The issue is not what Trump leaked....you can make a strong argument that the information on ISIS methods is something that should be shared with other countries, even those who are not exactly our best buddies....but the incredibly inept,grandstanding way in which it was done.

Heck, even in business you are supposed to be able to withhold information from suppliers and customers and not reveal that to their competitors. That's why non-disclosure agreements exist.

Do you think the "left" somehow set Trump up and then leaked a fake news
story? No, that cannot be right. Maybe you should read the rest of the Washington Post article. There is a lot of information in the article, including what the consequences of giving that intel to the Russians. You know, for someone who clutched his pearls whenever Hillary's name came up (well, those four downgraded emails could have started armageddon) it is fascinating to watch the Trumpster's double down on the rightness of giving away "the best intel" to Russian diplomats. Kislyak, (spelling?) that guy no one can remember meeting ten times, was also at the meeting. Why would the POTUS want to give away intel that AMERICAN men and women worked hard to get, and now, maybe someone will die because of that idiot's pathological need to be right and the "best". |

Doesn't that seem odd to put in an article that has an anonymous source?
They get right to the consequences? We might have a clue!

I work in a call center for a major telecommunications company and *I* have a better grasp of protecting secure information than this clown.

Yep, that is the feeling I got from some comments after the WaPo article.
The ones who could string together a sentence or two were changing the subject, and misdirection. Hillary! Butter emails! Trump must be the most basic needy baby. He has no idea of the power of his office. Who cares about the intelligence officers in the field he wants the Russians in the room to be impressed with him. It is cringeworthy and embarrassing. |
