No, its not,


Sharing highly classified info given to us by an actual ally with Russia, who may be Trump's ally but they aint ours, is a pretty stupid thing to do.

No. It also has no bearing on what we're talking about.

Hillary Clinton IS the precedent set for politicians being above the law and able to have no regard for classified information.

The answer is no. Perhaps Trump's divulging of certain information could be argued to be unwise, that of course is subjective, but as President that's his call.


he didn't share our Intel, he shared someone else's intel that was given to us.

Its cool if I let you borrow my lawn mower, but if I borrow my neighbor's lawn mower and then lend it to you without asking them. Totally uncool. Could you blame that friend if they never let me borrow their lawn mower again? frick no.

There is no way this is illegal, but if you care about natsec issues this should be troubling.

I'll answer truthfully.

I'll criticize Trump all day.
He was not my candidate in November, and he's not my favorite person now.



You aren't who I was directing that comment toward. It seems you aren't completely brainwashed into defending anything this dumbass does no matter how stupid.

Officially reached? We already reached that point with the Obamabots. Of course, you are too dense to understand that.


This has nothing to do with this topic. If you want to start another thread about "Shitlery"s email or O bummer, go start it elsewhere.

yea, that's kind of the problem though


This board would be in stage 3 meltdown right now if you replaced Trump's name with Obama and this happened three years ago.




Why would we melt at President Obama's flexibility?

The information Trump relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.
Pretty sure the country in question here is Israel

Are you telling me the Commander in Chief doesn't have the authority to decide what information he deems relevant to be shared with other other world leaders in the course of foreign policy navigation?


Of course not. The president owns all classified information and can declassify and disclose whatever he deems appropriate. Nothing illegal about it. I suppose this means you'd be good with him just directing our agencies and services to auto-forward every report and analytical product they produce to the rezidentura. Being legal and all.

I'm sure she's in the book with the best of them, however the grown ups are trying to discuss the WaPo article without it being derailed with you morons saying "but, but, but Hillary!"

When it comes to the Supreme Court, that's the case.
It is for me, anyway.
We just happen to be talking about a period in time when many SC seats will become available.
It is what it is.

President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said that Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.


No he didn't. If such a thing happened, no one would ever hear about it. This is a weak arse attempt to try and get at "show us the tapes to prove it didn't happen"

This isn't Louise Mensch. This is the lead story at WaPo and they know that it's gonna be the lead story for everyone tonight. I can guarantee you they have sourced this to death.
