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.”

“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.”

As I recall, he damn well does.  Now whether there is prior notification to the agencies involved and that was complied with might be open to discussion.

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.

Silly me, but if I was in charge of an intelligence agency I wouldn't reveal certain things

to any elected member of government just because they won't have the conditioning to

self censor.

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.
