    who in the government leaked information about the security deficiencies of a Qatari-gifted airplane meant to be used as Air Force One

    …Is that a leak? You don’t exactly need to be an OpSec professional to see what a stupid fucking idea that is.

      I mean, yeah, obviously a plane made by a foreign country is not going to have all the security and defensive capabilities of one made in the US, because we’re not about to give all that trade secret/top secret information to a foreign country to put that stuff on the plane.

      Yeah it’s weird they are acting like that’s a scandal now when all that has happened is what every rational person assumed would happen taking a country’s most important aircraft from a foreign nation - months ago.

        It’s just more flooding the zone, I kind of suspect that on his Thursday press release he’s gonna start talking about aliens

            He was in Portland, had his hair up in a bun and wore timberlands. Every time I spotted him he blew a whistle and had a bunch of crackheads beat the shit out of me and steal my left shoe. What the hell was he gonna do with my left shoe, no way his big feet were gonna fit him.

            This is a reference to a comic.

      I mean, based on publicly available criteria and descriptions… it probably is.

      Its one thing for you or I to say “That plane probably has a deficiency in its countermeasures” because we have no inside information and no way to really have any. And no reputable news outlet would run that story.

      But for somebody who works in the government who WOULD be privvy to that information to say it? It holds a lot more weight and provides a vulnerability that could lead to the death of the president (which, for the purposes of all the fbi agents reading this: would be bad).

      Its obviously a temper tantrum by said potus because he can’t show off the expensive gift his new beau gave him. And there are some very serious questions about how anyone signed off on him flying in it at all (for MANY reasons…). But… this kinda IS a pretty serious leak.

      Its similar to how you or I can talk about how John Hinckley Jr was told to bust a cap in reagan’s ass by his robot dog and it isn’t an issue. But if George HW Bush started talking about how his dinner guest’s brother was being manipulated by a robot dog?

        No. It’s absolutely a matter of public concern. More people than just the president fly on that plane, and it is plainly obvious that his tantrum put those people at risk, and it took going to the media to get the issue taken seriously. If adults were in charge this would never have been an issue. This is what corruption gets you. Stop defending it.

          … Someone providing additional context is not “defending” something. And maybe think how that mindset relates to the folk who scream “fake news” and “college is liberal brain washing”.

        Ah, but you forget that an ignorant opinion is just as important as an expert analysis.

    Organizations with bad leaders leak because no one believes in doing the bad things that the bad leaders want.

    And this organization is leaking like sieve.

        I’d bring a burner phone to work at the FBI, take pictures of the screen when the saucy shit turned up, but if you did that you’d likely get tried for treason and hanged.

          Doubtful. Nobody’s been hanged in the US for anti trump politics.

          Much more likely that ICE would just murder you.

      Since the Donvict’s incompetence in picking leaders has gone as expected we ought to expect the leaking to continue. They’ll put a hand over one of the many many pinpricks and declare victorious mission accomplished. Another reason for Trumpepstein to be jealous of ‘Obamna.’

    So like, sure Trump might love to fly in this and have some wink wink nudge nudge… okay well ignore that part, has a blatant deal with them, I can’t imagine how any other president/vice-president would ever fly in it. You could never really trust that the Qatari couldn’t somehow disable the plane at will.

    LoL, good luck. When you piss off everyone, then everyone is gonna be wanting to piss on you. Metaphorically speaking, of course. I’m not kink shaming.
