The source of the country is not the problem.

It is the information contained within the intel that was leaked to the Russians by Trump that is of concern. Specifically the ability to work backward and identify where our allies source resides. Trump has taken to Twitter and all but admitted it happened, trying to justify it as in our national interest to disclose this intel to Russia that was not authorized to be shared. He has a right to do it legally, that doesn't make it inconsequential though.

Again, the problem is if what was disclosed can lead back to the source of our intel inside ISIS. Multiple sources to multiple outlets are concerned. When you read commentary in Israel those knowledgablet to the issue are concerned.

The other issue is that of trust. We rely heavily on allies like Israel, Jordan, NATO members, and other allied countries to provide and share vital intelligence about our adversaries. If they feel our president or this administration can not be trusted to keep that info under wraps, they may hesitate to share it in the future. Harming our ability to protect Americans and American interests. Harming our ability to fight terrorism and protect our country.

As I said before, I understand that is the talking points of the sore loser lefties and the Trump haters.

However, in this case the info was already public knowledge.

It was already in the news that ISIS was trying to make laptop bombs so President Trump didn't disclose anything new to the Russians that our enemies could backtrack or that should make our allies distrust our president or his administration.
