Trump brags about seeing ‘top secret’ video right after eligibility for classified briefings

Posted by | August 4, 2016 06:56 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


As soon as Donald Trump became eligible for classified briefings he began bragging about what he saw.

Trump on Wednesday described vivid details from a video he said he had watched earlier in the day of Iranian officials unloading cash from an airplane. The money was part of a payment, announced earlier this year, from the U.S. to Iran to settle a decades-old dispute over an incomplete weapons sale.

“I’ll never forget the scene this morning,” Trump told the crowd in Daytona Beach, Florida, of what he said he had watched. “Iran ― I don’t think you’ve heard this anywhere but here ― Iran provided all of that footage, the tape, of taking that money off that airplane.

“Over there, where that plane landed, top secret, they don’t have a lot of paparazzi, you know,” Trump said. “The paparazzi doesn’t do so well over there.” But “they have a perfect tape, obviously done by a government camera, and the tape is of the people taking the money off the plane. It’s a military tape. It’s a tape that was a perfect angle, nice and steady.”

No publicly available video matches what Trump described. This raises the possibility that Trump was either fabricating the contents of a non-existent video, or he was disclosing information to which he has newly been granted access.

    So either he’s telling another lie, or he’s disclosing classified information. In either case, it doesn’t sound like someone we want at president.

      In all fairness, he’s actually running for dictator and as such plays by a different set of rules.

    Is he talking about the article that appeared in the Guardian in 2007?

    How the US sent $12bn in cash to Iraq. And watched it vanish.

      Between his constant lying, confusing events, and just plain stupidity, it’s hard to tell. Hell, he might be thinking about a movie he once saw

      • Larry Schmitt August 4th, 2016 at 08:01

        Or in the case of the celebrating New Jersey Muslims, the movie was playing inside his head.

          His reality is similar to that of his supporters.

            For me it was centerfield for the Yankees.

        he may be a scum bag of the lowest order and a liar and just simply un encule, but he is not stupid – oups, he is also not a fkn genius.

        • Larry Schmitt August 4th, 2016 at 11:37

          May be? I don’t think there’s any doubt. He keeps piling on the proof every day.

    There must be a way for a legal outing of him as a candidate and then bring in the next lowest in eligibility which would be Cruz..OMG

    Yeah, it was immediately followed by a top secret video of Muslim Americans dancing in the streets all across the nation right after the Twin Towers came down.

    This is the second possible incident where Trump may have openly disclosed information given to him in an intelligence briefing, which is done with all final Presidential candidates, and should certainly scare everyone, especially those who are in charge of intelligence for the country.

    If he has indeed done this, perhaps there are federal laws or requirments that could curtail any further data given to him, and a strong public reprimand made..
    The danger that this bloviating monster presents to us and the world is real and horrific.

    Nobody with Trump’s motor mouth can be trusted with national secrets.

    Hillary, despite the howls from the Right Wingers, released no secrets in her emails.

    Just further evidence that Trump has the Yuuugest case of logorrhea ever…..not really a disease that we want our leader to have. He just can’t shut his mouth at all at any time.

    “Hey Putin, wanna hear something…” ~ Donald Trump

      Yes, and the Cons complain about Hillary’s e-mails? LOL

      • whatthe46 August 4th, 2016 at 14:17

        he’s on national t.v. doing this crap. and fox will say look over ——–> Hillary’s emails.

  9. Ned Nutley August 4th, 2016 at 14:12

    Amazing the people who still think he can win, with
    over half their own party not supporting him and
    95% of women and young people and anybody that’s
    not white, doesn’t seem like he has much of a chance,
    Fox news, Rush and all the others on rightwing hate
    radio have been stirring up hatred among the right
    and are directly to blame for the rise of Trump and it’s
    amusing to see the billionaire class GOP struggling
    to come to terms with the monster they’ve created,
    things are way worse for the Don than they were for
    Mitt and these rightwing trolls think he’s a shoe-in
    for a landslide win!

  11. CHOCOL8MILK August 4th, 2016 at 15:57

  12. StoneyCurtisll August 4th, 2016 at 17:37
