The leak of the Trump phone conversations is disgraceful

So says the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said on Thursday that Congress should probe the leak of transcripts of President Trump's phone calls with Mexico's and Australia's leaders.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) told The Daily Beast in an interview that the unauthorized disclosures of the transcripts to The Washington Post are "disgraceful" and compromised the president's ability to have confidential conversations with foreign leaders.
"A president of the United States, a governor would tell us they've got to be able to have confidential conversations," Warner said. "And I think it was disgraceful that those [came out]."
The Post published the transcripts of Trump's first conversations with Mexican President Enrique Pe a Nieto and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Thursday.
Those transcripts revealed that the president engaged in contentious conversations with two key U.S. allies and pressed them to make concessions in order to burnish his political image.
Warner said that the leaks are "reflective of a chaotic White House," but said that Congress ought to investigate the matter.

Are these the same conversations that were leaked months ago? I am confused -- I thought these were already leaked back then?

The aim is to let foreign leaders know they can't trust conversations with Trump. It's a horrible precedent to start.

I truly believe Mexico and Australia leak the phone calls, Trump has poke at so many people, don't be surprise if when more calls come out from other leaders.

Sows what exactly?
Sure even a Trump hater like you would agree that this undermines american national security and foreign policy?

Not looking the other way even on relatively trivial things. Then again, should that even be expected of a free press? I know @realists would like the only reality to be defined by @real's tweets and rally speeches, so, rhetorical question.

Any President is but a transitory figure. The Presidency and the country endures. @real has diminished both in ways known and yet to be revealed. It's always something with that guy. My hope has always been that he resigns. Give Pence a chance.

Give some examples please.

So does shitty precedent like cheering on and demanding leaks of classified information like transcripts between the President and world leaders.
Don't be pissed when this happens to a President you do like if you're ok with this happening to Trump.

Hope springs eternal.
Assuming Mueller can't get Trump, you're going to be either voting democrat, 3rd party or stay home in 2020.

I like him but I don't trust him as he reminds me too much of Bush 43 and all of his mistakes repeating itself that led to a piece of crap like Obama getting elected.

I will never understand how hilary's actions are blatantly ignored while a damned leaked phone call is now bad.
At this point and time I don't believe a damned thing democrats say about leaks, conversations, chaos in the WH, or whatever narrative they are driving unless I can see the word for word transcripts of these leaks and what was said. They are constantly trying to shape opinions with nothing more than a "trust me" talk. Just because so and so said its a disgrace means I should take his word for it? bullshite! Show me or STFU about it.
IMHO the democratic base have lost the benefit of the doubt on anything without tangible proof. They have cried wolf far too many times.

The left and GOPe would rather see this country burn than Trump succeed.
Can't wait for 2018 to see how this strategy works out for them.
