Quote:
President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.

The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.


WOW, just wow.

[irony]This is just the deep state trying to stop Trump from MAGA. Fake news! How is this evidence of impropriety?[/irony]

ETA: I hesitate to call anyone dangerously incompetent, but this guy... He gives reality TV stars a bad name.

unnamed "officials" say, unnamed sources, no specifics, not very credible.

These people have no credibility, there is no reason to believe their delusional wishful thinking after crying wolf so many times in their nonstop anti-Trump propaganda.

The media was saying just a couple months ago that Trump can unilaterally declassify information on national security at his whim so if that's true then this would in his authority to do. Of course the media also hated James Comey before attempting to turn him into a martyr to further their own narratives, they have no shame and they are FAKE NEWS! :wink:

Maybe the US should stop supporting terrorist groups as was policy under Obama and other previous administrations. There's literally nothing wrong with working with Russia to defeat ISIS.

In short, proof?

Reporters live and die by their reputations, as do sources. Who could have known about this in order to look like a credible source? Someone at the WH, or someone at one of the intelligence agencies, or someone on the Russian team. Also, no editor would run such a story without finding independent confirmation, unless they absolutely trust the reporter to verify everything themselves with two independent sources. The best investigative journalists do this.

Intel people have the biggest axe to grind, but they also have the strictest supervision. I'd suspect people at the WH, who have become disillusioned quickly after being brought into an unprecedented disaster in the making. However, the Russians could simply have changed course and decided to pump and dump their former friend, DJT, on the same basis.

The presidency is going down, and the only question remaining is how much of the country they will take with them.

Stop dreaming, Democrats lost the election and you have to learn to deal with it. These people are trying to overthrow the lawful government of this country but it's not going to happen

I can't believe some people fall for obvious nonsense like this and so eagerly gobble it up. It's kinda scary. They shouldn't be allowed to vote lol.
