Page 2 - Stuff Secret News Today

Leak. and that already started last night when "the washington post" reported something about the substance of what this issue was about. but remember, you have an ig that wanted to produce the material and was stopped. you have all the underlying people in the intelligence community who know what this issue is. and you have some former officials, according to washington post, who already gave some information about it. and so i think the white house effort to keep all this stuff secret may be p...

Freed up and made available despite the presidents best efforts to keep that stuff secret. and now separate and apart from that in a totally separate sphere, the acting fbi director and the top counter russian intelligence officer who played a role in the russia investigation within two days of each other, they have both gone to court signaling that they are going to get the story told of what happened to them, of how the president came after them and why. its all happening all at once. all syst...

In a court ruling tonight, a federal district court judge in d.c. ordered that the fbi must show the public more of what was in comeys memos than we have been able to to see thus far. now, this ruling tonight is a win for cnn, which was the plaintiff in this case. they were suing the government to try to make them release more of this stuff. its a loss for the fbi, which was fighting to keep this stuff secret. that said, we dont know exactly whats going to be redacted from the memos and when, bu...

Eventually, even if it takes another presidency, two years from now, eventually all of this will come out? >> yeah, lawrence, and i think faster than that. i think its worth remembering that just four weeks ago we got donald trumps tax returns from this very same period, from 1958 to 1994, documents that had been secret for 20 years. what youre seeing in rapid succession is this information about trump in this period of time starting to come to light. the citadel of secrecy starting to unravel. ...

The heat is on trump. his fixer is in jail, michael cohen. the subpoenas are flying. the pressure is on. maybe people who were scared of donald trump are just less scared than before. in rapid order, we get ten years of tax returns, we get this prenuptial agreement. i think the pressure is building. i think he scares people less than he used to. i think hes got less of an apparatus around him to keep this stuff secret. i think the personal secrets are going to come out and i think the secrets he...

U.s./russia relations, even sanctions specifically. it would be a little awkward. questions would be raised, but it wouldnt be that weird. nevertheless, he lied about it publicly and he lied about it to the fbi, and that honestly makes no sense if they were innocent policy discussions about sanctions and he is the incoming adviser who is going to be working on that stuff. you wouldnt need to keep that stuff secret. you wouldnt even need to try to keep it secret, unless perhaps those sanctions di...
