A forthcoming book by an ex-Trump administration aide describes an episode in which officials worried that then-President Donald Trump was cavalier in his handling of classified information while talking to reporters, according to a copy obtained by NBC News.
Miles Taylor, who was a top aide to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, writes about the 2018 episode in a book set to be published this month. As a sitting president at the time, Trump had broad powers to declassify information. Yet the incident Taylor describes suggests that his aides still believed he needed to show more care toward state secrets — an issue that landed him in legal peril after he left office and took sensitive records with him.
Taylor is a prominent critic of Trump. He authored an anonymous op-ed while working at the Department of Homeland Security, in which he said that many senior administration officials were trying to limit Trump’s impulses and frustrate his agenda.

There is so much 'nothing' that gets marked classified and then people that have no clue in OPSEC get excited. Knowing our medical assets say in Syria right now is more of a classified material than probably most of what Trump has or had.

As we have seen, standard equipment for Democrats is double standard transmission which means that what happens to them doesn't happen to Republicans equally.

President brokeback Biden tells our enemies that were really low on artillery ammunition. If president Trump would have been the same, you know for sure there would be articles of impeachment written up quickly by zombie Angry Democrats. Notice the media says nothing about Senator Biden having classified documents in his possession for decades. I mean president formally vice president and formally Senator should be going to jail for having classified information for decades. In his garage, at his Pennsylvania and Delaware locations. Notice that a special counsel wasn't called they just wanted his own personal attorneys to go over the classified documents which is against protocol. Notice how they neatly put all of President Trump's supposed classified information on the ground but yet there's no problem when it's next to President Biden's Corvette. Now we're finding out that through whistleblowers that the raid to Hunter Biden's house was disallowed. I'm sure they would have turned up more of Biden's classified information as vice president there. I know I'm speculating but the worst case scenario has happened under President Biden and his crackhead son who pissed hot on his urinalysis but didn't get a dishonorable discharge. I used to do those officer separation boards at Hunter bike and got off easy with the military, now he's getting off easy with his millions of taxes and he is not registered as a foreign agent Norris his father but nothing's happening over that. But they're all focusing on president Trump. Notice how many Republicans get prosecuted and spend time in jail for being unregistered foreign agents or for having classified information but when Democrats who were Senators at one time haven't found them there libraries, nothing happens! So we can say that the Main Street media, the FBI and the Deep State operatives working for the Democrats are a threat to democracy. The FBI had the hunter Biden laptop but told social media to say it was Russian disinformation even though the FBI had the laptop the whole time. President biden, Hunter Biden and the science of stupid. Mr Magoo and the White House yet nobody says anything about crackhead Hunter hanging out with his dad probably because they're scared crapless now that Congressman c o m e y now has Financial transactions from the treasury and their tracking on the money that was put through the 17 shell companies to the Biden family including Hunter Biden and his father.

We all know Joe Biden should never have been placed in a position of responsibility. He's never accomplished anything in his life other that collect plenty of money from Russia, China, and many other places.

SFC (Join to see) the Day of Reckoning is coming. Even if president Trump doesn't become president another Republican does take the place of Biden, and an investigation will ensue because Democrats have started the presidents of going after political people. Self-inflicted wounds by Democrat school now claim they have a sore Papa and that if they are being vindictive when they were zombie angry mad because crooked Hillary didn't win, the Supreme Court actually sided with Republicans and the country that the executive branch can't make laws by itself and you have Angry Joy Reed and the weirdo skinhead black lady saying that we're now a right wing dictatorship in the making which is a bunch of Bologna because thanks to Elon Musk exposing Democrat initiative to try to censor Republican or speech that was against their liking.

Judge refuses hold on limit to Biden administration contact with social media
The judge's order came from a lawsuit filed by Republican attorneys general claiming the Biden administration censored free speech by pressuring companies to remove what it deemed misinformation on COVID-19.
