And cue the right wingers, Republicans (i.e. one-party state backers), supporters of oligarchies and/or autocracies plus others who believe it's OK to give Russia classified info, just as long as it's not given it to 'dems & libs'. Dems and libs favor a democratic republic, one based on the US Constitution, one based on a balance of power among the executive, legislative and judicial branches. In that regard they differ significantly from their political opposites.

Here's hoping the investigation into Trump's dealings with Russia (China, Kazakhstan, etc.) is freely and openly conducted.

I am sick of the liberal left media attacking Trump our first decent president in the US in decades with this ridiculous fake news story over Russia. Every president in history has worked to establish good relations in a rational manner with all major sane world powers. Russia is working to rebuild and is a valuable ally. the Fact of the matter is that Obama the previous president ruled the country using Executive orders that no one had the courage to challenge, Trump is trying to return to rational governance by actually BEING and Administrator, and to follow the needs of our time. The constant attacks are ridiculous is the attempt to make him out to be a fool and the Republicans as a negative force. I will hope for sanity to come, the liberal program of forced skewed social ideals failed because the people in the US do not want it..time for the media and the far left liberals to accept it and for all to work together for a decent future for all people.

had been provided by a U.S. partner through a highly sensitive intelligence-sharing arrangement.

Ok? If I replaced 'partner' with scooby doo, would it relay the absurdity of news sources lately? If these 'sources' can not be corroborated by anyone else, how in the world is an avid reader supposed to trust them?

@Cris:

Great post except it is completely incorrect. This is not the liberal left media with a ridiculous fake news story. It is responsible media reporting facts from sources that were in the meeting.

Yes, every president has worked to establish good relations with sane world powers, but none of had such an unhealthy crush on Russia, which is not a sane world power. Exposing a highly valued intelligence channel to a country diametrically opposed to the U.S. is not attempting to establish good relations, it is called being incompetent.

As for the people of the US not wanting the social ideals of the left, Clinton won 2.8 million more popular votes than Trump. Popular votes represent actual voters, which is to say that the people of the US do want the social ideals of the left. Unfortunately, fear mongering conservatives that are allergic to facts and logic do not want to accept this.

So can you prove that Trump intentionally gave the information to the Russians? You guys can't seem to get it through your heads. Could it be problematic, could be. Impeachable, no. Even if the facts are true and the president unintentionally gave out information.

just as long as it's not given it to 'dems & libs'. Dems and libs favor a democratic republic, one based on the US Constitution, one based on a balance of power among the executive, legislative and judicial branches. In that regard they differ significantly from their political opposites.

It has been and probably like everything, it'll blow over soon. So you guys can calm down.

If he gave it intentionally he can not be trusted to be in office. If he gave it unintentionally he's too stupid to be in office.

“At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly,” McMaster said in a statement.

Speaking to reporters later at the White House, McMaster added to his statement by saying: “I was in the room. It didn’t happen.

From someone who was ACTUALLY there!! Enough with the barrel scraping journalism. Its pathetic and quite frankly sad now.

Many people are saying he isn't going to be around after 2 years. What I'm hearing is that in the midterm elections the democrats are going to pound the republicans.  If that happens, we can see an impeachment process over the Russia debacle presided over by a democratic senate.   One good thing about Trump's presidency is that it has highlighted the often neglected midterm elections and how important they are in terms of presidential powers.  Whatever happens, US politics should be an interesting watch over the next few years.

16 ( +19 / -3 )

@Aly, I don't know that the mid-terms will do much of anything, but I agree with you that US politics will be an interesting watch over the next few years. What I think is that after two years in office Trump will start strong-arming things. Whether that's a positive or negative, we'll just have to wait and see. North of the 49th, I really don't give a sh*t what Americans do to hurt their country. Rome died an ignominious death and the US is on the same track.

Eh, when the media reports it as highly classified it doesn't mean a whole lot really. Who are they trying to fool.

@Swift_Justice

Russia, which is not a sane world power

A lot of people in the world would not agree with this statement, particularly when compare to the US foreign activity in the last fifteen years.

So, McMaster gave rather different account on what Trump said. Can the anonymous "officials" tell the public the exact words of Trump? Otherwise it is just another baseless claim. Facts, please.

-18 ( +1 / -19 )

Remember that time the Republicans figured Hillary shared top secret information, and went ballistic for years? Then remember that time their president shared top secret information, and they defended him and tried to pretend it's no big deal?

If he did these things, rip President Trump apart. Bring charges. Impeach (like happened to President Clinton) and let the Senate sit as the judges.

If he didn't do these things. Well, that is a completely different story.

Bring some proof. Recordings and let's nail him.

