President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said that Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.
I wonder how the "fair and balanced" folks at FOX NEWS will spin this one?
Is this the media's fault too??

Just fire the FBI chief who's investigating Trump - Russian connections. And the next day he's giving Russians classified information (from a foreign source which wasn't yet allowed to be released) in the Oval office....
No orange taint there sir, None at all.
It's as kosher as an orange banana served on a bed of red pork.
Originally posted by mchillMaybe a sign of how much hatred there is toward Trump. Don't get me wrong, I think he is a narssisstic sociopath but it looks like media will jump on anything that looks like it could lead to impeachment. My guess is he will survive and there probably wasn't all that much in the way of classified info given away in the first place.
You're right, let's just ignore this and pass it off as "fake news" 🙄

Originally posted by mchillYou don't even know what was said. The establishment probably has a problem with Trump actually helping Russia fight ISIS. The USA has been secretly arming ISIS in Syria so they can fight ASSAD while bombing ISIS in Iraq.

ISIS in Syria good, ISIS in Iraq (puppet gov) bad.

Originally posted by PhrannyThey didn't arrest Hillary and the FBI said she did release classified and top secret information.
If anyone other than the POTUS had revealed this sensitive information, they would be arrested and likely subject to imprisonment. It is serious.
Last time I checked Hillary isn't President.
The post that was quoted here has been removedIf He puts our service members lives, or the lives of our allies at risk, he most certainly can be impeached. The Senate and Congress have overwhelming power to override his desire for his dictatorship over America. Hell, they impeached Bill Clinton for him letting a 22 year old begging intern give him a blow job. However, it did not work. Trump can easily be impeached and he should have been about 100 days ago for treason against the United States of America.
