re: McMasters Briefing on Russia Oval Office Meeting 10:30AM

Cliff notes:

McMaster said what was shared was "wholly appropriate."

He also confirmed that the information was classified. He did this by saying he couldn't comment on whether it was classified or not because he cannot confirm if something is classified. However, if it were not classified, he would have said so I am sure.

He said that Trump was not briefed on the sources or methods of the information. This also was a confirmation that it was classified (there are no "sources and methods" for unclassified material).

This last bit is concerning. Either the IC doesn't trust Trump to give him details of sensitive intelligence or the IC is corrupt and has their own agenda to undermine Trump. If you will recall, when Trump first took office NYT published a story that the IC was refusing Trump intel (Trump denied it). I think the story was true.
