I get the joke, and the devil’s advocate posture. But:I mean how do we know the docs were about a country that DOES have nuclear capability? What if it just says “Montenegro does not, so far as we have been able to determine, have nuclear capability”. That wouldn’t be so bad.

Change the facts, change the outcome.NEWWWS -- Details about nuclear capabilities of a foreign government were in records seized at trump's Mar-a-Lago in early August. As well as details of US programs so secret that seniormost natsec officials didn't know they existed.

Presuming this bears out, it means Trump’s position is that he declassified the ultra-sensitive nuclear secrets of a foreign nation. https://t.co/48pcQfoPYU

Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. https://t.co/HpRkOWH1eY

However, such documents were stored at Mar-a-Lago, with uncertain security, more than 18 months after Trump left the White House. https://t.co/HpRkOWH1eY

The problem extends quite a bit beyond our secrets, too.The liberals who said Trump's stolen documents included our nuclear secrets really have egg on their face now that it turns out it was only other countries' nuclear secrets.

Won’t somebody think of the reputational harm to the ex-President?If the documents relate to an enemy, then that country could now know the sources and methods we used to obtain the info on their nuclear capabilities. If the docs relate to an ally, then some friends we are. Joining @cnn in 10 pm. 1/2 https://t.co/F7JZQ7PzvS
