How do we define possible treason that Trump talks about a lot – well, folks, this is it bigtime in simple stark terms.
That issue is reported here
from THE HILL with this headline and
also from ABC Aussie News:
“Jack Smith probed Trump’s
nuclear subs discussion with Australian billionaire: Report”
Trump allegedly discussed
classified information about U.S. nuclear submarine capabilities with an
Australian billionaire, Anthony Pratt (pictured above), at Mar-a-Lago after Trump
left office.
Pratt then passed the classified information on to others,
who reported the disclosures to DOJ S/C Jack Smith according to reports.
Trump allegedly discussed
the submarines with Pratt in early 2021, disclosing classified information
about how many nuclear armaments they carry and how close they can travel to
Russian submarines without being detected.
ABC News reported that
Pratt later shared that information with more than a dozen foreign officials,
several of his own employees, and multiple journalists.
The FBI and DOJ prosecutors
have questioned Pratt about the information at least twice.
Smith charged Trump with illegally holding classified documents at
the Mar-a-Lago property in June, alleging that he hid them from DOJ investigators.
That case is scheduled to go to trial in May 2024.
That case does not include
mention of the alleged disclosures to Pratt. According to those Pratt mentioned
the conversation to, Trump told Pratt that Australia should purchase U.S.
submarines, then disclosed the classified information while “leaning toward
him, as if to be discreet.”
Pratt then told a total of
some 45 people about the interaction (ABC News also reported).
After months of negotiations Biden agreed to sell at
least three nuclear-powered submarines to Australia in addition to training and
other aid in a three-country defense agreement with the U.K. in March.
FYI NOTE: Those Biden-approved submarines
will not carry nuclear weapons.
My 2 Cents: This is a very serious crime now exposed to the light
of day.
Trump must be fully
punished for that disclosure of either Secret or possibly Top Secret and/or (TS/SCI)
information to a Aussie civilian (or anyone not authorized to see the
classified information and especially after Trump has already the left office),
and for reasons we need to know, e.g., for money, favors, or quid pro quo, etc.
Any person who has or will
do exactly that same thing that Trump did would be serving hard time in prison…
so why isn’t Trump – at least not yet?
Thanks for stopping by.
