Doesn't counter it at all. If enough substantive information is provided that mature, capable intelligence services like Russia's and Iran's can narrow things down it can have a serious impact. That's why the classification and dissemination guidelines for information are so important.

Weren't half of you guys lobbying for McMaster to be fired like 3 days ago?


Besides, Trump could have threatened to fire him if he didn't lie to cover Trump's back- he already demanded a vow of personal loyalty from one senior IC official that we know of.

I doubt it, but could this all be part of a plan to expose the bugging of the WH? The leaks, the tweet about tapes, and now this. I realize that bug sweeps are done daily, but the admin could intentionally leave the bugs in place, or realize that new ones are consistently being installed.

I know this is a reach, but at this point, I wouldn't expect anything less from our govt

Eta: How else are former officials getting so much intel?

You can tell by the folks posting in these anonymously sourced articles by biased leftist propoganda rags threads and vote pattens they are hard as frick and melting hard. Like their every downvote legitimizes their claims. It is pathetic. Trump is your president and will not be impeached or otherwise removed.

America won.

The Wash Post can't be compared to Breitbart. If Breitbart or youngturks.com, type of blog media printed an exclusive breaking news story. It doesn't spread to every MSM news organization out there like this fake news story did in a matter of seconds.

Washington Post can lie and get caught many times, as they have-without ever posting a retraction- and yet tomorrow whatever story they break is gospel to the MSM and CNN types.

Imagine all the people in an airport that have no other choice to watch CNN. The MSM needs tarred and feathered at dawn; with McCain and the rest of the GOPe.

He said that the story "as reported" is false. Big difference. You can nitpick part of the story and say that even if the rest is true.

What was disclosed then?

If none of that was disclosed, what was disclosed?

Trump relayed details of a specific plot, including the name of a specific city where it was discovered. He didn't say that country A discovered the info using method B, but disclosed enough details to potentially narrow it down.

buzzfeed, DU and media matters talking points told him

go look at the original thread on this supposed bombshell fake news. people come out of the woodworks piling on.

they are so fricking s t u p i d. yes, stupid! in their butthurt hatred. there are protocols in place that if a (never been in government POTUS--especially) has such a meeting, the conversation is controlled. Many POTUS' have the gift of gab and are monitored by a McMasters type.

this is as fake as Trump removed the MLK statue from the oval.

You're right, it doesn't. This could just be wordplay and trying to skate by on semantics.
