Trump revealed highly classified information to Russia

[kirch]

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.

The information the president 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.

The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.

I just read this earlier today. This may be the most serious problem Trump has had so far. I'm not sure he knows that he can't say whatever he wants to just anyone.

Nah. Don't fall for the fake news, wait a few hours or days to see the truth.

I find it ironic the FUD being spread here, as all Bitcoiners hate the fact that FUD is constantly spread about BTC only being used for drugs and illegal stuff. News is always making shit up and spinning their stories with "anon sources". Anon sources are garbage, you might as well be straight up quoting 4chan.

LT. GEN. H.R. McMASTER, NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER: I have a brief statement for the record. There is nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American people. The story that came out tonight as reported is false. The president and the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation.

At no time, at no time, where intelligent sources or methods discussed. And the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. Two other senior officials who were present, including the Secretary of the State, remember the meeting the same way and have said so. Their on the record accounts should outweigh anonymous sources. I was in the room. It didn't happen.

    WaPo publishes maybe one of the most blatant fake news reports we may have ever seen.


    McMasters and Tillerson both say its completely fake news just a while after it starts to trend. The story gets maybe 2 or 3 hours of decent trend time before its put to bed.


    WaPo somehow becomes even faker news.

Yawns.

I concur, I'm not fond of Trump but this is odd. I'm curious how legit this leak is,  there were only x people in the room, it would be gi to jail style dangerous to leak something as sensitive as this. Also, MCMasters is pretty chill, and supposedly he was there. Said it was cool, I don't really see him lying for Trump, ESP at the expense of his career.

But who leaked this? I don't really see why someone would fabricate this, and this is clearly a bid to get him impeached by someone highly placed. This wasn't done lightly, the brevity of the situation speaks to this being true.

 And if it's true, dammit man, it's like he's trying to do this shit on purpose.  I won't point out all the irony, it's literally too much. They don't get optics. Fucking period.

I will give this a few days to shake out, then look at it again. Too early now, but my bones feel like this to, will be popcorn worthy.

He's the United Airlines of presidents.

Finally, a US president that admitted country is turning blind eye to export of islamic terrorism by Saudi Arabia? That would be incredible for world peace but I doubt it. Trump makes bussiness, not hand outs.

And the fake news including Washington post already have an abysmal track record at reporting. This time they try to be as vague as possible. "We heard, that Trump maybe did say something classified, but we dont know what." Roll on the minute of hate from simpletons.

I am sceptical, but it would be nice to see more cooperation between major powers on the issue of islamists.

Is this really true or just another fabricated story to destroy the image of the President of America. What is the true picture here? Did the President Really jeopardized and leak classified informations to Russia. And how did this kind of news was posted on washington post and if they see it as a problem why would they publicized it. It is probably a hoax news made to destroy the president.

I also read about the story in yahoo news.

Trump revealed intelligence secrets to Russians in Oval Office - officials
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-revealed-classified-information-lavrov-white-house-meeting-212952076.html

The White House said the allegations were false. "The president only discussed the common threats that both countries faced," deputy national security adviser Dina Powell said.

Move on please people, fake or not fake he didn't give Russians the nuclear launch codes of USA just a few intell about some ISIS related stuff.

Don't make a mountain out of a pebble.

Let Trump be, soon he will surrender the country to the north Korean leader after a BJ in the white house.

[zend7]

So Trump fired the general director of the FBI, revealed highly classified information to Russia and wants to go on a meeting with Kim Jong Un of N.Korea. No wonder the dollar is going down, the economic data are coming weaker and weaker week after week. I should curse this idiot, as I had a lot of money bet on the long dollar which I still believe will be stronger than the Euro. In Euro no good data and the Euro raising up. Damn you Trump.

The media is using each and every opportunity it gets to tarnish Trump. What they are failing to realize is the fact that their actions are having the exact opposite of the desired effect. The number of people who trust the mainstream media is getting smaller every day.

Are you sure about that? Give me an alternative source of information. Who would not say, but the news we learn only from the media.You may not trust one or more media, but other information source you have. Trump revealed the secret or not let it finds out the Congress. The task of the media was to convey information and it confirmed the Trump. He still did not understand how world politics and with whom you can confide and with whom not.