Trevor, I understand the sentiment, but it seems a bit naive. Everything that America does, good or bad, impacts the entire world. If they're pushing horrible trade policies like TPP, who doesn't suffer. If they start wars of choice against manufactured enemies, if the biggest economy in the world denies science, is the impact of climate change only felt over US airspace. Not to mention that when the water runs out in the US, do you honestly think a parched nuclear-armed bully is going to respect an imaginary line on a map?

crisgersan, bassfunk:

If Trump had represented the Democrats (and he's swung both ways), he would have been labelled a dirty commie traitor. I hope you're getting ready to learn Russian. That's going to be the second language of America soon. Past presidents must be rolling in their graves!!!!!!

@Askaze A lot of people in the world would not agree with this statement,

I'm being serious saying I've yet to have read someone who is not Russian or not ethnically Russian (e.g. living in one of the former SSR's) say anything positive about Russia. I've heard non-Russian right wingers laud Putin's tyrannical leadership style, but no one else besides Russians. However, I'm willing to listen and would appreciate links to non-Russian sources saying positive things about Russia as a world power.

particularly when compare to the US foreign activity in the last fifteen years.

On that we agree. The world would be much better off seeing both Russia and the US no longer invading sovereign nations and interfering in any way in those nation's political and economic systems.

'Can you honestly and conclusively prove that you are psychologically fit to become President of the United States?'

Imagine this question, say at a high level interview or a future presidential election debate in the future. This will be the electoral legacy of the Trump presidency

If he did these things, rip President Trump apart. Bring charges. Impeach (like happened to President Clinton) and let the Senate sit as the judges.

Personally I think that the triggers are already all but in place.

They really will need to rein in the stream of consciousness tweeting. Going on about 'tapes' regarding Comey without any administration committee sanction is akin to political suicide. Now this other stuff about disclosing secret info, in the White House, not to mention all the other stuff in the FBI investigation that apparently is not one of their priorities.

I feel sorry for Pence or whoever comes next. Imagine, say at a high level interview or a future presidential election debate in the future this question:

'Can you honestly and conclusively prove that you are psychologically fit to become President of the United States?'

Actually he didn't. He gave an account that had nothing to do with the WP story. Read it and listen to McMaster. What he says didn't happen wasn't even part of the story. While it may not be totally irrelevant, it does not address in any way the substance of the story.

"very, very troubling" if true.... Well, we are dealing with Chump... SO anything is possible.... But this story was put out by The Washington Post, which is notoroiously low on credibility. And Chump says one thing, and does another... So glad I don`t live there!

Watch those goalposts being moved at breakneck speed as Trump supporters try to claim that revealing classified information is no big deal after all.

How different from when the very same people were castigating Mrs Clinton for keeping "confidential" e-mails on her own server which others may have been able to access through hacking. Note that there is no proof that anyone did hack the server.

Let's take a look at some of Trump's own tweets on the Clinton e-mails and the leaking of intelligence in general:

1) The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by "intelligence" like candy. Very un-American!

2) Leaking, and even illegal classified leaking, has been a big problem in Washington for years. Failing @nytimes (and others) must apologize!

3) 150 Clinton E-mails still contain classified information. More sensitive when she was Sec.of State. This is a very big deal.

4) Lyin' Hillary Clinton told the FBI that she did not know the "C" markings on documents stood for CLASSIFIED. How can this be happening?

5) On top of the disrespect shown by Russia, don’t forget they still have Snowden, who has given them (& everyone) massive US secrets.

There are many more along the same lines. I look forward to reading the hypocritical comments of supporters of the Doofus-in-chief. Please be sure to explain clearly why it is fine for Trump to give away intelligence on a whim, but a heinous crime when somebody else leaves intelligence in a place where it may possibly be accessed by others.

15 ( +16 / -1 )

After Trump disclosed the information, which one of the officials described as spontaneous

This here is the problem. He just can't control himself when there is an opportunity to boast or brown nose someone else, in this case his KGB handlers. Although it doesn't appear that Trump's top secret traitor leak was that bad this time round, you can guarantee that it will get worse and he will offer up more and more to our enemies and likely sell out an ally at some point too

9 ( +11 / -2 )

stormcrow, had the same impression. Sigh: Russia and Trump, again. This incident I'm inclined to ascribe to Trump's infinite stupidity - not that that makes it any less disturbing. Remember when Obama's transition team was reluctant to share classified info with Trump's for precisely this reason? No longer an option.

Likely, Trump just wanted to impress by showing off his yuuuge knowledge of the fabulous intelligence he has access too. Does anyone else find Trump's rationale for firing Comey - "showboating and grandstanding" - nauseatingly ironic?

