Trump Revealed Highly Classified Intelligence to Russia, in Break With Ally
By ERIC SCHMITT and MATTHEW ROSENBERGMAY 15, 2017

WASHINGTON — President Trump boasted about highly classified intelligence in a meeting with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador last week, providing details that could expose the source of the information and the manner in which it was collected, a current and a former American government official said Monday.

The intelligence disclosed by Mr. Trump in a meeting with Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, and Sergey I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, was about an Islamic State plot, according to the officials. A foreign ally that closely guards its own secrets provided the information, which was considered so sensitive that American officials did not share it widely within the United States government or pass it on to other allies.

Am I reading this right? I don't believe it. This is something that you just don't DO! WOW!!!

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 8:23PM

Mr. Trump’s disclosure does not appear to have been illegal — the president has the power to declassify almost anything. But sharing the information without the express permission of the ally who provided it represented a major breach of espionage etiquette, and could jeopardize a crucial intelligence-sharing relationship.

What is it with Trump? This is something you just don't do.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 8:31PM

Didn't you hear McMaster? Or do you just reflexively hate him like Flynn?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 8:53PM

I don't have time for hate Steven. I am to busy learning about this Breaking News.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 10:50PM

More like Breaking Wind.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 10:52PM

As Auntie Maxine would say, it passes the smell test.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 10:53PM

The world is smelling it now and it smells like Pure BULL💩.

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 6:59AM

It's far beyond bull s h i t Ron. The Washington Post and their "sources" are traitors. Back in the day they would have been hung as spies.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 7:13AM

What for talking about the event that happen in the Oval Office?

Steven, are you OK with President Trump boasted about highly classified intelligence in a meeting with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador last week, providing details that could expose the source of the information?

Are you OK with that?

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 7:58AM

I'm absolutely OK with the President allying with Russia to destroy ISIS.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 8:30AM

You just don't throw the people that is working for you under the bus, in a DAMN Tweet, LYING to the American people, keeping the American Press out of THE Oval Office, Putting our armed forces in danger, saying that he has the right to give away that information.

WOW and you OK with that. That move is out of control.

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 12:29PM

You need to do an honest assessment of yourself Ron, how little you really know about this meeting.

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 12:31PM

And it doesn't seem to matter a bit that the Washington Post was kept out of the meeting, now does it.

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 1:53PM

In case you didn't see McMaster this morning:

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 2:03PM

And now the New York Times is reporting the source of the intelligence, the very intelligence they claim the President revealed. And these Enemies of the American People are the very ones you trust and praise and elevate above the President of our country. SICK!

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 2:20PM

Why do you think that the American Press was kept out of the Oval Office during the meeting with Russian diplomats?

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 3:00PM

I don't know, but I HATE the American press and absolutely could not care less why they weren't invited.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 5:17PM

Why do you HATE the American press?

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 5:57PM

Because they are entirely devoid of these qualities:

Journalistic objectivity is a considerable notion within the discussion of journalistic professionalism. Journalistic objectivity may refer to fairness, disinterestedness, factuality, and nonpartisanship, but most often encompasses all of these qualities.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 7:23PM

Don't you ever have a thought of you own.

Now in your own words, what are you talking about?

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 7:25PM

Because they are entirely devoid of objectivity.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 9:47PM

How can you say that, when in many press reports, you can see Trump, his administration and the Russians in action for yourself. Why do you find it hard to believe Trump?

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 10:50PM

It doesn't sound like you understand what it takes for a report to be objective. Or maybe you just don't care.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 11:04PM

How do you get out of that, from this question: Why do you find it hard to believe Trump?

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 11:59PM

You asked two questions Ron, and I answered the first one. What do you mean, I find it hard to believe Trump?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 8:20AM

1. In my reply you was a statement, saying How can you say that, when in many press reports, you can see Trump, his administration and the Russians in action for yourself. "THAT WAS NOT A QUESTION"

2. My question to you was: "Why do you find it hard to believe Trump?" THAT IS THE QUESTION.

Now to answer your question: Trump told reporters one day after revelations that he revealed highly classified intelligence to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in an Oval Office session last week.

"As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety," Trump said in a pair of tweets. "Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism."

These are words from what Trump told reports, to hell with any LEAKS, the leak is right here, TRUMP is handing out highly classified intelligence, like it is candy.

This is what I mean by "Why do you find it hard to believe Trump?" I can't make this stuff up!!! Each morning when I weak up, their is more revealing new, Breaking News and this is happening before our eye's because he feels he had the right to do so.

He tweed with: "As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining...."

Can you believe that?









Steve Williams Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 8:31AM

"How can you say" is a question.

Steve Williams Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 8:36AM

Definition of how
1
a : in what manner or way How did you two meet each other? How did he die? How do you know that?
b : for what reason : why How would I know if it's going to rain or not?
c : with what meaning : to what effect How are we to interpret such behavior?
d : by what name or title
How art thou called? — William Shakespeare
2
: to what degree or extent How much longer do we have to wait? I don't know how old she is.
3
: in what state or condition How are you? How do you feel?
4
: at what price
how a score of ewes now — Shakespeare

Steve Williams Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 8:50AM

President Trump said "facts pertaining to." He didn't say a thing about if they were or were not "highly classified." McMaster specifically said they would not discuss their classification.

Steve Williams Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 8:56AM

Now that I know you're talking about those two tweets, I don't find it hard to believe Trump, about those two tweets.

Steve Williams Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 9:00AM

Here's another one I believe:

May 16
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
I have been asking Director Comey & others, from the beginning of my administration, to find the LEAKERS in the intelligence community.....

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 10:40AM

Trump tweeted himself this information: "As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety," Trump said in a pair of tweets. "Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism."

Can you believe That Steven?

Steve Williams Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 3:55PM

I think that's what I said Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, May 17th 2017 at 5:01PM

No you are focus on LEAKERS, when the main event is around Trump and his connection to the Kremlin.

Steve Williams Thursday, May 18th 2017 at 1:50AM

That's all I care about Ron. That's the Constitutional Crisis. The Leaks.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, May 18th 2017 at 7:26AM

Then keep your eyes on Mike Flynn and Donald Trump giving classified intelligence to the Russian's . "Why do you find it hard to believe Trump?"

Here's what he said: "As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety," Trump said in a pair of tweets. "Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism."

What else did he give the Russians? We will stop here and talk about things which was reported.
