More turpitude. More treason. More stupidity. More “look at me!!!”
"…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 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.”
“He didn’t commit treason. And if he did, I didn’t break the law. And if he did break the law, that law is unconstitutional, because that amendment doesn’t apply to him.”
I wonder what malarkey they’ll use for the next part of that nonsense: “…and if it does apply to him…”
I’m reminded of the way Hannibal Lecter used code to send a message from his prison cell telling serial murderer Buffalo Bill Will Graham’s address. (In the movie Manhunter and maybe also in Red Dragon)
Correction: Lecter sent serial murderer Francis Dolarhyde to kill Graham in both movies (both based on the novel Red Dragon). Buffalo Bill was in The Silence of the Lambs.
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.
