White House will be releasing a statement to reporters momentarily. Gee, wonder what they’re gonna say?
I know! Spicer has Been FIRED!
That’ll teach him not to release classified stuff to the Russians.
Politicians who plan to be hypocrites, shouldn’t tweet:
“Individuals who are “extremely careless” with classified information should be denied further access to such info.” - Paul Ryan
Reuters is reporting :
Too bad the Trump Whitehouse has been lying relentlessly for months. A reputation for telling the truth would really come in handy for them right about now.
McConnell, Ryan, Pence and others will be wearing the stench for supporting this administration for a very long time to come. I genuinely believe only the surface has been scratched when it comes to corruption and incompetence, and it will all come out in the wash eventually.
Stranger is right that none of these would do the right thing even if Trump put razor wire around their balls and gave it a hard tug. But I think other Republicans will. Some are right on the brink of breaking with their party. This might just do it.
If not, nothing will.
If I screw up at work, I can’t sleep. But, my screwups are unlikely to end up in history books. I can’t imagine what the hell is motivating these people.

Top story on Foxnews.com right now: “BACK IN THE POLITICAL SPOTLIGHT Clinton launches Onward Together PAC, calls on members to ‘resist’”.
If you scroll down, and avoid the fact that the font is approximately 2500% smaller, you get the mealy mouthed: “Report claims Trump revealed classified info about ISIS to Russians”
Here’s why there isn’t more outrage. It’s because they’re working with different data.
How about this tweet from the Cheeto in Chief:
And this:
Their motivation is the fervent desire to make the United States irrelevant.
The people who voted for Trump were hoping to kick over the hornet’s nest, drain the swamp, and fuck over other people.
They’ve succeeded on one count, and as a result nations are turning their backs on the U.S.
Your two biggest trading partners are China and Canada. They’re spending the rest of the year in talks to eliminate tariffs between themselves.
Canada is about to ratify a trade deal with the EU, and is in talks with Japan and the UK.
Mexico is entering talks with the EU.
When Trump next blurts out that he wants to renegotiate NAFTA, Canada and Mexico will tell him to go right ahead, and hold news conferences saying that shutting down NAFTA will hurt U.S. citizens way more than it’ll hurt Canadians or Mexicans.
This scenario was predicted months ago when it was reported intelligence agencies were holding back Intel because they were worried about this very thing.
What foreign agencies are going to want to share if Trump is going to blab and expose them.
Also, a CT’er might say this was not just incidental stupidity on Trump’s part, but part of his Russian serfdom and that’s why the US press was barred! Why not? It would no longer be that surprising.
Two words: Holy Shit.
And will this make any difference to the spineless Republicans in Congress? No, it will not. The Trump apologists will be clinging to the “It’s not illegal if the president does it” thread.
What in hell is it going to take to keep the USA (and the world) safe from this dangerous idiot?
That’s good, because WaPo did not report that Trump did any of those things. He just gave the Russians information enough that the Russians can glean both of these things.
Good thing we didn’t elect Crooked Hillary and her unsecured email server!
Jeffery Lord would defend Trump even if he were the one that Trump shoots in the middle of 5th Ave.
I think CNN keeps him on for the comedy.
In some ways, I don’t see what the big deal is. This information seemed to be on a “need to know” basis, and the Russians needed to know. I’m sure they asked very politely, yes?
Exactly right. The strategy now is to muddy the waters.
They really don’t give a shit, do they? They’re selling their own country out.
McMaster also said :
I could drive a truck through that…
