    perhaps that explains why the meeting between the useful idiot and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak was closed to US media.

    no credibility.

    the WH had previously denied any meetings w the Russian embassador.

    When Russian Legend lauds you that's probably a sign.

    National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster just came out on the lawn and basically said the whole thing is untrue.

    I want to believe him, but 98% of what Trump and his surrogates say is 100% horses***.

    The administration that leaks like a sieve and issues contradicting statements almost every day said this is false. Mea culpa.

    Looks to be another example of anonymous leaks leading to the media pushing yet another fake scandal.....it's this kind of BS that is going to lead to a 2nd term for Trump. They simply have to stop this stuff, I was talking about it in another thread, the more fake scandals are pushed, the less anyone is going to believe it if they actually stumble onto something with legs.

    Can you imagine how paranoid Trump is now? I feel sorry for his admin and the loyalty tests they are about to have to undergo.

    Definitely getting tired of all this.
    If he stuffed up, something needs to be done but yet again, the whole issue gets regirgitated for our enjoyment for 10 minutes on prime-time news on every network.
    The Russians may be pulling the strings and just sitting back with some borsch and vodka on their sofas laffing their guts out.

    Apparently you have reading comprehension which the White House is hoping their followers all have so they think this is fake news if they don't actually read the piece.

    The White Houses' language here is key. They say "sources and methods were not discussed" which the WAPO story CLEARLY says "sources and methods were not discussed.

    However that doesn't mean that it wasn't still classified because it is highly dangerous information (the codes) that the Russians could reverse engineer and do harm to our military and our allies in harms way.

    This is also about ISIS intelligence in Syria. By all accounts we are at war with Russia when it comes to Assad and Syria who might as well be the Russians themselves.

    If you think this is not a big deal than you are an idiot.

    Has it occurred to you it may have been something to do with Syria?
    Let's wait and see before we adopt Russian justice.

    It's telling that you believe anonymous rumors even when they don't pan out. It's pretty clear that your desire to believe in the faux scandal of the day is getting in the way of logic here.

    Do the US and Russia have shared interests in Syria?

    On paper? Yes. Allegedly they are both against ISIS.

    Read OP's post

    " U.S. officials, who said that Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State..."

    Who do you think you're fooling ?


    Also WP had no source inside the meeting. That's all you need to know FAKE NEWS.

    Fox News isn't covering this at the moment, I know because I just checked, so I understand how you may not think that this is a big deal.

    I'm not saying that is has to be true. I will say that the WP takes its credibility extremely seriously for a variety of reasons.


    It seems like one of the biggest risks here is it a US operative has already been killed bc this info reached ISIS. Politics aside, really hope that isn't the case. Getting someone into ISIS must have been very hard.

    just to clarify

    WaPo's reporting was on "the highly classified info that Agent Orange had provided his Russian handlers",

    not the source of the classified info.

    McMaster was defending that Trump did not give up "the source of the highly classified info",
    which was not what WaPo had reported.
