    An informant is no longer an informant if their identity is revealed.

    So are we supposed to just believe anything because there's supposedly some anonymous informant?

    How very CNN like. Get back to us if there's ever any evidence would you?

    No, you don't have to. I'm just saying revealing the identity of an informant isn't as easy as you are making it to be.

    Just prove the information correct then.
    You don't have to believe it either. But you evidently do.

    What else will you so easily believe without evidence? Pretty much anything as long as it's disparaging of the political opposites, right ?

    Lol sounds like the stolen election folks to me
    I’m skeptical it’s a total fabrication, but it’s certainly possible the reporting isn’t 100% accurate about what he said. We can still discuss the story without assuming it’s definitely 100% factual.

    The bottom line is... Where is the evidence?

    We can also discuss purple unicorns who fart green clouds of gas. Both are just as verified

    You expect to see the evidence from an ongoing investigation? Feel free to take it with a grain of salt.

    As verified as the Biden crime family nonsense, but we still discuss it don’t we?

    I wanted some answer of actual substance but I guess I was being overly optimistic.

    There's actually plenty of smoke there.
    The cover up for this administration will not last forever. The facts will come to light

    If this audio exists, and I have no reason to believe it doesn't, this is as close to a smocking gun as there is likely to be.... proof that he KNEW he couldn't automatically declassify everything he took

    Also, I got this chuckle

    SNIP
    The recording was made at Trump’s Bedminster golf club in July 2021, when the former president met with people helping his former chief of staff Mark Meadows write a book,
    ENDSNIP

    Anybody who believes they are going to get a reasonably accurate accounting of working for Mango are going to be completely disappointed...

    Well, "I don't know" didn't seem to make its way in there, so I thought a slice of humor might work to a relatively ridiculous question..

    I guess we both learned something today...

    Trump is certainly digging a huge whole for himself. This fiasco is undoubtedly one of his worst. I've read some of the usual MAGA denials, but even without the recording, what Trump did is illegal, period.

    So you think asking for evidence is a ridiculous thing to do?

    Are you trying for humor again?

    You do understand there's absolutely no evidence for this allegation right?

    Well, they still can be if the target of the informer is a mentally deficient man and forgets all the people who are informing on him...

    At this stage of the investigation?? Totally off-the-charts ridiculous...

    Once charges are filed, and this is one of the pieces used in the indictment (and I assume it will be), not so much...
