CNN had info back in March on city where the alleged intelligence leaked to Russia by Trump, and the WH warned them not to divulge it or it'd get people killed


It's mid-May, two months can be a lifetime in intelligence.

Are you suggesting CNN blasting something on international television is the same as the POTUS revealing it to a foreign diplomat in a classified setting?



No. If it would have gotten people killed had CNN ran the report in March, what changed last wee when Trump revealed it to the Russians?

Yep

I'm not saying to believe the WaPo on the "importance" of the WaPo story. I'm saying that when McMaster calls it bullshite, then caveats that 15 different ways such that 95% of the verifiable information in the story is now true according to the administration's spokesperson on this matter, you're a fool to tout the "well the guys in the room say it's bullshite" mantra.

Maybe nothing changed. Is Tapper suggesting that the WH told them that people would be killed if the Russians found out?

If CNBC is scrolling "McMaster and Tillerson deny WaPo story" without noting that the denials have been seriously undermined by the administration's own statements, they're way behind and that is borderline irresponsible.

trumpkins aren't too good at reading comprehension.

They are correct that mcmaster and tillerson said what didn't happen, and its in agreement with what the post reported.

Yes, and this is the same network that claimed looking at the wikileaks emails was "illegal", except for CNN.

It's one thing for a media source to divulge information to the public, it's something else to discuss international issues with officials from other countries.

Jake Tapper landed nothing.
