Kessler’s answer then veered down a path the Trump-friendly host perhaps did not expect – one that floated the idea of Russian operatives attempting to access the documents at Trump’s resort:
Given the level of classification that we’re talking about here for these documents – beyond top secret, beyond sensitive compartment – that could very well include the plans for counter-striking against Russia in the event of a nuclear attack.
That’s something that’s part of the football program, which I have written about, where the president chooses options from these documents on how to respond. He has to respond within 20 minutes to prevent annihilation of the United States. That’s one item that could be in these documents. Another is our penetrations by the CIA of foreign embassies, of foreign leaders like Putin, as well as recruitment of spies overseas.
So, we’re talking about incredibly valuable secrets that the Russians, of course, would have been after. The Russians would have been trying to penetrate Mar-a-Lago day and night and very possibly did recruit spies to obtain these documents.
