Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador

[DiogenesLamp]

I agree. We ought to question all elected officials, what they do, what motivates them. Thankfully, many members of this forum do exactly that.

And nothing else.

Lol... what do you do? This is an internet forum, not a body of government.

According to McMaster, Trump had no idea where the information came from, but gave it to the Russians, anyway. 

Sorry, that's not what I call responsible.

Actually, that's not his fault.  If he is going to be given classified information from another country that should not be leaked, he should be briefed on that.

If he had it, he was briefed on it. If he was briefed on it, it will have been in a seperate section - NOT integral to a daily briefing - with the conditions of use included.

Defending the indefensible when it comes to DT seems to be a parlor game here.
Critical thinking has disappeared and been replaced with a cult like thought process.
If we decried that mentality when the left 'believed' Bill Clinton, then how can we justify our own identical attitude towards this president.

By becoming intellectual contortionists, alas.

@Emjay, you do know that I have no idea how to interpret that?  Is is snarky, or is it relief and a desire to move away from bashing someone else or what?  I really don't know.

Sorry, I sure didn't mean to offend you.  Perhaps my remark was a little cryptic.  I just thought it would be a relief to bash a different person for a change.  My bad.

And now instead of getting a clear answer...the reporter gets to fill in the blanks and speculate on their own.

Perfect.

Both sides are enabling each others stupidity.

And you think it's just swell.

I kinda think it's swell also.  There is no way conservatives can get fair treatment from the press.

A well-thought out, reasoned and informed response from Issa would simply have been ignored by the press.

At least he got some play with his gesture.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure.  Sometimes I read something wrong and have to go back and re-read and calm down because I got it wrong the first time.
