... They used a hotels printer to print sensitive documents???
Brother in Christ. Yes, good, network printers are a bastion of security.
Little old me could have legitimately intercepted that if they printed it while connected to a hotel wifi.

Don't copiers have hdds that copy everything scans and printed into them?
Many do have internal memory. Agencies that need to copy sensitive documents will have them removed. If that is not possible, copyer goes on a list when it is procured so that when it is sold or trashed someone has to go take the drive out and shred it.

TomMaszThe level of ineptitude is almost as great as the level of corruption.
Look, I'm frankly shocked that the ONLY thing of real sensitive value left there was names and numbers of members there.
This is the group that accidentally brought a rando in on a secret channel for a military strike, at this point I would have been less shocked if the printer had a stack of F-35 blueprints.
There's gotta be someone working at that hotel that could off Putin, how hard could it be?
Say there were one person willing, and able to do it. Would it have been beneficial for the state of the world? This is a genuine question
Like, yes, obviously it likely would have been beneficial for Ukraine and possibly even the Russian people (in the long run), but it would also break the promise of diplomatic safety, and would that lead to better outcomes for the world long term?

𝕱𝖎𝖗𝖊𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍Here's my prediction of what will happen
- This will slowly (or rapidly) make its waves through the papers until it's being brought up and sensationalized by Instagram and TikTok influencers. Some girl will go viral talking about it overlayed over a shitty screenshot of the article.
- The comments will be full of people continuing to shout about Epstein and Gaza in the comments (not that I necessarily disagree), mixed in with right wing bots calling it a lunch menu (private accounts with thousands of followers, generic pictures, and Jesus captions)
- Trump will boast about how we have THE BESTEST national security
- The federal government will devote all their energy into finding out who this guest is, down to subpoenas and/or extortion, assuming they don't immediately capitulate
- By this point half the population will have forgotten about it, but Trump won't be happy until everyone is silent. He will do something big to distract from this + the Epstein files, like sending the military into Mexico
- Rinse and repeat
We can just stop pretending we hold our government leaders and law enforcement to any standard of professionalism at all.
DiplomjodlerYou don't just not leave things at printers. You never use a printer that's not properly secured for the level of documents you're printing. Like, ever.
Em AdespotonYou’re completely correct.
However, I’m not a Trump appointee. They appear to have their own ways of doing things.
HumaniusOops! We accidentally added Putin himself to our top secret summit Signal group-chat
Yes, although it was stuff like menus and seating arrangements, so the regulations around classified things wouldn't apply.
You save that for your civilian Signal account. (/s but it happened)
Welcome to the new US government of true DEI hires.
pelespiritThe first page in the printed packet disclosed the sequence of meetings for August 15, including the specific names of the rooms inside the base in Anchorage where they would take place. It also revealed that Trump intended to give Putin a ceremonial present.
"POTUS to President Putin," the document states, "American Bald Eagle Desk Statue."
Pages 2 through 5 listed the names and phone numbers of three U.S. staff members as well as the names of 13 U.S. and Russian state leaders. The list provided phonetic pronouncers for all the Russian men expected at the summit, including "Mr. President POO-tihn."
Pages 6 and 7 in the packet described how lunch at the summit would be served, and for whom. A menu included in the documents indicated that the luncheon was to be held "in honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin."
Tier 1 Build-A-Bear 🧸But Hillary's emails and Obama's tan suit!
ganksySo, was the 'bald eagle statue' gift properly laced with listening devices? :-p
Definitely got tossed out the window on takeoff
I like to think this was some fed up staffer pulling some quiet sabotage, but maybe that's wishful thinking...
He who drinks with the enemy while his ally bleeds is no hero but a fool. You grant him honor while he seeks to burn your and your ally’s home. No word of peace holds meaning while his sword is still raised against those who stand with you.
Install troops in Ukraine and show Putin already god damn it. That makes putin mad? Good that will make EU more unified. And its not like putin is gonna drop nuclear bombs or attack the west cause thats suicide. So bring him to his knees.
Trump and his band of incompetent amateurs....
Trump probably handed out national secrets as party favors to Putin.
I wonder how many bugs POO-tihns spooks planted while this big diplomatic circlejerk went down.