Always from the people hid the truth and we have already actually observed what is happening and why. That's to endure with Trump's election history, when they open the whole truth or not.

I mean, is the media invalid? For all your critiques of Obama's 8 years, did we ever get to this level of sensationalism and scandal? Not since Nixon have we seen someone run so roughshod over the office of President. And the complicity by the GOP makes this substantially worse, it's being normalized and supported, to a degree.

I know the Breitbart crowd hates politicians, to be honest, I'm not so fond of them myself. But do you see why we tend to elect politicians, instead of reality television stars, to do actual politics? Say what you want about Hillary and Obama, at least they were qualified.

Basically, these accusations are fucking nuts. Of course the Commander in Chief of the country can discuss classified data with other countries' leaders. That's what he should do. He makes deals with them, uses data to advise them on bad shit coming down, maybe in their neighborhood. They reciprocate.

You don't need an "alternative source." Just need to think through the events being described, then see there's nothing there that is negative for Trump.

Nothing at all.

These media jerk offs are grasping at straws.

[freedomno1]

The media really is paid for by the Democrats you can't make this level of propaganda against someone up.
Anyways I'll wait for the leaked audio tapes and wonderful memo pads spoken outloud to reporters and what not before drawing a conclusion this hype frenzy just builds their sales and makes them feel good if the media is self-serving then it's not really much of a free press or the joke might be it would be better as a free press than one paid for by either of the two parties in the USA.

I concur, it is his job, but he also has to do said job well. He can tell all the classified Intel he wants, but it might be stupid to say, compromise ongoing Intel operations concerning Israel, who I'm not a fan of (the GOP lurvs Israel, but to be fair, the DNC does too). It's a baker's job to bake breads and delicious confections; but when the cookies are burnt to shit, and the bread is stale, you may want to look at getting a new Baker. The hilarious part is this is similar to how Obama was treated by Fox during his 8 years, every mundane thing was sensationalized, including the birther shit and the Muslim rumors. We won't even address the extreme right wing media, he was everything from the AntiChrist to a Saudi plant bent on spreading Sharia law through the US. The difference is Trump is highly unpopular, as the legitimacy of his office is in question. Also, he is the literally most unqualified person to be the president, as proven through action. This isn't conjecture folks. I would take Kid Rock, or Bill O'Reilly, over this. The policies would be just as fucked, but we wouldn't look like assholes in the process. Andz, I like Kid Rocks hats. Alot.

Why is it so confused to prove the connection of the tramp with the Russian government? I just do not understand. I just think that Donald Trump is full of independent people and there can not be someone under the hood. Although there may be one circumstance that you have some compromising evidence on this person and then everything can mosaic with lying down in the Christmas tree.

Just a couple comments. Your favorite ex Prez bows to Saudi kings. Read into that whatever you want. He eats pork, so he's not a very good Muslim.

Obaby was highly unpopular with large segments of the population.
Now Trump appears to be unpopular. So what?

What matters is that I said the accusations were fucking nuts, and you responded with a rant on five unrelated issues such as popularity? Get real.

You said, he the COF so he gets to discuss what he wants. I said, thats fine, but you can't discuss things that would compromise your allies, as that is kinda like, you know, helping the enemy. The InfoWars crowd may have convinced you this is trivial, but it's not. At least, Israel doesn't think so, but meh, Israel.

Israel flipped a shit. They think it's a deal.

Was pointing out OB got the same bad press. Just, was more opinion than actual obvious fuckery. Trump is dropping the ball every fucking play, this time major news sources get to ridicule an unpopular president, not just Fox and somerightwingbullshit.com 

But, I will admit I got off track at the end, started ranting. Really would take Kid Rock though. Those hats are fetch, dammit.

But you don't know that happened. You don't even know what was discussed. That's what makes the heaping of negativity on these events fucking nuts.

What's happening is you start with a negative opinion of Trump, then spin an event to create more negativity on Trump. But that's no more than making things up.

What's dangerous is not the secrets discussed between leaders of major nations, but the leaking of such conversations to the public by persons unknown with agendas and motives unknown.
