If I heard this right, McMaster said that it was wholly appropriate for Trump to tell the Russians this info but leaking to the press that this happened is a national security threat.

Anyone care to parse?

That's what I don't get.

McMaster is saying that Trump didn't say anything inappropriate BUT the leaker is compromising national security. So if trump was saying appropriate things that we already know about, why is the leaker compromising security?

He also wasn't really sure if we shared the information with our allies... I guess none of those countries have commercial airlines.

His response to the fact that Trump named a specific city was strange. "I am sure you can name a number of cities in the area that ISIS controls."
