1. What fucking SS agent has a laptop sitting around to be stolen?

2. Surely all the SS laptops would be encrypted with WIFI/GPS trackers?

3. Why the hell would you tell the public it has TT floor plans and a criminal inquiry on the President's political rival unless you WANTED to create a false flag conspiracy yourself?

 

[Maxim726X]

Elaborate con from Trump... Re-aligning the media narrative back to what really matters: emails.

Does his brilliance know no bounds?

 

[Tecnniqe]

cannot be traced or erased by officials remotely, leaving the information at risk of being discovered.


So into was T himself.

 

[sturmdogg]

Yea, but the password is probably "password".

12345.

 

[SuperBanana]

"And here's the pee pee tape"

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Did it get stolen outside of Trump Tower by any chance.

(Trump Codec call)
Trump: I did it.

Unknown: Good job Mr. President. We have what we need.

Trump: How is my weapon coming along?

Unknown: This isn't a secure line. We'll call you on your Mar-A-Lago bedroom lamp, trust us, very secure, the best.

 

[Kayhan]

Try this password: пароль

 

[Host Samurai]

Probably some drunk kid that was at the St Patty's Day Parade on 5th Avenue.

 

[Xando]

"Stolen" as in sent to Russia?

 

[madstarr12]

Lol, emails again? Lol, anything to take attention away from his nonsense.

 

[finalflame]

Can't be remotely wiped? Lmao. When the fucking federal government has less security than the silicon valley tech company I work for.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

this is hil-arious

 

[Ray Wonder]

This shit seems so fucking fake to me

 

[Slime]

Tinfoil hat time: it also has the pee pee tape, and this is a convoluted way of leaking it to the public before the Monday hearings.

Spoiler

I wish.

3. Why the hell would you tell the public it has TT floor plans and a criminal inquiry on the President's political rival unless you WANTED to create a false flag conspiracy yourself?

If anything were to happen at Trump Tower this would be my first thought.

 

[BasicMath]

I wonder if it was one of Debbie Wasserman Schultz's friends.

Actually, where those guys put in jail yet or just kicked out of congress? Its been a while since I last heard of them. Last I remember I think good ol' DWS picked a couple of them up as Tech consultants for a few Million.

 

[AndyD]

Exactly what I thought..

Leak incoming and this is pre-emptive damage control?

Or someone wants evidence destroyed, and this is how it "survives".

 

[Surfinn]

I'm thinking the former, but who knows. Very weird.

 

[Somnid]

Threat to national security? Jesus these people think highly of themselves. I'm not worried about shit. I hope it's embarrassing and makes it hard for them to sleep at night.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Yea, but the password is probably "password".

password is Chief Bigly

 

[MMarston]

Diamond Joe strikes again.

Theory: The secret service is tired of protecting Trump at a building woefully unacceptable to protect (Trump Tower). It's a huge pain in the ass, and very expensive to NY.

By leaking plans, they can make the case that Trump is only safe at the White House, which is what they want anyway.

 

[NullPointer]

Updated the OP with more info from CNN. It's weird how they are saying what's on the laptop; why would they tell the media this? Why not just say that it contained sensitive info?

So when Wikileaks releases it they'll have the proper backstory in place.

 

[Akuun]

The officials said the laptop, which was highly encrypted and contained floor plans and evacuation protocol for Trump Tower, cannot be traced or erased by officials remotely,

You'd think this very common function that is even available on smartphones these days would be available on something like a highly sensitive government laptop.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Sounds like a conspiracy for funding huge renovations to Trump Tower tbh

 

[Lorcain]

lol the Secret Service has nothing to do with the HC email investigation, that's the DoJ and FBI.

I would hate to be that SS agent if the laptop really did have emergency evac plans for Trump Tower. That's a major fuck up.

 

[Xe4]

You'd think this very common function that is even available on smartphones these days would be available on something like a highly sensitive government laptop.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't connected to the internet at all, for safety measures. You can't erase information remotely unless you have a signal.

 

[Luschient]

 

[robotrock]

I'ma fix wolves

 

[RPGCrazied]

We ever going to stop winning? Maybe someone will leak whats on it and finally end Trump. One can hope.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I'd love "Encrypted" to mean a single windows login screen

 

[Angry Grimace]

At this rate I expect to find out Trump managed to leave the nuclear football on the green of the 14th hole at Mar-a-Lago.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Obama. It was Obama.

Obama, I knew it was him.

Even when it was the russians.

I knew it was him

 

[CD'S BAR]

It's his wife who won't stay at the Whitehouse because their son is still at school in New York or something.

 

[Jag]

If you park a car in Brooklyn, it's going to get broken into. Not even a question of if, but when.

When I lived in Cobble Hill, I borrowed my GFs car and left it on my street for 5 minutes to run into my apartment. The radio was gone by the time I got back to it. The cops laughed when I went to report it.

The SS has had a history of questionable behavior. I remember they were subject of a number of scandals and breakdown of security under the Obama administration. Seems a bunch of fucks keep getting into senior positions within the organization.

 

[Extollere]

Our government is a fucking mess.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

1 job

Watch-

--Rachel Maddow will get ahold of it.

--She'll Tweet: HUGE TRUMP LAPTOP REVELATIONS! (SERIOUSLY)

--World gets hyped about Trump finally being exposed.

--Live on her show, Rachel boots up the laptop and they all find out it has AOL emails with Hillary sending the Iranian government Classified information on Benghazi.

--The world implodes.

--Trump makes sinister laugh.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

This'll be an excuse for Trump to dump the Secret Service and use his own Praetorian Guard.

Hillary has a trail for miiillessss

I swear man every day there's something else. This is a crazy time to say the least. Bunker down!

 

[CHC]

Awesome, love a good shakeup.

 

[Lorcain]

The beginning of the corporate security state. We're in the dystopian future.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

The laptop was probably left at a Starbucks somewhere.

 

[____]

Any reason why this is news? I mean, not saying why is it news, I'm asking why would they release this info?

If something that secret were lost, I'd keep it a secret until we tracked it down. It seems like making that info public will only let the person that has it know to either grab the info and destroy quickly, or hide forever.

Maybe I'm not thinking this through?