16 ( +17 / -1 )

Ha ha, just have to laugh at all the Trumpites on here, doing verbal gymnastics, to support their 'Cretin-in-chief' .

I suppose this is the key point;

"For most anyone in government discussing such matters with an adversary would be illegal. As president, Trump has broad authority to declassify government secrets, making it unlikely that his disclosures broke the law"

I dont like Chump. But I also dont like fake news.

-3 ( +2 / -5 )

THE PROBLEM IS, is that WP/MSM DON'T have to prove he did it, making it up most of the time, they make Trump prove that he didn't do it while the story lingers on for months. When the story is then disproven with facts, they don't retract or report on it so the Left keeps repeating it as fact. If you then tell them it's been disproven, they counter with, "You watch to much Faux News."

REMEMBER HARRY REID saying Romney didn't pay taxes, was proven false, then Harry didn't care that he promoted a lie saying, "WE WON DIDN'T WE!"

DON'T THEY REALIZE these Russian/Trump attacks are eventually going to BITE HILLARY, D's, and the MSM, in the arse? Have you heard her, or Bill, attacking Trump on Russia? OH, and is Gitmo still open and has Trump traded any terrorists, who are back on the battlefield, directly or indirectly, KILLING AMERICANS, FOR A DESERTER? When's Bergdahl's trial so BO can go on another vacation... hiding?

I HAVE ZERO suspicions on Trump's 100% loyalty/Patriotism to the United States while I have endless suspicions on Obama's, his Circle of Communists, Hillary's, MSM, and the entire Democrat Party, loyalty to the United States!

If Trump sells a uranium mine to the Russians, then I will go ballistic.

Talking classified information with an advisary is illegal.

The president is allowed to declassify information if he thinks it's pertinent to a certain situation

Besides, discussing such information with Russia while excluding the media, and also keeping such information from traditional allies, is more than alarming. Trump is a light switch away from commiting treason if he hasn't already done so.

Treason? Lol! Yeah, yeah, yeah....I distinctly remember another president 4 years ago that committed treason, but let's just gloss over that.

And no... it won't blow over; it's only getting bigger everyday. Now there's talk of Russian mobsters having invested in the Trump Towers building in Manhattan. Surely, his hidden financial papers would reveal further other dubious business dealings with shady figures. 

It doesn't have to blow over, the Dems can waste as much as they, I mean, it's not like we aren't used to it already, it's right up their avenue.

Funny how Trump tried to undermine Obama, saying he wasn't a U.S. citizen, he was a terrorist, he sold America out for the Iran deal.

Very true, the last part.

But look at Trump, selling out the country to Russia,

He did? Can you prove that?

obstructing justice, creating numerous conflicts of interests involving his business and letting his family profit from the tax payers. Yeah... Trump, a real American, making America great again. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll take GWB any day over Trump.

He could make America better, but I think for the Dems, they would rather have a crippled and a dysfunctional government, but it's funny to me, because the Dems seem to forget, you always need to be careful for what you wish for.

I'm not surprised, with your marked tendency to call everybody who does not share your point of view rightist and Putinbot. Name calling, however loud and persistent, is a bad substitute for logical arguments. For your information: even in Japan people with positive view on Russia are not rare.

I do not justify anything. I just think it is very amusing when people from the country that invaded half a dozen countries during past twenty years, killing dozens of thousands of innocent people in the process, call other countries not sane. Look at the mirror!

Speaking about sane. Veterans of the US intelligence community about US-Russian cooperation on Syria:

“He has no filter; it’s in one ear and out the mouth.”

The president is allowed to declassify information if he thinks it's pertinent to a certain situation.

Again, the question is should he since it comes from an ally who doesn't want it distributed, let alone to the Russians. The guy has no thought process other than generating tabloid headlines to deflect attention.

What will be his next obnoxious statement to deflect from this story?

But look at Trump, selling out the country to Russia,

He did? Can you prove that?

He used Russian gangster money when he built Trump Soho. No one else would lend to him after his bankruptcies. That is where the Russia connections started, and they have not ended. We have a president with gangster connections who is a mispoken word away from being convicted on those connections.

One of the 5 I,s have come out and stated That this sort of intelligence should be share between the 5 I,s and they don't not receive this information. That in it self is indicating that they are totally annoy with the present situation and that the saying USA having your back is waning. There Marines out there fighting with these Allie and not having your back in the of their mines cause by Trump action will cause deaths. Sharing info is paramount in the heat of battle. Now you will have Allie holding back info which will be life saving because it will get to the Russian. What Trump did is considered by Marines was a dog of an act. By the way Russia is not part of the 5 I,s. Both info must come from the same source, The type of intelligence and the leaker of the intelligence. That source can only be the Russians. The type of intelligence is the Key here. It was class Intelligence that is shared between the 5 I,s. It has to be share with the other 4 I,s but this was,nt but share with the Russians. The wording the Russian use in the response is another indication. This will see Trump drag up the hill to front the Congress no doubt.

