    Why, you've already convicted him. At least I left myself breathing room. Show some actual evidence, maybe someone willing to go on record. All you have at this point is a gut feeling placed their by the DNC propagandists.

    Are you sure the Russians didn't just read the information in one of Clinton's emails?

    They made no mention of flying monkeys either. How do we know the flying monkeys weren't involved?

    Everyone knows why Trump supporters don't care. If they admitted they cared then that would be admitting that they hired a complete and utter moron to be President. That is why they excuse his daily lies as "alternative facts."

    Flying monkeys would be a conspicuous absence if he was accused of spreading flying monkeys.

    He was accused of spreading classified information. The absence of classified information from the denial is conspicuous.

    To this point, I am trying to be respectful. If you choose to engage in basic trolling behavior with me again, I will stop responding altogether.

    One of CNNs anti Trump "experts" just admitted that what Trump did wasn't illegal or an impeachable offense.

    In other words, ya got nothing.

    What classified information and who exactly leaked it?

    Perhaps this refers to the Trump campaign officials that were in contact with the Russians. While these names were hidden in the general reports being circulated within the FBI, NSA, and CIA they were disclosed to any person with the security clearance on a "need to know" basis but it's also been acknowledged that the names were fairly well know throughout the intelligence community. The names managed to find their way to the public but no one knows who leaked that information.

    There's been zero evidence that anyone at the White House leaked the names and it's also highly unlikely that anyone at the White House would have leaked the names. We need to remember that the Obama White House had been protecting the Trump campaign, The White House knew about the Russian intervention to help Trump by distribution of false Clinton information for several months but didn't go public because it could have adversely affected Trump's bid for the presidency. Unlike the Russians and the Trump campaign the Obama White House was concerned about preserving the integrity of the 2016 presidential election.

    Of course, if trump is gonna work with Russia, as our commander in chief, he can inform them anything he wants to, in order to fight isis with Russia. And he should. My guess if, if true, it was Israel who had the info. Russia is not at war with the US nor Israel.

    All of Hillary Clinton's private emails were password protected and could not be accessed by someone that had access to her private server. No evidence exists that any of her private emails were inappropriately shared with anyone that wasn't authorized to know the contents of the emails. There was never any evidence that any unauthorized person ever gained access to her emails.

    None of the emails on Hillary Clinton's private email server were annotated to reflect that the contents had classified information. Hillary Clinton did not violate the law because the emails on her private server were all "unclassified" emails regardless of whether they contained references to classified information.

    Hopefully the term mole is being used in it's broadest definition of "one within an organization who passes on information" because there's no one in the Trump White House that could be considered in the much narrower definition of being a "spy" for the Democrats.

    To my knowledge none of the "leaks" from the Trump White House, such as his fits of rage when Comey refused to back up Trump's unsupportable claim that Obama ordered wire taps of the Trump campaign or Trump's outrage over Comey's investigation of the Russian-Trump Campaign connections. The anonymous reports that the Trump White House is in complete disarray aren't criminal or that Trump seems to be imagining that he has unlimited power and can simply ignore the law and the Constitution. Those leaks aren't criminal.

    Ultimately there's only one person responsible for hurting Donald Trump's presidency and we don't need White House leaks to know who that is. It's Donald Trump and he's openly hurting his own presidency with unconstitutional executive orders, incompetent executive decisions, destructive agency policies, and by simply being completely unqualified to be president. You know, everything the "conservative" editorial boards from the National Review to the Arizona Republic warned Republicans about.

    It doesn't help that he's also suffering from a malignant narcissistic personality disorder in combination with a paranoid personality disorder that makes him unfit as well as unqualified to be president.

    Trump shared more information with the Russians in 5 minutes than McCann shared with Vietnamese in 5 years, and he was being tortured.

    This post is remarkable. I am mostly replying in order to mark the post so that I can read it in more depth at a later point.

    So "clueless" that he defeated the best candidates the republicans and democrats could throw at him.

    You guys criticize Trump. Imagine instead having a president so inept that they couldn't beat Trump in an election.

    Sharing top secret information with Russians and potentially threatening all current and future intelligence relationships is "nothing" because it wasn't illegal and doesn't qualify as a high crime and misdemeanor, got it.

    By the way, if classified information is coming from another country then the President must abide by the conditions established for disseminating that information even if it was made by a previous president. The information is provided for "with a condition" and that condition must be adhered to. If Trump wants to change the conditions they he can negotiate the change or if he decides to refuse the conditions then he must also refuse the information.

    Unfortunately this falls under the principles of "contact law" that exists between countries just like it exists between enterprises and individuals. but the problem is that Donald Trump, as a businessman seemed, to show a complete disregard for contract law. That's why there were so many lawsuits against Trump - he failed to fulfill his financial obligations under the terms of a contract forcing the other party of the contract to file a lawsuit to force Trump to comply.

    I know it's nothing because it was nothing when Hillary Clinton did it.

    Because people like you thought he was some kind of maverick, when in reality he was just the same loudmouth prick he has been for his entire life. You were duped. Congrats.

    Wait...you thought it was nothing when Hillary "did it?" That is really astounding to learn.

    Clinton did not share classified information with a foreign government, let alone top secret information with an adversarial government.

    Actually it probably is illegal and "high crimes and misdemeanors" isn't a reference to the violation of statutory law but instead is a reference to anything the House of Representatives ultimately decides to define as a "high crime or misdemeanor" in the articles of impeachment.
