleared by association


Are you saying he only took meaningless stuff? Lol.


No; I'm saying that there is a lot of useless junk that has a clearance. I did not say that taking boxes and boxes and boxes of cleared materials into a likely-uncleared site was okay (it most definitely isn't).


I appreciate the clarification. I hope you'll understand the confusion created by offering a fact that does not apply to the current discussion.
