Note that not ascertaining the authority and NtN is listed as a Security Violation. Deliberately disclosing it to make oneself look important is classed as a "MAJOR Violation". The President is not above the laws and regulations. |

McMaster is denying it happened, no further questions.

Is there precedent for revoking a president's security clearance?

Ok so probably not illegal just more confirmation he is a absloute capital M Moron or a Russian Patsy.
How the hell can Hillary still be looking worse than Trump to his dwindling supporters? Can someone Just take away Trumps toys, give him some sheets of A4 paper and some crayons and let someone competent run things? Please? |

IF this happened -- and notice that's a big "if" -- I'm sure President Trump had good reasons.

I think if I was in the CIA or one of the other lettered agencies responsible for secrets, I'd be fast looking for a way to stop giving Trump anything vital that he could spill to whoever happens to be in the room at the time he wants to feel important.
Republicans got all upset that people sent Hillary information that was later classified on her non-classified system because it might have been hacked, and here we have a President who is just telling State secrets to anyone that happens to be around so he can feel like the big man. I expect this to not taken up hundreds of pages of them attacking him for it. |

Classified info is regulated by executive order. The last one issued by Barack Obama.
And it makes it pretty clear that the president has the authority to declassify any information. |

The intel was about an ISIS plot to bomb airliners using laptops.
Explains why the US is looking to ban people from carrying laptops on airliners when traveling from overseas. |

How do we know WA Po and the NYT weren't punked or fed a fake story?
I really want to know just how certain the story is. On the other side of the debate, the denial was carefully constructed using semantic games to essentially deny sources were revealed without saying the information one might use to deduce sources was revealed. |

Let's see:
1. It didn't happen at all! 2. It did happen, but it was perfectly okay to happen! 3. In fact, it was some kind of genius tactical move! 4. Anyway, Hillary did a million times worse things. Do I win the million bucks? |

Their ally status has no bearing on arrangements with other allies, especially with regards to Sensitive Compartmented Information

Both Tillerson and McMaster deny that this actually occurred. I don't know much about these two, so maybe they are willing to lie with impunity. I don't suppose we'll ever have better evidence than the testimony of administration officials and unnamed sources.

Watch:
Trump did not disclose anything to Russians. Instead he authorized someone to tell The Post he did. Result: ISIS tortures its own people trying to suss out the (non-existent) mole, and the media further delegitimizes itself as fake news. #3DChess #MasterPersuader #MAGA |

As long as there was no intent, he's fine...
Anyway, it seems to be another meh story blown up by the MSM... Tillerson: Trump did not discuss 'sources, methods' in meeting with Russia's Lavrov http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...KCN18B2PP?il=0 |