It's hard to tell who was present since Trump barred US press and only allowed a Russian press photographer, who, in Trump's defense, claimed himself as Lavrov's personal photographer. Trump essentially barred US press and invited Russian press into the Oval Office during a meeting with Kremlin officials... where he may have divulged sensitive information...

I'll wait for solid evidence to decide whether Trump is actually colluding with Russia, but there's already plenty of proof that he's a complete amateur and unfit for the office.

And only one thought: monopoly of one company in economy is bad for economy, monopoly of one country in world affairs is bad for world affairs. Do you really need links to understand that?

I don't claim to know that the American and other non-Russians employed by RT and Putin's various media outlets are Russian 'agents'.

Well the actual NEWS for tomorrow should be that DNC staffer Seth Rich was found to be in contact with Wikileaks before he was murdered.

But Im sure the MSM will make up some other hard hitting news, like 'Trump lawyer tweets modeling pic of his daughter'. I know I was intrigued by the 'Trump gets 2 scoops of ice cream but everyone else only gets one' Pulitzer Prize level article. Its probably time to get a negative decision on at least one of the travel ban appeals tomorrow thats my guess as they are out of Russian stuff again.

You need a few more years and at least seven Democratic panels finding him innocent and greasy, unshaven Gowdy insisting that he's not before you can even remotely begin to compare. You also have to spend several million in taxes on it, insist it be part of the election, and you most certainly can't fire everyone who tries to encourage that the narrative be spread and the truth come out. Even the GOP say the WH is in a downward spiral, with people who STILL support Trump saying he's a disaster. Supposing he did NOT intentionally give classified secrets to the Russians and saying he did it by accident, as some who insist we provide proof are unwilling to do so in defending Trump suggest, that just makes him an extremely incapable and dangerous moron unfit for the top job of the nation.

No, not even comparable, and the anger and calls for the man to be imprisoned should be about 100 times anything they tried to throw (still are, actually!) at Hillary.

I like how you guys try to do this. Unnamed sources leak false stories. People who were actually there say it didnt happen, but you discredit them because they work for Trump. Who else would be there except Trump staff? So he can never sufficiently prove ANYthing to your liking.

Then from time to time you get Trump one on one with no one else in the room like Comey meeting. Trump says what happened, Comey says nothing to dispute, so Trump is somehow still a liar. Good little scam you guys got going but it doesnt make the leaked stories true. American people care about jobs, their money and their safety. Especially from Radical Islamic Terrorists and illegal alien criminals. All this other stuff is pretty much irrelevant. Stock market high, unemployment is low, consumer confidence is high but lets talk about Russia some more.....

Anyone can leak a FAKE account of what happened. You dont need to be there to make up things that people in the room said didnt happen. Sorry my actual human beings phrase has triggered you. Im just making the point that officials with knowledge of the situation do not have a name, a face, or a reputation and cannot be questioned to determine truth. I am not aware that the three people who said it didnt happen are known liars by name/reputation, correct me if I am wrong.

Thats actually about health care which I didnt mention. Nevertheless, I feel for that man and that topic has personal connections with his family that is why he is so passionate. Some people care about health care much less and even think its not a right but a privilege.

But people whose children were killed by illegal aliens are just as passionate that illegals need to be gone (build that wall!) People who lost their jobs to foreign countries too (America first!). People whose families were killed by Islamic terrorists at a night club as well (Travel ban!).

Yet those people's voices cant be heard and supported like the man in the video, they are called any name the media can think of to silence them (racist, xenophobe, homophobe, anything that ends with -ist) The liberal courts block any type of relief for these people that the President tries to give them.

Every person has something they care about more than other things based on what has happened to them in their lives. That wont change. But government cannot efficiently meet the needs of each individual and their unique situation, they have to focus on what is good for the country as a whole.

Is Trump just a moron or a traitor?

He is a PATRIOT that loves the U.S.A. He has never been a politician and is currently draining the swamp in front of the world. He is doing what he was elected to do. He will do it whether you like it or not.

Remember 8 years ago? Obama did the exact same thing. The Washington Post has for years been a newspaper that favours Democrats and liberalism. So go figure. Bezos despises Trump and probably has more money than he does, so this is just another example of an elitist Liberal promoting his "fake news" agenda. Surprising people even pay attention to that rag.

