Trump Revealed Classified Information to Russian Foreign Minister - WashPo

[deadmanfred]

Not really surprising he is trying to deflect. Didn't they release a statement yesterday trying to get Republican lawmakers on TV about Trump giving out sensitive information and the Comey firing and memo but they couldn't find any that would go on air and either make a comment on anything or defend Trump?

Sorry the only "kiddo" here is you and deadmanfred that was so thoroughly destroyed, that he won't come back. You are defending an indefensible position and are apparently willing to go down with the ship. When even Republican lawmakers are hinting at impeachment, you know you fucked up.

Do people actively sit here and discuss politics? Kinda sad...

Man those Russians are really letting ISIS have it.

What does this have to do with the terrorist threat being discussed anyways? If its a terrorist threat then its obviously not about a loction on their own soil... so any talk of Russia's bombing locations is some sort of distraction from the real subject.

All in all what people aren't seeing is that none of this info has been officially recognized as being from Israel, they have neither confirmed or denied.

[Allybeboba]

Yup! These kiddos can't even figure this out. haha!

They also can't figure out that the PotUS can declassify "classified" information. Which means he didn't give them classified information.

Was this before or after they messed with our election? Do d Obama have American Press recording the event in. The room or only Russians like Trump? Did Obama manage to meet with them and not spill intelligence while boasting about the size of his truck nuts?

It's okay for Obama to meet with the Russians and share secrets. He was supposed to defeat Hillary. Trump on the other hand... Well...

He *can*, but there's a process for that which he *didn't*. This was nothing more defensible than showing off like a fucking two year-old.

We don't know that he didn't now do we? It is just more speculation as usual.
It is always best to give someone the benefit of the doubt. That's why we don't have mob justice.

We do know that, and benefit of the doubt ran out on this piece of shit over a year ago.

The two situations are entirely different for the reasons in the quote.

Even if this were true, this is a good thing, it's time we started becoming allies instead of the middle east

This is an interesting spin on the objectively bad news. Kudos.

Yeah, good call on that:

Now Russia will reveal their secret dealings with Iran, while building their nuclear reactors. They will do it any second now... it's what Flynn was doing when he lied about his Russian conversation to Pence, so he would inadvertently lie to American people. After all, you don't want your enemies to know your plan before you get them.

Yeah, those who aren't cucks for Trump. After all, when Trump fires a guy for lying about his conversion with Russia, you only celebrate it for 5 minutes... before completely forgetting that it happened.

This is the amazing part... I'm guessing when Trump said America first, he meant in sharing classified information with Russia. The most powerful nation in the world, had to reveal our secrets to Russia. A nation that is heavily sanctioned in US, is actively fighting on the opposite side in Syria and building nuclear generators in a country Trump put on both travel bans. But, the art of the deals means revealing our secrets for... a photo op in Russian state media? WTF?

We go from catching their spies to trade in a prisoner exchange, to volunteering secret information? Within 1 presidential? Because we want them to be our friend? This is the popular cheerleader in your school, groveling to get noticed by the kid with his fist half way up his own nose. US shouldn't be the one revealing our secrets... America is the top dog, we are not the ones that should be bending to meet Russia...

[Wyrt]

I think at this point they(republicans) are just trying to get anything they want from him, like tax cuts for example. I think they are basically playing a game of chicken, how long they can hold on to get what they want before they have to bail and try and preserve their job.

They haven't gotten anything yet, but have already significantly jeopardized their jobs.

[Logwyn]

Recklessly endangering our efforts to combat terrorism and jeopardizing our relationships with allies, specifically their intelligence agencies.

It's patently absurd that a president of the US would "declassify" (translation: brag about in an attempt to impress) top secret information to the god damn Russians as they're trolling this country and our president in the god damn White House.

It's legal, but this is the kind of thing that, if confirmed, is indefensible despite the fact that it may be legal. Neither side of the isle should be remotely pleased with this.

How long until he starts "declassifying" top secret details via Twitter, with no advanced notice to the Pentagon or our intelligence community?

Hillary promised to reveal everything about Area 51 if elected. Maybe we should have elected her and had more fun!

If its declassified right or wrong.. What was the info exactly? Why can't the American public know what it is if its declassified now?

[Cthulhu 2020]

Please stay on topic and leave the childish insults to yourself. Please and Thank you.

You were one of the most obnoxiously loud people when it came to screaming about bringing up Bush during the Obama presidency, even when it was something that Bush was directly responsible for. And now here you are, defending someone who is deflecting from Trump . Truth hurts I guess.

But really, is it an insult if it's true?

[ati87]

It's a good thing to leak information that the source itself didn't want you to leak because it could potentially hurt them?

And why is it a good thing? You honestly think that Russia does anything that's a win-win or do you just hate jews and muslims so much (see that avatar and text) that you don't care about anything else other then hate.

Except no one is arguing that even the Wapo article agreed that it was within his power to do so. Why are you regurgitating Trump talking points without understanding the situation?

I'm sure political chaos is exactly what he wanted.

[Elim Garak]

This whole Anti-Russian hysteria in US was Putin's plan all along. Investigation will turn out nothing, because there's nothing - as it's just Russian Trolling, but the US government will be stuck in this state of doing nothing productive for all this time, making the rest of the world laugh at them and lose reputation points. Bonus points for impeaching Trump, lol.

[Deleted]

Donald Trump is a bufoon. It seems pretty obvious now that he's a puppet for the Republicans and Russia. Trump will be impeached, and Mike Pence will take the power. Basically, Trump was used as a popular face that Republican sympathizers would vote for. Now that he serves no purpose anymore and is just a hindrance on the government's credibility he is getting backstabbed. Serves him right, but his replacement might be even worse. These are dangerous days.

Not sure you understand that just having the power to do so doesn't mean it's a smart thing to do....

How hard is this to grasp

You don't give classified information to the Russians while when you're own presidential campaign is being investigated for ties to the Russian government to undermine the election processes......Nobody, outside of his troll defenders, actually defends Trump on this maybe a excuse of like ''what can we do, he is stupid so he just doesn't know''

In the end being the president doesn't make you King (joffrey).
