'A spy's dream': Former FBI deputy director calls Trump's document stash 'unmitigated recklessness'
June 09, 2023
Former President Donald Trump's pattern of behavior with highly classified military secrets was a horrific danger to national security and to people who work in defense — and a massive boon to anyone who would seek to harm either, said former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on CNN Friday.
He was speaking shortly after special counsel Jack Smith publicly announced a 37-count indictment against the former president, making a statement to similar effect.
"You've not had the greatest history with Donald Trump, but you have an incredible history looking at indictments and being a part of major investigations," said anchor Jake Tapper. "Have you ever seen an indictment quite like this?"
"This is extraordinary," said McCabe. "I've worked on and around many mishandling cases, Espionage Act cases. I've never seen an indictment with this level of granularity, detail, the photographs, just to mention those photographs, to drive home this point of what you were just referring to, Jake, that the unmitigated recklessness of how our most sensitive information was handled. It's off the charts. Stratospheric."
"And this is not the presidential — this is not like George W. Bush's home, guarded by Secret Service agents," cut in Tapper. "This is a hotel!"
"It's a public entity that has a long history of intruders, people with suspicious backgrounds, being taken into custody and investigated for the activities they engaged there," said McCabe. "So it's absolutely a spy's dream."

Donald Trump on Friday said federal authorities “staged” photos shared by the Justice Department in its indictment that show classified documents at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The former president said on his Truth Social platform that the way the boxes of classified documents were found suggests the FBI set him up.
Trump made the allegation shortly after Jack Smith announced the unsealing of a 37-count indictment alleging Donald Trump mishandled classified documents in violation of the Espionage Act.
“Strange!” Trump said.
“Everything about the boxes was so neat, orderly, and clean. Did the FBI tip over the one box the way they ‘staged’ the papers on the floor during the raid of Mar-a-Lago, only to apologize after getting caught?”
Trump was hit by 37 counts including willful retention of national defense information and single counts of false statements and representations, conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document, concealing a document in a federal investigation and a scheme to conceal. They come with sentences of up to 20 years in prison.
Trump in an earlier post suggests that photos showing documents released by the Justice Department exonerate him.
“The Box on the floor which was opened (who opened it?) clearly shows there was no ‘documents,’ but rather newspapers, personal pictures, etc. WITCH HUNT!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website.
