Prez and 3 Senior US Officials there...all 3 senior US official deny the story:
McMaster: "The story as it came out tonight as reported is false". "I was in the room. It didn't happen"
Tillerson: ""During President Trump's meeting with Foreign Minister Lavrov, a broad range of subjects were discussed among which were common efforts and threats regarding counter-terrorism. During that exchange the nature of specific threats were discussed, but they did not discuss sources, methods or military operations,"
Powell: "This story is false.  The president only discussed the common threats that both countries faced."

Yet somehow the WP now has the classified details that it doesn't want to publish on something that wasn't talked about according to the 3 senior US officials present...

    Obama visited the WAPO newsroom to cheers.

    The enemy is within and must be stopped and Trump is on it.

    You two should really check out Trump's tweets.





    He confirmed the story.

    The WH denied things that were not in the WaPo story. Trump admitted to compromising national security sources this morning.

    Just like in 2007-08, there was a 28% who supported GWB to the bitter end, we're seeing the 28% of Troomps. The unpersuadables.

    I'm surprised I'm surprised.

    It takes time to root out the communist plants placed by Obunghole. But it will happen and they will enjoy their stay in the gray bar hotel.

    No he didn't.

    As McMaster just said, the "WP article is based on a false premise", that the "Oval Office talk was wholly appropriate", that Trump did not disclose any information on sources or methods, and that the leaks to the WP itself put "National Security at risky".

    Any idiot knew there was a laptop bomb threat, which is why the Feds just banned laptops on-board airlines from certain countries and are talking about doing it for all of Europe. Telling that to the Russian PM (as we did with other allies) isn't "light treason" as some idiots around here like to think.

    The WaPo didn't say that Trump disclosed any information on sources or methods.

    But still.

    Feel free to show me where the WaPo said Trump disclosed sources or methods.

    I'm willing to view actual facts.

    WaPo didn't. NPR pretty much did.

    I still don't see specific sources or methods being discussed. All I see is that Trump potentially sabotaged America's ability to get intel from allies in the future.

    KOMO, in passing, blahblah, heard the report DRIVING HOME IN MY CAR last night, not going to listen again. But as I recall, it was at least heavily implied that Trump disclosed enough of sources & methods for the Russians to easily reverse it back to actual source.
    Had I been in a train, I could have taken notes. Missed opportunities.

    I've seen that implication as well. There's a difference between that and stating as fact that Trump discussed sources and methods.

    To reiterate:
    What Trump did was perfectly legal and perfectly stupid.
