    Trump revealed highly classified information to Russians in meeting, officials say
    Looks like Trump's mouth got him into trouble again......
    He was trying to impress the Ruskies and shared classified information. The article suggests it compromises the sources of the classified information about the laptop bombs and the Islamic State. You really have to wonder what he tells his "friends" to impress them too......

    File for impeachment. If he shared classified information that could not be shared with people within the US Government, he has no cause to share that information with an antagonizing nation.(And while I wanted peace with Russia, not at the expense of the US.)

    If it can be proven that he did this, this is a 'high crime and misdemeanor' from a political standpoint. It's time, file for the articles of impeachment.

    Then we wouldn't have known Flynn lied to Pence or that Manafort was working for Russia. But I guess that's what you'd prefer lol

    This thing's really starting to have more legs then I was comfortable with. It was one thing when it's "Ah, they know Russians!", but now it's become more concrete than that, as Valarie Plame herself stated. The money-laundering case is really legitimate and it may very well be the reason Trump's hiding his taxes. He might very well be trying to hide FRAUDULENT accounts.

    And now with this report of revealing classified information to the Russians, I think Trump tried to play a middle game of 'token opposition' while feeding the Kremlin what it could.

    So current but also Obama's gov't officials, unnamed of course, for they revealed what should be classified too, they leaked, and of course we are supposed to believe all of it. Right? And since Obama's people revealed it too, they broke the law to get at trump. How did they know? Are Obama's people still breaking the law in order to keep this presidency off balance? That is, if this isn't more lies.

    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.

    Hillary revealed classified info to anyone who wanted to look on her private server Where is the outrage here?

    But the biggest problem here is not what the OP is about. No. It is the fact that if true, trump has moles inside his admin. and outside it, from Obama people who are no longer in office and yet still knows what goes on in the WH. Which qualified them for prison. Unlike trump. And his people, moles, are working to hurt his presidency. So he needs to bring in security, and hook these people up to a lie detector, and pupil monitor and start finding these traitors. And fire them, if prosecution is not possible.

    That came from an NAS monitor which the DOJ took to Trump and for which he was fired and we were told the reason. Who cares about Manafort he was fired too.

    What unnamed former official was in the room with the Trump discussions with the Russian diplomats?

    And we do have a named source totally refuting the claim.

    And the President can declassify anything remember it was one of the excuses for the Hillary exposing classified information.

    Trump has recently shown that even if he were clean, he's clearly out of his depth as CIC of the armed forces by relying on the military exclusively for everything, and domestically being unable to rally his own party(and of course Dems would never agree, so he'd have to have strong independent numbers, and he lacks those too.)

    Basically even if he were clean, he's not qualified to be President. We should not subject ourselves to 'Well, he's been elected so let's deal with it.' He's not qualified, he shouldn't be there.

    Both those were revealed by unnamed sources. Have any of the claims by unnamed sources been proven false? Some haven't been proven and some have been denied, but that doesn't mean they got it wrong.
    Former official likely heard about it from others in the loop.

    "They tricked us": White House peeved that Russians posted photos of Oval Office meeting with Trump

    Hey, if you can’t trust the Kremlin, who can you trust?

    Picture this. The day after Trump fires the guy who’s leading the FBI’s Russiagate probe, he hosts the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador whose phone chat with Mike Flynn in December led to Flynn being fired. The meeting had been scheduled — at Vladimir Putin’s request — before the decision to can Comey was made, but instead of canceling it or at least asking the ambassador to stay home to avoid horrendous optics, the White House goes ahead with it. And not only do they go ahead with it, they let a Russian photographer into the Oval Office to take pictures on the assumption that he wouldn’t leak them the instant the meeting was over to troll the free world with the specter of Trump/Russia collusion in the wake of Comey’s termination. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov "was right where he has always wanted to be Wednesday," writes Susan Glasser, "mocking the United States while being welcomed in the Oval Office by the president himself."

    Come now. Assuming it happened, doubtful, what if we were swapping information to gain intelligence on a credible terror event.

    Oh, now we're worried about mishandling classified info again?

    Oh look. Another story based on "sources".

    Oh look. According to current AND former sources.

    How exactly would "former" sources know about the leak and have access to classified information?

    Oh look. The story even tells us what the classified info was:

    began describing details about an Islamic State terrorist threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft.

    How do the reporters know what the classified info was about, and why are they repeating it?

    Oh look, the only quote in the story with a named source, buried halfway down the story:

    "The president and the foreign minister reviewed common threats from terrorist organizations to include threats to aviation," said H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser, who participated in the meeting. "At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly."

    ANOTHER BULL**** STORY FROM A BULL**** MSM.

    I actually appreciate that you admit to seeing things differently now.

    While many saw quacking, flying, and swimming, they weren't ready to call a duck a duck. Now that they are also noticing the green head, waddles, and feathers, perhaps more will do the same.

    Another truly damning claim with no way to verify it. Who are we to believe the media that thinks it must resist a Trump Presidentcy or the President.

    The media colluded with the DNC before the election. I have little doubt their sources for these stories were also cooked up through collusion between the media and the DNC. I mean if we're just kicking out conspiracy theories, there's mine.

    Tillerson just released the official State Department response and stated that no such sources were discussed. They discussed the common interest of our two countries in fighting terrorism.

    Now give me a named source who witnessed the conversation and refutes that.

    I don't think so. What the Prez reveals is no longer classified, he's the top official when it comes to that. He could reveal our nuke launch codes.

    I'm glad you enjoyed that work of fiction.

    I'm guessing you missed the only nugget of truth in it that was attributed to McMasters.

    And a NSA adviser who was present denies it as does the Secretary of State who was present. Who do you have to refute them?
