Papers with U.S. State Department markings, found Friday morning in the business center of an Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed and potentially sensitive details about the Aug. 15 meetings between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin in Anchorage.
Eight pages, that appear to have been produced by U.S. staff and left behind accidentally, shared precise locations and meeting times of the summit and phone numbers of U.S. government employees
Loved this bit:
“On Saturday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly dismissed the papers as a “multi-page lunch menu” and suggested leaving the information on a public printer was not a security breach.”
Followed by:
“Pages 2 through 5 of the documents listed the names and phone numbers of three U.S. staff members”
“So if we started calling these three people for comment, that’s totally cool with you?”
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.”
What a worthless traitor. When can we start saying the things we can’t say?
“American Bald Eagle Desk Statue.”
Trump does love his desk eagles.
Is that the picture of him and his best buddy Epstein back there?
Imagine the howling from every Republican in congress if this had happened during a Democratic presidency.
“Imagine how much worse this would have gone if we had a democrat president.”

Uhh… don’t a lot of modern printers have onboard storage where they keep previously printed documents? If so you could probably get a lot more from that printer. Or am I thinking of copiers?
“Reprint job”.
Both
Here’s a conspiracy theory. They were left there by Russians, not Americans.
It could also just be the reporters trying to protect their sources. Wasn’t left by anyone that’s just what the article says.
Oh yeah this kind of clumsy incompetence is not something this administration is capable of. Ffs.
That or they are such traitors that they were given to the Russians. Or so incompetent they were stolen by the Russians. No matter though, when the best case scenario is mere incompetence, the outlook is very grim indeed.
That pronounciation guide though…
PUTIN
POO-tihn
POO
We are currently clear on OPSEC.

Something something only the best people?
Nah, is just that hegseth likes to Share Intel with the world. Such a good guy
*hic*
They were meant to hire the best and deport the worst, they must have got their lists mixed up
I didn’t think anyone actually used those business centers.
Well better that than Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
You lug your own printer around on trips?
He travels in a hotel with wings. I’d be astounded if there’s not a printer onboard air force one.
As if he’d ever use computer. That’s scut work for proles.
Exactly, so they’ll need a printer so they can hand him physical copies of new memos/documents while in-flight.
You don’t?
You dont have a fax machine?
You use a printer?
What do you use, quill and ink?
How often are you printing things? I don’t even own a printer. I spend maybe $0.50 a year printing things at the library.
Often enough that having a laser printer at home is vastly more convenient than having to make a special trip to the tree pulp store every time I want a physical copy of a document.
Tax forms, manuals & documentation, tickets & passes, shipping labels, markable documents, patterns …
I’ve never owned a printer, but have always had a job where I could print personal stuff. Highly recommend. My current job, I have a personal laser printer and it’s awesome. I use it to print letters, notes for doctor’s visits, and craft patterns.
and there’s no way I’d trust my phone enough to not print travel tickets. Paper backups ftw.
A personal work printer is the dream! I used to print anything that required a large volume of paper on work printers, but now that I rarely visit the office any more, I just blast everything through my nearing-vintage Brother laser (that replaced the HP laser printer from the '90s).
Tax forms
Those are digital
manuals & documentation
Also digital
tickets & passes
Also digital
shipping labels, markable documents, patterns
These are the couple times a year thing that I print. Well, not patterns. Even “markable documents” I usually do digitally with a stylus. How often are you needing to do these things at a hotel?
Physical backups are not digital. Also, worksheets are easier done with pencil.
Paper manuals are easier to flip through, dog-ear, and move around.
Paper copies of tickets don’t need batteries or wireless service.
The last few times I recall that I needed to print things at a hotel, they involved marriage license forms, credit reports and checklists. Most other times I’m visiting a facility that has a printer should I need anything printed.
Oh, I’ve also had to print out plenty of hardcopy documents for mailing to various government services over the years, including the IRS and SSA.
