Quote:McMaster says that "at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed." But The Post's reporting doesn't say that they were.
Instead, the report states clearly only that Trump discussed an Islamic State plot and the city where the plot was detected by an intelligence-gathering partner. Officials worried that this information could lead to the discovery of the methods and sources involved, but it didn't say Trump discussed them.

Seems to me that the WLB has an even bigger problem. He excluded the US media and only allowed his Russki cocksucker pals into the office along with their reporters and his top staff.
That means that he can't blame the leak on the media because they weren't there.... unless it was his Russki buddies who butt-fucked him.
Unless he is the leaker.

Unless he is the leaker. No, it's pretty clear the leak came from inside the intelligence community. The White House had to do damage control by informing the NSA and CIA right after the meeting that the information was given up.
Someone inside the agencies probably leaked it to WaPo.

What does Trump have to do to get impeached?

More than this, apparently. It seems that the President can de-classify something simply by saying it. Thus, what he's done here doesn't rise to the level of 'high crimes and misdemeanors' and is not an impeachable offense. Stupid, careless, dangerous, boneheaded and incompetent - but not illegal.

According to some law experts the office of President regardless of party, the President has the right to do what he did. Having said that, that fucking moron does not understand legal and moral, much less optics and tactics. Trump spent a year attacking 17 agencies, fires Comey meets with Russia at the same time, now this. WTF?
Trump stinks worse than a dumpster full of used condoms.

Can someone take the loopholes away from this cretin of a president, please? And can someone tell him that "fun toys to play with" is not how you pronounce "loopholes"?

This is a big deal.
This is one thing you don't know how to call: treason or imbecility.

A senior European intelligence official tells The Associated Press that his country might stop sharing information with the United States if it confirms President Donald Trump shared classified details with Russian officials.
The official said Tuesday that doing so “could be a risk for our sources.”
The official spoke only on condition that neither he nor his country be identified, because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. (Source: Associated Press) https://apnews.com/d941959a6ba4495993916...el-sharing
So yeah, no big fucking deal. Except to our fucking allies.

The GOP might argue that we have always dealt with our enemies. True, but not like this. I have never seen such dangerous blatant incompetence and it really amounts to nothing more than Trump's ego.
This is EXACTLY what 50 Republican former law agents warned of during his run. How the fuck can he be trusted after he spent a year shitting all over intel?
