[WaPo] Trump Revealed Highly Classified Information to Russian Foreign Minister and Ambassador

According to Trump. We know the campaign is under investigation...it has not been revealed whether or not Trump himself is.

 

It's rare when the Washington Post does something like that, and they are actually quick to issue retractions/corrections when it's shown they have done it. That hasn't happened yet.

I understand why you wouldn't want this to be true, which I feel is a different reason than why I don't want it to be true.

But you've shown zero reasons why anyone should think this story isn't true.

 

I'm sorry but was Donald J. Trump not a YUGE part of the Trump Campaign? Was Trump himself not on live TV asking the Russians to release Hillary's hacked emails? Did he not praise Wikileaks? Did he not praise Putin and still to this day has never spoken negatively about him?

Only in the mind of Trump himself and his cult followers is Donald J. Trump not being investigated by the FBI as part of the whole Russian investigation. Its likely that he is just a "Useful Idiot" to the Russians, but there is more than enough smoke here to come to the conclusion that he might have had a hand in the collusion if they find evidence of coordination.

Point being.. you are cult lunatic if you think Trump isn't also being looked at personally in this. His financial ties, real estate transactions, relationships, business ties, etc. will all be a pretty big piece of the investigation at the very least.

 

This is the type of scandal you get for electing Trump, I am sure it was good for the scoreboard, but is it good for the country. Which country would not think twice before sharing their top intel with the US now? Put yourself in the shoes of foreign leaders and heads of intelligence agencies for a second and you would know how damaging this is.

 

Oh, of course Trump is under investigation. But when dealing with his supporters, you have to be careful with your words, because if there aren't multiple video and audio recordings, all of which clearly display Trump holding documentation of the investigation, signed by himself and the FBI Director, with them both clearly stating, with subtitles, "The FBI is currently, on this the <insert date>, investigating Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States of America"...then it's FAKE NEWS.

 

Actually they would be better off not brief him at all like he wishes to do anyway, everyone would be better off.

 

But but president Trump has tweeted his right to share information with anyone he wishes to share it with, Yuge win!

 

This is exactly what anyone with half a brain was worried about. Think about, for example, France alone not sharing intelligence with the US. With the issues they have had with home grown terrorist and them not sharing what is infiltrating their country and who they are watching, the US just got a lot less safe today if those targets in France jump on a plane to the US. Trump just royally F-ed up.

 

LOL Trump is hilarious. He basically confirmed he leaked highly classified material to an adversary (who hacked our election by the way, and Trump never once said a bad word about Russia, even now)

 

It appears the Trump public relations activities are being re-set... trotting McMasters out again in front of cameras while pushing Spicer out later in the day and off-camera...

 

Boy this will really help the situation faced by the WH.

 

Trump just revealed it was Jordan who was the ally who helped us learn about the laptop bombs. He doesn't get that this wasn't about doing something illegal, it was about doing something ridiculously stupid.

 

LOL, it is too funny watching this unfold if it wasn't so sad. Well I guess now McMaster's reputation is down the toilet, should have done the smart thing and not join this WH staff.

 

8.) A small handful of Trumpers stay and downplay it, saying so what if he did ______, it's no big deal, Democrats did it in 1964 etc. We have more important issues facing this country than this.

 

Yeah, because all of Trump's canny moves clearly indicate he is playing 12-D chess.

 

Trump has confirmed himself that he did this. There is zero doubt that this actually happened. It would help future discussion if we didn't have a back and forth over something that Trump has confirmed did in fact happen.

 

This might be a second European country expressing concerns (I think the one in the earlier post remained unnamed):
