In to see where this goes....
President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said that Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State. The information Trump relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said. The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said that Trump’s decision to do so risks cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and National Security Agency. “This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.” LINK “The president and the foreign minister reviewed common threats from terrorist organizations to include threats to aviation,” said H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser, who participated in the meeting. “At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed, and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly.”

Anonymous officials paraphrased by the Washington Post, must be legit.
|
|

Yeah this is it. Two maybe three days from now done.
Penguin guy can step in now and tell me how he's eventuallygoing to be proven right. |
|
Impeach!!!! This is what is needed, this and only this!!!!!
Just like the Madow tax reveal |
|
What did he do? Reveal how many nuclear warheads we have?
FBHO |
|
Even if he did does the president not have the authorization to do so?
|

He told them how to get two ice cream cones when everyone else only gets one
|
|
Yup, and Comey needed more money for their investigation, and the DAG threatened to resign after the Comey firing.
|
|

I believe he decides what is and is not classified and and make changes. Fake news.

It couldn't be worse then Huma sending top level classified info to Anthony Wieners laptop or Hillary storing all her classified e-mails on a personal server at her home. FBI even stated this was ok by not recommending charges.

|
|
Gee if only the Wapo paid this much attention to Hillary's emails
|

IIRC the president has authority to classify/declassify information.
If he revealed it, it's no longer classified. A darned sight better than that drunken Ted Kennedy blurting out classified information to the press because he was, well - drunk. |

Are there things that are even above the president's pay grade? There has to be things they wouldn't ever tell his for the whole deniability thing.

Trump, as commander-in-chief, does have the power to declassify information about national security matters at his whim, legal experts say.

“It is all kind of shocking,” said a former senior U.S. official close to current administration officials. “Trump seems to be very reckless, and doesn’t grasp the gravity of the things he’s dealing with, especially when it comes to intelligence and national security. And it’s all clouded because of this problem he has with Russia.”
It does sound like he could use a reminder about "loose lips" and clearly, a sensational piece in a newspaper is the way to do it. |

Trump will be impeached any day now, which means Hillary Clinton automatically becomes President.
Because that's how it works in the dreams of the retarded. |
|
The media thinks they'll be covering Civil War II.
Imagine their surprise when they're among the first casualties... |
|

By highly classified, do they mean that Michelle was a dude? That's no secret.

So Trump allegedly gave classified information about ISIS to the people actually fighting to eradicate ISIS. Fuck him...
