He can declassify any intel from US sources, but the stuff handed to the Russians was courtesy of the Isrealis and thus, off limits. Even if it _was_ legal, the effect will be dry up that source (to say nothing of burning the agent). Sad. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Sean Spicer now won’t confirm whether or not Trump is recording his conversations. I’m calling it: this is now officially Trumpgate. Not to worry. Vladimir Putin (Trump’s pal) says that he would be more than pleased to release transcripts of the talk between Trump and his foreign minister (the one that American media were forbidden to attend. I’m sure that the Russian transcript will show that Trump did not reveal any American top secret information. You can trust them. This is an epic troll on Putin’s part. ---

You can think whatever point you want, but classified information doesn’t become declassified because it is given to people without clearance. ---
