More turpitude. More treason. More stupidity. More “look at me!!!” > **[As The GOP Slams Biden On Israel, No One Mentions Trump's Dangerous Intel Leak](https://news.yahoo.com/gop-slams-biden-israel-no-232558214.html)** > > Republicans are piling on Joe Biden about a prisoner swap with Iran and the release of $6 billion of Iran’s money, but they won’t talk about Trump’s 2017 Oval Office leak. "…Less than four months into his term, the coup-attempting former president was bragging to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ambassador Sergei Kislyak during their Oval Office visit about the quality of the briefings he was receiving, and as proof offered details about a secret Israeli intelligence operation into Syria. Israeli intelligence officials were incensed upon learning of the leak because, given Russia’s close ties to Iran and Syria, they had to assume that their local source for the information had been compromised and possibly killed, according to Israeli press accounts at the time. “If indeed Trump, out of innocence or ignorance, leaked information to the Russians, then there is a real danger to sources that it took years to acquire, and to our working methods,” an Israeli intelligence source [told](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/18/opinion/trump-israel-russia-intelligence.html) journalist Ronen Bergman…" "…The May 10, 2017, White House meeting was covered by Russian media, but not American media, and began with Trump telling Lavrov and Kislayak that he had just fired FBI Director James Comey over the agency’s investigation into his contacts with their country ahead of his 2016 election. The Washington Post, which first reported on the incident, quoted an administration official who said that Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.” ---

Obviously this is highly speculative on my part, but it’s possible that between this and the intelligence Trump took with him to Mar-A-Lago and that he might have shared with some of his favorite buddies, this entire ghastly situation in Gaza was caused in part by his actions.

I think pigs was the one after _Silence Of The Lambs_. Not as good, according to reviews. Some authors need to learn when to put down the pen on a character. ---
