That Mushroom Cloud You See Is Another Trump Media Narrative Exploding Before Your Eyes

Four days after the raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, The Washington Post ran interference for the Biden Administration’s politicized FBI and DOJ by disseminating a whopper in an obvious attempt to tamp down the outrage.
 
Not that they probably care, but the four reporters bylined on the story were punked. And Americans were deceived.
 
On August 12, the Post breathlessly reported that, even though it had never been done before, the tossing of Melania’s under-lovelies at Mar-a-Lago by 30 FBI agents must have been totally legit because according to “people familiar with the investigation,” “experts in classified information,” and “former senior intelligence officials,” Trump had nuclear documents.
 
Reporters Devlin Barrett, Josh Dawsey, Perry Stein, and Shane Harris reported explicitly that “classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought.”
 
Other media outlets picked up the story and quicker than you can say “51 experts claim Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation,” the “Trump-has-nuke-secrets” story became received wisdom. Trump was in possession of nuclear secrets! He had nuclear codes! reported Vanity Fair.
 
Trump must have been planning a launch from Mar-a-Lago, Mike Davis of the Article III Project ruefully joked on my The Adult in the Room Podcast. After going through a list of whoppers leaked to the media by Attorney General Merrick Garland, Davis noted that Garland “leaked out that he’d deliberated for weeks — for weeks — before he authorized this [search]. Okay, so, if Trump had these nuclear records — which is complete[ly] bogus because there’s no Q classification on the inventory of records they got back” — it wouldn’t make sense that he waited to act.
 
Q classifications denote classified nuclear materials from the Department of Energy. There were none listed on the inventory released to the media the day The Washington Post reported its story. And there were none in the Trump search documents nor in the affidavit released weeks later.
 
According to the Federation of American Scientist’s Project on Government Secrecy, the Q designation refers to the clearance level required to handle such sensitive materials about nuclear programs.

Q Sensitive allows access to Special Nuclear Material (SNM) category 1. An employee with a Q sensitive clearance could have access to nuclear weapons design, manufacture, or use data; disclosure could cause exceptionally grave damage to the nation.
 
Q Nonsensitive allow access to Special Nuclear Material (SNM) category 2. The higher the SNM category, the more readily the material could be converted to a nuclear explosive device. Categories 1 and 2 require special protection, such as armed guards.

As for the feared nuclear codes? They change frequently, and Trump would have had to mug Joe Biden to get them. But, hey, don’t let facts get in the way of a great story about crazy Trump with his finger on the button.
 
The timeline didn’t make sense for a Dr. Strangelove storyline, either. Davis continued on the podcast:

“Right, so Trump had nuclear secrets, like he broke into the nuclear football…stole the launch codes…the Biden Administration didn’t catch this for the 18-months that Trump was gone with these nuclear secrets, they didn’t change the codes, and somehow Trump was going to, like, trick the people into thinking it was Biden – because you have to have the Secretary of Defense verify any launch from the president. Trump’s going to launch from Mar-a-Lago…”

But what are a few rabbit trails to distract the media versus getting political cover for nine hours of rifling through Trump’s office, his safe, and Melania’s underwear looking for “nuclear secrets”?
 
…or January 6 “evidence” or Russian Collusion documents outing your agency as crooks?
 
…or planting spying devices? We’ve noticed a lot of the folks out there who hate Trump mock this avenue of inquiry. Remember when Trump said he was being bugged during the 2016 election? What a joker, wrote the media, rolling their eyes.
 
But Trump was spied on. And, forgive us, but the head of the FBI spoke of wearing a wire to get Trump on a 25th Amendment gaffe.

As President, Trump had the nuclear codes for 4 solid years.
If he had wanted to instigate a nuclear attack that would have been the time.
Instead he went all around the planet easing tensions!
He even had a few Muslim states working with Israel!
He had North Korea under control.
He had Russia calmed.
Even tho he spoke often about communist China’s propensity for violence, for expanding their territory (via the land and road belt program) for cheating in trade deals, he kept them from overtly threatening the USA.
What would cause him to make a 180′ and want to start a very hot war now?
NOTHING.
If anyone thinks a hot war is a good idea, it is the progressive Left.
Any excuse to cheat the election, no matter how many die, is their modus operendi.

I don’t know what it could possibly take to make leftists cautiously doubt what they are told by the left wing propaganda media. I would have bailed on “pee tapes”, but apparently they have to be named specifically themselves in a lie before they figure it out. They never tire of being lied to and made to look like a complete fool. All they want to do is hate Trump (soon to be converted to hate DeSantis) and are grateful for any pretense to do so, absent a real and actual reason.

There gose the Washington Compost the New York Slimes needs to get hit with the next one