Last week USA gave heavy weapons to the YPK. This week some one leaked info about ISIS staging air terror attacts using laptops. A 5 I,s member (Australia stated that they have not receive this information ) this being class High intelligence, all 5 member should receive this info. So this mean none of the other 3 I,s did not either. So you got Russia getting this info which they admitted was told to them at the oval office meeting but not the source. Trump is denying putting the source at rise, Trump did not deny given up high intelligence. Well any one can work that out the source is the YKJ. The only Allie force constantly taking and interrogating ISIS captives. Yes the Iraqis are also but USA are enbeded with Iraqis and would of got the info first hand so that rules out the Iraqi passing on this intelligence. Trump is not in bed with Russia. It that Russia has Trump feeding out of their pockets. Trump is Make America the USA look like complete idiots. Has anything the Washington post has release since Trump,s election been proven false ? No. Has any statement release by the Whitehouse been proven false since Trump election ? Yes Plenty.

That is why this news is making so much noise.

I will give you, that there may be some possibility that this news has been blown out of proportion, taking out of context and/or mixed some lies with the truth (though I personally not believe it so)

But giving that type of information to a country that the US has several serious regards on external policy and security issues, puts the safety of US citizens (not to say other countries as well) in real risk.

Even if the position you stand is the correct one (that nothing out of nowhere), if Trump would have allowed to US media to be at the meeting as they did with Russian media, there may have been no problem to begin with.

Speak for yourself. Many Americans want honest government from the people they elect.

Sure, we all want that, but the majority of Americans especially the ones that don't live in the coastal States want the government to focus more on job creation and not bicker and to have the MSM desperately in their hatred of Trump and continue to throw landmines his way.

They're sick and tired of entrenched corruption on both the left and right. They want jobs and an even distribution of wealth;

Liberals, progressives want that perhaps, I do believe that.

they don't want the biggest tax break in history that benefits the rich and wipes out tax credits for the middle class just signed by Trump. 5.5 trillion dollars that could've reduced health care costs for all Americans, cut child poverty in half, and implemented Sander's free college idea.

Well, if they want jobs to come back, stay and create a strong private job sector and have the ability to grow and hire people, they would understand that a tax break for this companies is crucial. So I'm all for it and as a small business owner, I would love to see the corporate tax rate go down to 15-20%.

But no, thanks to Trump, the rich will only get richer.

They got rich under Obama as well, so what do you want, you can't have both. You want to see growth within the private sector or you do not? If you do, then we need to do something about the tax code. We already have enough people out of work.

Some Americans want honest government, EPA regulations, cut military spending, increased education spending, lower health care costs, a president who works for the betterment of the people and not strictly for his own family.

Yeah, the people in California and all up to the West Coast and the Atlantic can have it.

gcbel, those in charge of intel will know quite quickly as intel sources from friendly countries which used to be exchanged with American intel vanish.

Those were the people in the room. This idea of who appointed someone never came up when Obama people backed up what he said or Hillary people backed up her (sometimes false) statements. When the Obama judge who was his personal friend blocked the travel ban, you all were perfectly cool with that. No way that his friendship or who appointed him had anything to do with it, most of you said.

The intensity of delusion suffered by Trump supporters is breathtaking. You claim this is fake news because Trump appointees in the room claim it is while the sources are anonymous. Where do you think Trump appointees' loyalties lay?

Oh, and there is this:

"Three White House officials who were in the May 10 meeting strongly denounced the story, saying no intelligence sources and methods were discussed — but they didn't deny that classified information was disclosed.

The Post story — which was later confirmed by The New York Times and BuzzFeed News — does not claim that Trump revealed any specific information about how the intelligence was gathered."

https://www.yahoo.com/news/report-trump-shared-secret-russians-220346368--politics.html

Some of you, and you know who you are (Bass and Black), are conflating sharing of classified intelligence with sharing how that intelligence was gathered. This is exactly what the WH officials are doing as well in the hopes of altering the perception of what actually happened.

We'll see if the White House actually wants to quibble with any specifics in The Post's reporting. So far, they haven't cited anything specific that's false. And that's pretty telling.

So Mc Master said this: 'The story that came out tonight, as reported, is false.' So now people wont accept it is false because he didnt cite specifically what was false? I have no idea what kind of world we live in anymore. He said what they discussed so that means anything outside of that which was in the report is obviously false. Does he need to go sentence by sentence and say yes or no through the whole article? Jeez....

That statement does not deny the claim that Trump disclosed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister about a planned Islamic State operation.

Reading between the lines, Trump was spouting off (again) about how great he is, what great intel he has, how hugely important and wonderful he is.

He has no filter; it’s in one ear and out the mouth.

