Trump's transition is happening over private emails

Thursday, December 19, 2024

Federal officials say they're worried about sharing documents via email with Donald Trump's transition team because the incoming officials are eschewing government devices, email addresses and cybersecurity support, raising fears that they could potentially expose sensitive government data. The private emails have agency employees considering insisting on in-person meetings and document exchanges that they otherwise would have conducted electronically, according to two federal officials granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation. Their anxiety is particularly high in light of recent hacking attempts from China and Iran that targeted Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and other top officials.

Well, Trump established that there's no penalty for stealing and refusing to return sensitive documents. So why should they go through the process of getting devices issued when it's clearly just fine to simply have the documents unsecured and untracked?

I have a feeling cases of suspected espionage are going to go way up over the next four years.

And Biden proved to be the first president too incompetent to stand trial for the same exact accusations.

The Turd Lies. And spreads lies.

The claim: Joe Biden was declared 'mentally unfit' to stand trial

A Facebook ad distributed to more than 20,000 screens makes a claim about President Joe Biden's mental competency.

"First president in history declared mentally unfit to stand trial," reads text on an image of Biden.

The special counsel's report does not say Biden is mentally unfit for trial, as the Facebook post claims. The report makes no determination about Biden's competency to stand trial " a phrase with a specific legal definition " and that was not its purpose.

Will you look at that? The lying Turd quoted the lie exactly word for word.

Mark Twain once said, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes."

And it's probably a Russian lie the Turd gleefully is repeating.

Getting caught repeating debunked lies (ALMOST word for word) is funny to The Turd.

What did you expect to happen?

Reasonable, given the FBI spied on Trump's transition team under Obama.
