    WaPo also reported the russians hacked our grid and sessions called immigrants filth. They have a clear agenda at times.

    Again though, them confirming that a 3rd hand source from a former administration is spreading rumors isn't really important though. Every single first hand source has denied the story.....so unless there were tapes of the meetings that's the end of it. You never take a 3rd hand account over a first hand account unless you just want to believe no matter what.

    "The White House has got to do something soon to bring itself under control and in order,” Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee and the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, told reporters, adding, “It’s got to happen.”

    “Obviously they’re in a downward spiral right now and they’ve got to figure out a way to come to grips with all that’s happening,” Mr. Corker said.

    Asked about the larger effect of the disclosure, Mr. Corker said, “To compromise a source is something that you just don’t do, and that’s why we keep the information that we get from intelligence sources so close as to prevent that from happening.”

    Leftists and crazy right wingnuts. Austinite hippie dems piss me off the most, but in reality they're just a bunch of pot smoking uninformed idiots. The right legitimately want people to be less educated and constantly aim to increase discrimination. A certain part of their faction is our equivilent of the taliban

    Please list 3 issues in which it is okay to criticize Trump...

    Apparently potentially leaking classified information is only bad if its a Clinton? Considering how BS didn't hurt the GOP this election cycle... the Dems should double down on it.

    just to clarify

    WaPo's reporting was on that "Agent Orange had provided his Russian handlers highly classified info",

    not the source of the classified info.

    McMaster was defending that Trump did not give up "the source of the highly classified info",
    which was not what WaPo had reported. This is the proverbial non-denial denial

    Are you saying the Russians haven't hacked our grid and Sessions has never said immigration were filth? Or that they have an agenda and it's topic are inconvenient to your views?

    I think we can say for certain that the 3rd hand account by the member of the previous administration happened for sure, there's no need for further confirmation of that part of it. Unfortunately given that every first hand source has denied the story.....well we'd need something else to happen before this is worth any more of our time.

    I guess it was noteworthy that a member of the previous administration is spreading rumors, but how noteworthy?

    I love it, Trump is being hit where he hit Clinton. You conservative's showed the Dems the way during Obama's administration, the truth doesn't matter, just the story. Trump is too weak to keep getting hit again and again.

    the economy, healthcare, his personality.


    There is no potential leaking of classified information. This is the same white noise the press have been spitting out for a year. How many anonymous sources stories have to be proven wrong before you start figuring this out?

    Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee and the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, does not share your opinion.

    Is that supposed to matter? Is that even relevant to what we're talking about here?

    I mean, come on man, when you have the left trying to spin "It didn't happen" and "the story is false" into a confirmation.....you guys really need to check yourself. It's really starting to get pathetic.

    Yes, the post retracted their grid hack story and apologized for the session's story. He called Mexican gangs filth not immigrants.