You clearly are not familiar with the justice system. Prosecutors and defense attorneys are often times personal friends. This does not get in the way of them zealously representing their clients.

A level-headed, thoughtful and in-part legal analysis of this farce. Highly recommended read.

https://www.lawfareblog.com/bombshell-initial-thoughts-washington-posts-game-changing-story

Relevant parts about the denial by McMaster and Tillerson.

Deputy national security advisor Dina Powell has denied the story as false. Notably, national security advisor General H.R. McMaster limited his denial to the fact that, “At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly.” Likewise, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has denied disclosure of any information on “sources, methods or military operations.” These are both very carefully worded statements that leave open the possibility that classified information was disclosed other than sources and methods or that classified information was disclosed which might be used as a basis to infer sources and methods not directly disclosed.

Leaving that aside, I also love the way Trump is reported to have brought up the classified info.

In his meeting with Lavrov, Trump seemed to be boasting about his inside knowledge of the looming threat. “I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day,” Trump said, according to an official with knowledge of the exchange.

The fact that we all know and can easily imagine Trump being perfectly capable of making that statement is just astounding. The President of the United States, the most powerful man in the world, is boasting like a third-grader with an overly inflated ego.

I wonder what US allies will think now before sharing intel with the US? And what if their distrust of Trump causes them to withhold crucial intel and leads to a terror attack in the US? I suppose the Trump brigade would still defend him.

Tweeting Comey you better not release tapes, again knee jerk. Sorry that really not progressive. These topic are all facts not hear say. This is what Trump has achieved in 4 months. You dislike Obama ok but in his first 4 months he had to change a lot of old way and pass over 20 issues concerning the recovery of 2008 fall out. That is progressive Politic. You can argue if it was or was not successful, but it is Progressive not like Trump first 4 months of nothing.

gaijinpapa: What Trump did was very stupid. He gave info that 4 nation should of receive first. They have a agreement to share Highly classified Intelligent with the other 4. They Are Canada, UK, Australia and Ireland, Yet The Australian Government stated That they did not receive this intelligence. So Trump keep the 4 Allies in the dark but told the Russian the info but not the source which Trump has tweeted. Mate that not on, When The 4 Allies are part of the coalition fighting ISIS, The last time I heard Russia was helping Asard and arming the Taliban. Do you think the other 4 nation will share any info now with Trump after giving it away to a non coalition member, Russia. Get real this a international insult by Trump to USA closest Allies. No info will be pass on to the USA until Trump is gone. That a Fact.

So Trump used the media to whip up this story because usually they would retaliate if they're kept out of the conversation. Whatever discussed most likely isn't all that classified and the Russian probably already knew about it. But the story about US sharing "classified" information to the Russians suggest that these two parties are getting chumpy and whoever their common target is from all this should feel nervous.

According to the sources that reported it, it was literally the highest level of top secret with a code word. That means that only people with top secret clearance AND clearance for that code word have access to it.

This story will not be verified/proven like the hacking story. Anybody can make up just about anything because the content can not be revealed due to its "classified" nature. But if it was actually top secret material, that's good.

It is hilarious how Trump supporters are claiming that anonymous sources have no credibility, or less credibility than named sources. How'd that work out during Watergate? Exactly.

Then there is this, hot off the press:

“The president wasn’t even aware of where this information came from,” McMaster told reporters during a press briefing at the White House on Tuesday. “He wasn’t even briefed on the sources or method of this information, either.”

McMaster would not say whether Trump divulged highly classified information in his meeting in the Oval Office last week, as the Washington Post reported Monday evening.

“What I will tell you is that in the context of that discussion, what the president discussed with the foreign minister was wholly appropriate,” McMaster said, “and is consistent with the routine sharing of information with the president and any leaders with whom he is engaged.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/mcmaster-defends-trumps-decision-reveal-intelligence-russians-171103306.html

Now, if the Post report were incorrect, wouldn't McMaster come out and specifically deny the information from the anonymous sources? The answer is yes, he would. Add to the above Trump's tweet about his absolute right to reveal classified information and the logical inference is the anonymous sources were 100% correct.

How are you Trump supporters going to try to spin these facts to fit your narrative? It's okay to admit you made a mistake. In fact, that is the hallmark of intellectual honesty and integrity.

