"Iran and the ‘Highly Confidential’ Document, Eugene Kiely

Posted on June 20, 2023 | Updated on June 27, 2023

In an interview with Fox News, former President Donald Trump denied showing a classified plan of a U.S. attack on Iran when he met in July 2021 with four people who lacked security clearances — contrary to an audio transcript of Trump contained in the 37-count federal indictment against him.
Trump told Fox News anchor Bret Baier that he “didn’t have a document, per se,” and suggested that instead he showed his guests copies of newspaper and magazine articles. “Bret, there was no document,” Trump said in an interview that aired June 19.

The indictment says that Trump met on July 21, 2021, at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, with “a writer and a publisher in connection with a then-forthcoming book,” referring to former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ book, “The Chief’s Chief.” Two Trump staffers were also there. Six days before the meeting, Susan Glasser of the New Yorker published a story that detailed how Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was concerned Trump might attack Iran in the final days of his presidency.

At the meeting in New Jersey, Trump told his guests that Milley wanted to attack Iran and, in fact, presented him with an attack plan, the audio transcript shows.

“Look. This was him. They presented me this—this is off the record, but—they presented me this,” Trump said at the meeting. “This was him. This was the Defense Department and him.” The writer present at the meeting responded: “Wow.”

Then there's this: Could the traitor have sold his buddy Bibi out? Wouldn't shock me.

Donald Trump's Israel Intel Leak Under Scrutiny After Hamas Attack.

Donald Trump's sharing of alleged classified intelligence to Russian officials in the White House has come under scrutiny amid a large-scale attack by the Hamas Islamist military group against Israel.

In May 2017, the former president defended his actions after he was found to have discussed sensitive details about an alleged Islamic State (ISIS) plot with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office. Trump said he had an absolute right to do so. The intel was said to have been provided to the U.S. from Israel.

It was suggested at the time that the former president's handing over sensitive information from Israel could have damaged the relationship between the two countries. It also could have raised the possibility that the details could be passed from Russia to Iran, the Gulf nation that is a fierce adversary of Israel and has long supported Hamas.
On Saturday, Hamas, designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and the European Union, launched a large-scale attack against Israel, resulting in the deadliest day of violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict for decades. More than 700 people have been killed in Israel, and a further 400 in Gaza, since the incursion by Hamas, according to the Associated Press.

tRump's and $2 BILLION dollar Jared's buddies had the nerve to say this:
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran say Israel has only itself to blame for Hamas attacks

Best believe that if tRaitor tRump was doing some double-dealing and espionage, Smith KNOWS this which is why:

Former United States President Donald Trump shared classified information about US nuclear submarines with a billionaire Australian businessman shortly after he left office, in a meeting at his Florida private members club, Mar-a-Lago, US media have reported.

counter-productive. It would not shock me if evidence is found, though. That’s bad enough.
