That Trump felt compelled to brag about his intel to foreign adversaries really underscores how insecure he is.

A deeply insecure man.

In his meeting with Lavrov, Trump seemed to be boasting about his inside knowledge of the looming threat. “I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day,” the president said, according to an official with knowledge of the exchange.

WaPo has more insiders than any news outlet in America and these dopes question it. Can't say I'm surprised.

As a journalism student, I think it is a shame that WAPO and other news outlets continuously use unnamed sources in their stories.

Of course, you dolts lap the MSM info up without question, so I'm not all that surprised.

Have you taken a political journalism history class yet? It's been going on for decades. You might have heard of Watergate which was largely broken by a couple of reporters doggedly chasing a story via unnamed sources.

Imagine if this story was..

Obama revealed highly classified information to Iranian diplomats in their Oval Office meeting last week, banning American press, only allowing Al Jazeera reporters in."

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 Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.


I find it odd that over what the article claims is intel so secret that former US officials are being quoted as sources.

I am guessing that this line of intelligence from an unnamed ally who is definitely not Israel didn't spring forth from nothing in the last few months

Yes. Gonna wait until it's repeated elsewhere. Looks like a spoof site.

Well later in the article it states that Senior White Officials had to scramble to do damage control, contacting the CIA. I doubt the actual info that was talked about was revealed, just that it was highly classified. But I don't know.

You seem like a good guy, Iosh.
But BuzzFeed?
It's the most liberal "news" publication in existence.

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.


Exception is if he is impeached

Do you expect people to commit career suicide by revealing their name when giving info like this to the press.
