if you can't trust the post to give you guidance about the subject matter than what the hell is the point of reading an article based on a leak anyway... you think they purposely sent us off on a red herring or do you think they were trying to give the reader a bit of guidance. putting a little context into the story the codeword part of the info was probably info that would indicate the sources and methods. seriously don't you know how to read this shit in papers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...4f199710b69_story.html?utm_term=.7bdf34f658a1 If that partner learned we’d given this to Russia without their knowledge or asking first, that is a blow to that relationship,” the U.S. official said. Trump also described measures the United States has taken or is contemplating to counter the threat, including military operations in Iraq and Syria, as well as other steps to tighten security, officials said. The officials would not discuss details of those measures, but the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed that it is considering banning laptops and other large electronic devices from carry-on bags on flights between Europe and the United States. The United States and Britain imposed a similar ban in March affecting travelers passing through airports in 10 Muslim-majority countries.
You are still speculating, why are you assuming only the publicly known parts were discussed? And Wapo never said sources or methods, so this red herring denial has to end. Anyway, this is old news, tune in to the new drama about Comey. Whatever you say about Trump, one thing you have to admit is that he has made politics entertaining. I used to endlessly post on special days like elections and such but nowdays everyday is entertainment. There is no time for anything else. Impeachment would be nice, I prefer to do more productive stuff.
“We need to have immediate classified briefings on what occurred at this meeting so that Congress can at least know as much as Russian leaders.” — Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA), LMFAOOOOOOOO Hahahahahha
Whatever... we have seen you for pages today assume every partial statement could be slanted for your side... but you won't allow me to speculate the post was trying to give us guidance. the last thing I am going to to is vouch for the Post's journalistic efforts.
Look, McMaster could have very very easily ended this speculation - just say no classified info was shared. End of Story So why didn't he do it? Why didn't he end the speculation? Tells you everything
isn't this what McMaster said. "In the context of that discussion, what the president discussed with the foreign minister was wholly appropriate to that conversation and is consistent with the routine sharing of information between the president and any leaders with whom he’s engaged," McMaster said. "It is wholly appropriate for the president to share whatever information he thinks is necessary to advance the security of the American people. That’s what he did." McMaster added that Trump made a spur-of-the-moment decision to share the information in the context of the conversation he was having with the Russian officials. He said that "the president wasn’t even aware of where this information came from" and had not been briefed on the source. So we have no idea whether what Trump did was the right thing or not. But... it surely was not illegal. maybe he should not have done it but maybe he thought it would help save lives.
McMaster was asked point blank whether classified info was shared - he again started talking about 'sources and methods' and ended the press conference. If Hillary had done the same, I am sure you won't be making the same excuses.
I already realize the info was classified. The question is whether it should have been shared or as McMaster said whter it was wholly appropriate to share. I don't know. And I have no desire to vouch for Trump. I am just trying to stop the bullshit democrat spin.
Oh please, is Eric Erickson a Democrat too? http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/e...ngton-post-story-is-pro-trump/article/2623199
