If you read Erick Erickson's confirmation story, it was partially leaked by Pro-Trump people within the administration. Or they were Pro-Trump.
This is what happens when a leader demands unquestioning loyalty but offers none himself. This has nothing to do with the "deep state" or anything else. This is his own support staff betraying him. Because they are disgusted and outraged with his behavior.
Also once again, this was not America's intelligence to share. We did not collect it. We were given it. It was intelligence provided by an ally on condition we don't share it (yet), because it was their man at risk. We did not ask their permission to share it and we did not share it even with our closest allies. Imagine if an ally had done something like that to us?
This is goddamn Golden-Rule shit: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

Again, Trump admitted he shared classified information. That means that he shared more than what was in the story that broke in March. And given that just yesterday the White House was saying the story was completely false (which now Trump himself is saying isn't entirely true), pardon me if I'm taking statements from the White House officials with a grain of salt. This is the second major story in a row where the administration has trotted out one narrative only for Trump to divebomb it later by admitting otherwise.

The EU needs to grow in power in unity. It's very clear that until the US resolves it's political crisis at home, the free world is under threat due to the lack of a leader and we're too dangerous to be one right now. Our house is not in order. It must be made right and will be, but that will taken time.
Europe must be that leader since right now, as in the mist of our national psychotic episode, we cannot be.
Who said they are retired? And why all this whataboutism?
The issue at hand is Trump shared code word (top level security clearance) intelligence with Russia, potentially compromising an on the ground agent of an ally. That has all sorts of negative impacts for us, ranging from loosing access to such intelligence in the future, to reputational damage.
Stick to the topic at hand which is this.
Oh and no, noone has refuted it. If they have provide me with a single credible source which states this or words akin to this -
"Donald Trump did not share top secret level information with the Russian ambassador".
Oh, come on... You seriously think Russia doesn't have full list of countries supplying intelligence to US, and all parties involved with ISIS?
Also, Russia isn't your enemy in regard to ISIS. Everyone wants them gone.
But we already knew that you have information about some kind of terror plot involving laptops. That was quite obvious.If they know the US has the information, they know that someone must have given it to them. There's also a good chance they know who would have had that information on their side.
You also have no information on which to base assessment on how big is this reveal to Russian intelligence on ISIS. It can be huge, but most likely it will not even make a single paragraph in intelligence assessment that will be completely forgotten in a few weeks.
But people were screaming about similar things during Obama's reign. Hell, remember "more flexibility after election" hot mic moment with Medvedev? That's more collusion with Russia then anyone ever proved for Trump. And Obama wasn't removed from office.
Also, most of the stuff Donny abuses now was created by Obama - like president ability to share anything with anyone on terror plots on whim.
He did, he wasn't, and neither will Trump. Time to accept it.Really personally i agree if Obama had done these things he should be gone lock him up for treason no way i will support an idiot that commits TREASON in the white house country over party bro country over party and If your president is corrupt he has to go period end of discussion.
