Good job. You know so many "dims" on this forums hold Rachel Maddow in such high regard. You are really on message.

"Sources, Methods, or Military operations"
Sources: didn't reveal ally we got intelligence from. Seems likely. Trump doesn't bother with details, likely wouldn't mention where he got it from.
Methods: How they got it...obviously, because it came from an ally.
Military operation: Isn't a military operation.
That is everything they deny. "As reported" simply means if one single detail is missed, that is "false", as in 4 people instead of 3. Such wordsmithing.
What the WaPo report suggests is that the info is regarding something with airlines....which, definitely isn't military. How and who they got info from doesn't seem like Trump's style either.
What they did NOT deny, is that Trump shared classified "code word" info with the Russians. Which is what has been confirmed by multiple outlets.

Gotcha, I was just curious because this power is not explicit in the constitution. I guess the ability to declassify information in matters of national security is important for the president to have in order to "uphold and protect" the constitution.

Since when have liberals ever given a shite about what the Constitution says?

Oh yeah. I bet Mr. Bean really threw 'em off the scent.

In other words, pure speculation.

Aha! I knew Obama would be behind Trump disclosing classified information in the Oval Office. Where's the link so I can read up?

With all this Russian talk, I'm expecting the left to try and resurrect Joseph McCarthy soon!

NBC has been officially classified as fake news by the Poliboard so we will unfortunately have to wait for more outlets to confirm.

So by more, you mean at least one.

The problem with the WaPo story is that they quoted anonymous sources, right?

No. They didn't do any investigating.
They jumped at Trump' messing up'. Didn't bother to ask about what. And if they did, didn't bother to research said topic on the Internet to see if it was out there. And if they did, they didn't care, and made an indefensible charge against the president. Just because they could

No, the problem with WaPo is they are printing out right lies. 4 in 1 week

You can't discern that from the article at all. We all know that every media outlet in America has been reporting about a potential laptop ban for a few weeks.
However, the WaPo report infers that details about that attack were revealed to Russia. A lot of intelligence professionals have indicated the specificity of what Trump said could put some of our intelligence sources at risk.
You guys have to read a little bit deeper than you do.
