    Not necessarily. It could be argued that he is acting the county's best interests. I really don't know but I do find it hard to believe that news agencies are publishing total fiction. Is it possible there is some truth? Come now, certainly you wouldn't find it surprising the learn that idiot trump inadvertently revealed sensitive information.

    It make you sound really obtuse when you deny the undeniable and defend the indefensible due to profoundly blind partisanship. Most of the time I do not believe that you and many others really believe what you post. The guy you support is a screw-up so grow a pair and own it. Don't be embarrassed... there are even spouses that defend the ones that beat and abuse them...they just need lots of therapy to finally wake up.

    WAPO has become an extraordinary lying machine. Bezos is terrified and it expresses itself on his news entertainment site....

    LOL, I agree he shouldn't be there, but he was elected. In order to remove him, the process must take place as prescribed. :)

    Is that true? I really don't know but it does not ring true. Like at all. I don't think the president is free to disclose whatever classified we have to whom ever he wishes.

    Sure.

    On the one hand we have multiple high level, named sources, who were at the meeting.

    You've got some WaPo pajama clad warrior and a bunch of fiction attributed to unnamed "current and former" sources, which doesn't even make sense despite the level of lobotomy required to believe a shred of this.

    Yeah, go with the 2nd one.

    And I've made that exact argument, here in this forum.

    The officials (aka unnamed sources) saw it, not sure the journalists did. Fact remains these unnamed sources have proven very accurate and reliable. I know the right loves to ignore them, but legit journalists don't just make up ****.

    The Washington Post’s David Ignatius reportsthat Flynn and Kislyak spoke around the time of sanctions announcement. “According to a senior U.S. government official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials as well as other measures in retaliation for the hacking. What did Flynn say, and did it undercut the U.S. sanctions?”

    Apparently the information allegedly disclosed is enough to allow the Russians to reverse engineer methods and sources.

    It matters because Trump's actions might get allies and sources of valuable intel in the ME, killed.

    When the WH says they didn't reveal methods or sources, they are not contradicting the report. It is a talk-around. What was allegedly revealed was as good as disclosing methods and sources.

    Yes, the president gets to determine what information he may divulge, regardless of classification.

    That's also why he can have his son in law with him in the most secret of all meetings held with the president - even though his son in law doesn't have clearance for that.

    The idea of our founders is that the president knows what he's doing.

    And, that was supposed to have been one of the important criteria used by voters.

    Oh sweetheart I have no problem admitting when someone screwed up. Hell I screw up all the time. But you have nothing but an anonymous source to back up your claim. It's been denied by people in the room. Now unless that source wants to go public there's really not much to talk about.

    Did you seriously compare me to an abused spouse? How pathetic can you be? Seriously how ****ing pathetic ar you?

    If the president opened the CIA to full access by enemy agents, open house style, that would be problematic. One off trades, even at the cost of an agent's life, that's the job.

    Power is power.

    I'm sorry, is the Google broken tonight? Enough to satisfy you that you can just assert any baseless BS? Simply put, you're not correct. Like not even a little bit. But hurry, Rachel is on soon, and she can tell you what to think again....:roflol:

    White House officials told us Comey was fired because he lost the confidence of the FBI agents and because of Justice recommendations, too. Then Trump said he was going to fire Comey all along… and because of the Russian investigation. So which was it? Seems the White House staff and Trump have a credibility problem. If you want to take their word as gospel, fine by me. I'm not.

    The guy that wrote the story has said what the White House spokespeople denied happened isn't what he reported and doesn't negate or refute anything in the story, including Powell's, McMaster's and Tillerson's statements.

    Wonder why the NSA and CIA were alerted to what happened in this meeting as soon as it was over?

    If the NSA and other security groups take immediate action on laptops on planes, we'll know whether or not Trump spilled the classified beans… (or if foreign agents of our allies suddenly drink some polonium or get hit by a Syrian missile.)

    This is not a political game of partisanship. Lives are on the line here, and Trump shouldn't have ever shared information with the Russians. They are NOT our friends.

    That's the crunch, the CIA and FBI, NSA had to go into damage control with our allies against ISIS........the WAPO article has held back on releasing compromising info on the city that was revealed by Trump as well as the op.

    How much coincidental evidence is there going to be as it relates to Russia for people to believe there is something there on this forum. Why are there so many things tied to Russia in administration.....I mean seriously...
