More reports from the information security administration
Don’t worry, we can be sure that Donald Trump’s tacky golf club has only the most airtight security protocols:
Some of the classified documents recovered by the FBI from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club included highly sensitive intelligence regarding Iran and China, according to people familiar with the matter. If shared with others, the people said, such information could expose intelligence-gathering methods that the United States wants to keep hidden from the world.
At least one of the documents seized by the FBI describes Iran’s missile program, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Other documents described highly sensitive intelligence work aimed at China, they said.
Unauthorized disclosures of specific information in the documents would pose multiple risks, experts say. People aiding U.S. intelligence efforts could be endangered, and collection methods could be compromised. In addition, other countries or U.S. adversaries could retaliate against the United States for actions it has taken in secret.
Donald Trump became president because the media decided that his opponent’s use of a private email server was the most important issue facing the country in 2016. And — get this — it was one of the few presumed targets of Russian intelligence that wasn’t hacked [and then leaked at strategic times to help Trump’s campaign]! True story.
