Russian spies leaking the info to their former partners in Obama's admin. As the dem law of projection goes, since Trump and Russia are being linked, undoubtedly it means Obama and Russia are linked.


Bingo. Russians are pissed about Trump giving the Kurds more fire power. If people actually paid attention, Trump's foreign policy so far has been in no way Russian friendly.

This is only half pushing back on what WAPO is saying, it's not a full denial - it's close to an admission of a giant frick up. This looks like a coup on Trump.

Yeah it's a meaningless rag. That's why McMaster set up a presser within an hour of the story breaking.

Ughhh. Way to go wapo
Because wapo busy trying to play "gotcha" with Russians And the president, isis is getting a heads up

This is getting so ridiculous and out of hand. I'm surprised that Potus is keeping his composure. I'd be in an all out rage right now on this Russia ridiculousness. I would have been raging weeks ago. He needs to start rolling more heads.

Regardless of the content of the information, if it gives away a valuable source, yes it was horrible judgment. If it was a partner's intelligence who didn't authorize us to share it with Russia (or anyone else) yes it was horrible judgment, and likely will endanger that sharing relationship.


I agree there are many ifs that could make this detrimental to the US and thus horrible judgement. All of those ifs are pure speculation. Some are jumping the gun based on a weak story that has been countered by every US official who would know.

The one thing that does reflect badly on Trump in this is that if the ally was indeed Israel, as all the talking heads seem to be hinting, Trump was naive enough to believe that Israel had shared info with us that they had not already shared with the Russians, the Chinese, the Vulcans, and the Screen Actor's Guild.

Of course they're in total spin control. Hopefully, the ally wasn't Israel. The Russians and therefore the Iranians would love to reverse engineer the intel. The WAPO, was asked by intelligent officials not to print names or cities that Trump supposed to have mentioned and they complied.

According to an anonymous source, which will never be verified?

How much fake news are you people going to believe?

Whoever released this info to the Press clearly broke the law, and is a traitor if it was an American.

Time to take off the gloves. Kick WaPo OUT of the Press briefings and the NYT too, call them fake news sources and enablers of criminals. Then get serious find the leakers and prosecute.

You are either working very hard not to distinguish the two situations, or you simply can't. Either way, I don't see the point in trying to help you.

Uhhh...Has anyone seen Spicer/Conway/Jason Miller on cable news yet? This is unbelievable.

Papers always contact the White House (or whomever) when big stories like this run. They ask for their comment.

That means, the White House has likely known about this story for hours. Where are they?