Trump been screaming Fake new again about this topic. Trump morning tweet has turn 180 % about it being Fake new. How do you feel Base and Black and the rest of the trumpets. When you been defending this fool for for months and he come out and tweet that statement this morning. Man you must feel like a complete idiot , fool. dumb, or, gullible. So how does it feel defending this idiot fake news, Now Trump has tweeted that is true that he pass on info to the Russians before passing it on to USA Allies. Trump stated that giving the info to the Russians to make America safer, He has even release the source that being Israeli, now do you think the Jew wanted that info out there ?Yes Trump says he have the absolute right to give out any info. Yes He has the right but in doing so made to biggest intel blunder since the WW2. He just alianated USA 4 closes Allies who will not deal with USA until Trump is removed. That what you get for electing a fool, a Idiot. Like his form was worse then Hills and people still voted for him. When troop death number start going up just remember Trumps has given right to disclose Intel to the Russians first. Just remember Trump own words when terror attack kills American on USA soil and intel was not pass on fearing that it will go the enemy.

@Bass, Black, et al.:

Are you even going to acknowledge how incorrect you were regarding Trump intentionally divulging highly classified information to the Russians? I already know that you won't, but just to put a fine tip on my point:

From a couple of Bass' previous posts:

So can you prove that Trump intentionally gave the information to the Russians? You guys can't seem to get it through your heads. Could it be problematic, could be. Impeachable, no. Even if the facts are true and the president unintentionally gave out information.

Incompetent? Stupid? Not befitting of a president? 

Unintentional, negligent

I don't think it's a joke either, but I don't think that's the issue that's really of concern to liberals, they just want Trump impeached, so whatever they can conjure up, push their narrative, fabricate or distort, whatever tool they can find in their arsenal, they will use.

From a couple of Black's previous posts:

It took the media several days to make up something to use against Trump as far as the meeting with the Russians that they didnt like.

But because libs so desperately want this to be true they will accept unnamed reports leaked to newspapers over the public statements of actual human beings.

I like how you guys try to do this. Unnamed sources leak false stories. People who were actually there say it didnt happen, but you discredit them because they work for Trump. Who else would be there except Trump staff? So he can never sufficiently prove ANYthing to your liking.

Simple, to tell them that the Washington Post report is false. Based on the public statements of the Secretary of State, National Security advisor and his deputy who were in attendance at the meeting.

Again, thank you to those that created the cut and paste function. You made it so much easier to use people's own words to remind them of just how incorrect they were.

Guess what, Trump apologists:

"According to the Times report, which has since been confirmed by multiple news outlets, Trump broached the subject of the investigation into Flynn’s ties with Russia and asked Comey to “let this go.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/report-trump-asked-comey-end-flynn-investigation-221236730.html

Let me guess, it is fake news. Just like Trump disclosing highly classified intelligence to the Russians, correct? How'd that work out for you?

Cue the denials and obfuscations.

Trump has now admitted in his tweets that he did divulge classified information to the Russians.

All of you who claimed this story was "fake news", i.e. gaijiinpapa, forgetaboutit, Blacklabel, Wallace Fred, cherrytime et al. please feel free to admit that you were wrong.

I also look forward to reading your explanations as to why it is fine for Trump to give away intelligence on a whim, but a heinous crime when somebody else leaves intelligence in a place where it may possibly be accessed by others. I wasn't surprised that none of you saw fit to answer that when I asked it earlier.

Now, after letting McMaster go out and say it didn't happen - what an about turn. I'd be mortified if I was him.

Remember what Trump said about Hillary and confidentiality?

"We can't have someone in the Oval Office who doesn't understand the meaning of the word confidential or classified."

Well Trump may or may not have the right to divulge classified information but the most important is that ...under Trump, the White House is now officially lying to the general public (and spreading fake new).

The point is, you can be fair or you be partisan and the media chooses to be partisan, if the roles were reversed and Trump did the exact same thing Hillary did, the fallout and the brain hemorrhaging that would ensue from the left would be apocalyptic. But anyway, she didn't become president, so I don't have to worry, it's all water under the bridge now.

The 2010 deal for a majority stake of Canadian-based Uranium One – which required approval from Clinton’s State Department and eight other federal agencies – and its plausible connection to major donations to the Clinton Foundation was exposed by author Peter Schweizer in his book “Clinton Cash and confirmed in a 3,000 word, front-page story by the New York Times.

Former Uranium One chairman Ian Telfer was among several individuals connected to the deal who made donations to the Clinton Foundation. Telfer made four foreign donations totaling $2.35 million, the Times reported.

The donations flowed as the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013. Snopes and other “fact checkers” who insist there was no quid pro quo have argued that most of the donations were made in 2008, before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state. But she was running for president at that time.

Well lets hope this Comey business gets the attention it deserves, sure forum right wingers, with evidence, due process and so on, but the accusation that the sitting President asked that an active investigation 'go away', then removed the person heading the organization currently investigating issues related to them is at odds with the very ideals of a free and democratic government system and about as serious as it gets.

