Maddow mentioned, “It’s loopy, proper? I imply for those who had been inventing, like cartoon degree you probably did it flawed allegations for any individual mishandling labeled data you’d dream this up as a hypothetical to show regulation college students proper? Think about there was a tape wherein the accused mentioned, now I’m not alleged to be displaying this to you. It’s actually secret however look. Right here it’s. I imply, it’s only a prosecutor’s dream to have one thing like this on tape. However all we may see within the indictment was prosecutor’s allegation that this tape existed and that on this tape trump mentioned these issues. You recognize, as an allegation it’s damning. The particular counsel is alleging Trump improperly held on to labeled data, right here allegedly was this description of audio proof of trump showing to confess he was in possession of secret materials. That it’s not declassified. It’s labeled materials and he’s nonetheless displaying it to people who find themselves completely not cleared to see it at this assembly at his golf course.”
The recklessness and the absurdity of a former president not solely overtly breaking the regulation, but in addition displaying labeled paperwork to a reporter whereas he knew he was being recorded, as he admits that the fabric is assessed and he can’t declassify it.
Trump knew that the fabric was labeled, however he apparently needed to appear to be an enormous shot and impress the individuals within the room.
Rachel Maddow’s laughter was not that of pleasure however of horror and astonishment at how a lot jeopardy Trump put the nation in.
