Jeeze!
This just in from the Washington Post: Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador.
Remember when the FBI and CIA were reluctant to give Trump the full intelligence briefings because they were afraid he’d forget what ‘secret’ meant and blurt out something horrifically damaging later? Remember how offended Trump was that he might not be getting the full scoop?
And now the Post reports that he’s done exactly that, revealing secrets that weren’t his to tell to exactly the wrong people to receive it.
If it’s true, it really is as bad as it sounds.
UPDATE: I saw National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster’s statement. It was a classic non-denial, where he categorically denied stuff that nobody had accused Trump of doing. He avoided everything the Post (and now the New York Times) say Trump did.
Little-man Trump bragged about how much he knew about an upcoming ISIS action. He mentioned the city they were planning to hit. That was it, but it was enough. From that, they can figure out which ally told us, and how they found out.
In my Administration, I am going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law.

Apparently, Donald Trump isn’t just anyone.