Politics isn't easy, its not a business, at its best its not about quarters or simply ensuring you are elected once more, or that your chosen side of the political spectrum gets what it wants at all costs, or single handedly making all the decisions, its long term plans to help as many people as possible have better lives. At its worst is difficult choices and interactions that require intelligent, measured, appropriate, well thought out responses and decisions.

This additional gaff, or mistake, or unwise choice, whatever it is, on top of the tweets, hung up phones, the serious nature of the Comey situation and so on, in my opinion, just further shows that this person is not fit for this position.

@Bass:

This is too much fun to quit now. Your own source for the non-controversy regarding Uranium One shows just how much of a non-issue it was:

"*The 2010 deal for a majority stake of Canadian-based Uranium One – which required approval from Clinton’s State Department *and eight other federal agencies . . . "

Move bolded to operative part to make it easier for you to read. Now, I'll connect the dots for you. Since eight (8) agencies beyond the State Department had to approve the sale, Clinton was not able to do it unilaterally. If she wasn't able to do it unilaterally, then any influence, no matter how tenuous, upon her would not have matter enough to make the sale a controversy.

Trump's admission was not that he leaked CLASSIFIED information. He said he told them things that his position as President allows him to tell them. That was what the whole newspaper story was about, classified information and telling them something he shouldnt have. Then the newspaper even clarified it was from Israel, which IS the classified part of it. Israel put out a statement saying everything was fine with what was said by Trump, but newspaper ignores and keeps pushing the narrative.

Show me where Trump admitted to leaking anything classified. McMaster and everyone else in the room also said he didnt leak CLASSIFIED information.

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

@Black:

 McMaster and everyone else in the room also said he didnt leak CLASSIFIED information.

No it isn't what McMaster said. He said Trump didn't reveal intelligence sources or methods. McMaster never denied classified info was revealed.

No, not everyone in the room said this. The WP's sources said he did.

If Trump didn't reveal classified info., why doesn't he directly deny it? Why doesn't McMaster? If it did not happen there is no reason not to directly deny it. That's called a logical inference, which is completely different than the wild speculation you employ.

To learn more about how you are incorrrct, read my previous posts.

The attacks on Donald Trump are unwarrented. Yes he is brash and someone should tell him not so much reacting to every little hit his way.  But he has done more then most in his first 100's in office, of course you will not hear that from the media in US. The Democrats have been nothing but road blocks and hypocrites. It was nothing to see here when Obama and Hillary were running the show, with gun running and dead americans. Now that Donald is in, if he breaths in the wrong direction the Democrats attack. I gave Obama 2 years when he was first elected, now i will give Donald 2 years too. Also as president he has the legal right to share sensitive information with others if it with be in national security interest. The info that was shared has already been made public before. The real problem is the people who are leaking anything they think is wrong. These people if caught will do prison time.

I don't understand the problem here. The president has overall declassification authority to release any information he sees fit.

Tune in to the real media like Fox, Breitbart & Info Wars?

2 ( +2 / -0 )

the president has the authority to disclose even the most highly classified information at will

And that's all there is to it.

This is not a story, it never was a story, it is just an anecdote bent and shaped into a story. If this is the only substance to the "Russia-gate" theory, then they might as cut their losses right now, and move on.

Has nothing been learned since November? It's been 7 months, and the media still cannot figure Trump out. If they are not continuing to underestimate him, they continue to mis-estimate him.

Trump has made the fatal mistake of not kowtowing to the media, a mistake which Bush made back in 2000. The only thing Bush said was that he didn't read the papers, and the media thought this implied that Bush didn't like them (which was true, but I also doubt he could read an entire newspaper without help). They never forgave him for this, and never overlooked a chance to take a stab at him. And Bush, being dumb as a rock, and a president who couldn't manage a McDonald's properly, gave them lots of material to take a stab at.

Trump has gone much farther, calling the media liars, even to their faces. The media don't see themselves as objective reporters of facts, they see themselves as champions of the truth. Ironically, their definition of "truth" is relative to whatever ideology they or their sponsors believe it to be, this goes for CNBC and Fox News equally. But even though what they report is not objective, and at the best of times only vaguely resembles the truth, they are easily offended when someone dares to call them liars.

Trump is not stupid. He may be a lot of things, and most of them not good, but he is not stupid. Stupid people do not become billionaires or become the president of the USA. If those who hate him, and those who oppose him think he is stupid, what does that make them?

Lastly, how did we end up with Trump as president? It is not Trump's fault his is president, it is the fault of of America's political system, which has decayed to the point that Trump could win. If America's political system were effective, and served the people, rather than ruled them, Trump could not have possibly won. Trump is a symptom of a greater problem, and rather than hating Trump, we should be hating those in Washington who have brought us to where we are now.
