redacted. the next one, redacted. the next one, oh arsenio and. or con? i don t know what that means. then and no f o r in. no foreign. no other country is supposed to be able to see that. i don t know what or con means. maybe andrew does or jen, maybe you know from your time in the white house. the fact that the classification markings on that are so high, we are not allowed to know what the marking is. just tells you that this was not tchotchkes. this really wasn t stuff that he was taking because he want to he thought he looked cute in that picture. this is stuff where the highest levels of classification are brought to bear on stuff that has very obvious international sensitivity. the disclosure of these documents, or the handling of these documents in an inappropriate way already harms our national security by telling our allies around the world, that we can t be trusted to manage this stuff. particularly if someone likes trump gets away with us. there is so much more in the i
think one of the shocking things that has occurred to me, that i didn t pick up on when i was first reading the indictment. it was until i heard brandon ran graphic, and experienced national security prosecutor talking about this in our coverage earlier, is that the classified markings on all of these documents, really really eye-opening when you start to look at them. for example, that document that jen was just talking about. it s on page 29 of the indictment. it s number five out of the 31 documents. it is described as document dated to 2020, concerning nuclear capabilities of a foreign country. right? that s like, it s eye-popping. andrew is totally right. that s exactly the sort of thing that shouldn t be, you know, left in a bathroom. that seems like a really important thing. but then look at the markings on it. the classified markings are top secret, and then the next one, redacted. the next one, redacted. the next one, oh arsenio and. or con? i don t know what that means. then
more classified material from trump this state. including, during a search of mar-a-lago three weeks ago. some of those documents include information about some of the country s most closely guarded secrets. of those original 184 classified documents, 25 were marked top secret. 92 were marked secret. 67 confidential. they also bore various other classifications, including or con. short for originator control. we knew that the agency that issued the report had to approve specifically who was allowed to see it. others were flag is information that cannot be shared with foreign enemies. most notably there were documents in mar-a-lago notched h c asked which stands for human intelligence control systems. that is highly sensitive information gathered by human sources. working for the u.s. government in foreign countries. hcs documents could also contain information, including
these markings. first of all, i ll run through the top three. i mean, or con, that is document so sensitive that the originator of this document, the agency, actually has to give permission to get it released. then you have hcs. this is particularly alarming for a lot of people knowing that this was at mar-a-lago in an unsecured area. this pertains to human intelligence, information from human sources that if anything gets out and is known, they could be in danger, at risk. noform, this is material that can t even be shared with foreign entities without permission, even allies. so it just shows you how highly sensitive these documents were that were in these boxes. not only that, but the archives talked when they referred this to doj just about how mismanaged these documents were. these were 15 boxes not only filled with classified information, but all sorts of other things like records and
say on the national security front? sure, two things really jumped out at me. the first thing was obviously the classifications. they did not redact that. the classification levels of the documents that were taken. i was very surprised to see just how high these classifications were. and just how detailed they were. you ve got information from the human to control systems, which are our sources and assets overseas. you have signals intelligence, that is highly classified information. or con, which is originator controlled, which means that you decide how that information is distributed. and the second piece i saw in that it was just how purposeful trump was in not handing over the documents. that s concerning to me as well. i have to tell you, i have to think about you, given you and your experience of the past, that must have sent chills down your spine. hugo, what did this
