Donald Trump took “British naval secrets” to Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House, the former UK spy Christopher Steele says in a new book.
“I was reliably informed by impeccable sources that among the classified documents which Trump, apparently unauthorizedly, took with him to Mar-a-Lago at the end of his presidency were British naval secrets, some of the most sensitive ones in our governmental system,” Steele writes.
“It remains unclear to me, at least, why Trump would have wanted to retain such documents and what eventually happened to them.”
In a statement sent to the Guardian after this story was published on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defence said of Steele’s comments about naval secrets taken to Mar-a-Lago: “These claims are untrue.”
Is it unclear?
The Donald Trump that has a huge debt to Russia?
The Russia that might be interested in sensitive information about the royal navy?
The royal navy that provides the most immediate nuclear deterrent to Russia?
Right? Turns out all that Russia Russia Russia shit wasn’t me just smoking too much pot. Who knew?
Looks Like We Made It
So, we trick the Don into visiting the UK and then y’all arrest him under the Official Secrets Act? Do you think you could maybe throw him in the Tower of London? Quick, while he’s still just a citizen so it doesn’t count as an International Incident?
(Sorry, I just get so fed up with the spinelessness of our legal system with regard to this traitor.)
He’s supposed to be opening another golf resort so maybe he’ll come for the grand opening and we can nab him then.

Is he even trying with the grease makeup anymore? It looks like he put it on while skateboarding off a cliff.
How long could you bare to be in the smell he reportedly emits. The amount of time the staffer spent putting that on was the same as how long they could hold their breath.
iirc he doesn’t “let” anyone else do it. For, yknow, reasons.
At least they weren’t left at a bus stop this time.
As a guy who loves a good story, maybe add Trumpet to the no fly list to or from UK? In fact I would put him on the interpol arrest list. That would let him feel consequences.
I dunno… Supposedly British naval tradition is “monstrous! Nothing but rum, sodomy, prayer, and the lash!”* and Trump is a teetotaler who would never pray to anything but a flattering AI rendering of himself…
*to use the longer version of the fake Churchill quote
Isn’t this the Steele Dossier guy? I thought he was discredited, although I admit I don’t know as much about that whole situation as I probably should.
The dossier was raw intel compiled as opposition research that was leaked. It was never intended to be 100% correct, instead it was supposed to be a starting point for further research.
After the leak it was mischaracterized as a finished product and so inaccuracies were used to smear it.
Worth mentioning that anyone aware enough to understand why smearing the Steele Dossier was important was also aware of everything you said. In other words, anyone repeating the lie knew they were lying. That’s not always the case.
No it was the opposite. Information laid out in his dossier continues to prove true over time as more details are released to the public. Not sure that anything has been shown to be false.
Most criticism you find is heavy on colorful language like “'fake news” and “common sense” but lacks any disproving evidence.
Not everything has been proven to be true, but nothing has been proven to be false.
I thought the pee tape had been debunked but looking over Wikipedia I see that’s not the case and I’m misremembering.
A little extra rough that the naval defence guy states the claims are untrue
If you tell your secrets to the big dummie in the room, you should expect it to no longer be a secret
The thing is, Trump is not USA. Alliances are made with the USA, long before Trump. He abused his power.
There was no way of knowing that USA would vote for a president like him.
Unless you mean that USA is the dummy
When a country elects a fascist, the response of its former allies should be to issue sanctions and cut ties
International politics are slower than a presidency term
