It was just "light treason"
President Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian officials during a meeting last week at the White House, two US officials confirmed to BuzzFeed News.
The meeting included Russia's ambassador, Sergei Kislyak, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The disclosures were first reported by The Washington Post, which cited current and former US officials who said the information was considered so sensitive that some details had been withheld from American allies and was restricted within the US government.
Two US officials who were briefed on Trump’s disclosures last week confirmed to BuzzFeed News the veracity of the Post report, with one official noting that “it’s far worse than what has already been reported.”

You're right. Donald Trump is actively trying to undermine the united states and sway the balance of power towards Russia and China.
If Hillary is any indication of how this works, the charges won't stick. Next. -

the President can declassify any document. Sounds like he did just that last week, albeit inadvertently.
Sounds like he was pretty foolish and we are unlikely to have a great intelligence-sharing relationship in the future with whatever country and whatever source gave us that intel on ISIL, though.
Republicans will never impeach.

I love it. Shoot from the hip. It's about time international politics got real. What is that country going to do? Ostracize the USA and never receive Intel from us again?AZDuck said:

Grounds for impeachment are political (bullshit). They're whatever Congress says they are. Basically, Congress is supposed to act as a check on the executive when they fuck up badly.GrundleStiltzkin said:

But, the Constitution sez "treason, bribery, and high crimes and misdemeanors."
A decent case can be made for at least two of those four, if not all four. -
I recall buying a pitcher and drinking one glass of beer.
“The White House has got to do something soon to bring itself under control and in order,” Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee and the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, told reporters, adding, “It’s got to happen.”
“Obviously they’re in a downward spiral right now and they’ve got to figure out a way to come to grips with all that’s happening,” Mr. Corker said.
Asked about the larger effect of the disclosure, Mr. Corker said, “To compromise a source is something that you just don’t do, and that’s why we keep the information that we get from intelligence sources so close as to prevent that from happening.”
Out of his element, in over his head. -

Some random blogger is your source.HoustonHusky said: -
Secy of State Tillerson said it happened, but that Trump did not reveal "sources and methods."
Of course WaPo and Buzzfeed say that Trump gave out the city in Syria where the source is located, which would tantamount to giving out the source, when talking to the Russians.
If only there was a tape recorder in the White House that could resolve this conundrum!
According to Sean Spicer, the existence of such equipment can be neither "confirmed or denied." -

I can't read the WaPo story anymore, because fucking paywall. But I thought they were the ones who talked to some spooks (no racist) who said that Trump gave up the location of the source.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Trump provided the Russians classified information from a confidential source (without revealing the source or means of the information). It was intelligence the us hasn't even shared with its allies given the sensitivity of the source. National security staff who heard trumps blathering immediately notified the CIA and NSA to tell them a siyrce's information had been compromised.AZDuck said:

Fuck the President.
W was a moron and I disagreed with many of his policies but he was not a threat to the republic.
BHO was manipulative and a damn good bullshitter and I disagreed with many of his policies, but he was not a threat to the republic.
This fucking guy is wholly unfit and needs to be removed ASAFP. -

The Post is withholding most plot details, including the name of the city, at the urging of officials who warned that revealing them would jeopardize important intelligence capabilities.AZDuck said:

So basically the liberal rag ('lol') WaPo is better at withholding classified info than the President. -
Every 10 days he does something very fuctarded. I just hope the Republicans pass the hearing protection act before they're voted out.

U.S. is due for a minor recession. Inflation is getting too obvious IMO. His approval ratings will be interesting when we enter the next recession. When his ratings hit the high 20s, I suspect he's going to start getting the impeachment tsunami. Definitely a 1 term guy. -

I really don't think he did this on purpose he's definitely dumb enough to just share national secrets offhand
