He literally gave a two minute press conference, reading off of a note card, and took no questions. I do not believe one word that came out of McMaster's mouth.

Why blindly trust wapo, a left-leaning newspaper, but automatically refuse to respect the word of perhaps the most respected person in the trump admin?

HR mcmaster's hire was lauded by almost everybody.

All media outlets that report on stories you people don't like are left leaning and biased in your view.

deflection! I'm not saying you shouldn't think it is credible, but wapo has been wrong in the past. The "comey asked for more money before firing" was a lie, as was the story that vermont't utility system was hacked by russia.

You think a respected and honorable military guy like mcmaster is going to destroy his image like that?

It's not just the Washington post which has reported on and confirmed this story. Get your head out of your ass.

Yes, I do believe that people associated with this garbage administration including McMaster are willing to jeopardize their public image in a vein attempt to stay in Trump's ear.

Why should we automatically value the "statements" of leakers in the intel community, both current and retired, who likely hate the fact that trump is in office? Don't you think it is at least partly the case that trump's "anti-establishment" and total political outsider status irks these people to their core ,and they will go to the papers and fling anything to the wall to hope it sticks. What do you have to lose? You can't be punished for leaking fake stuff.

By far, the biggest story of the trump WH so far is the intel community's soft war against him. Whether or not it is justified is up to you, but it's definitely a thing. They want him out, and there will be leaks every week like this for the rest of his days in the WH.

Bingo! The leftist hacks here believe because they want to believe. It's like a two year old with the tooth fairy. They think if they believe hard enough their fantasies will come true.

On another note, people with actually credibility need to think long and hard about working for this fool. Seriously, who has come out with their rep intact after working for/with this guy?

Sure you can... the people you're leaking to will stop trusting you, so if you have something real to leak, it may not be believed. There's no motive for leaking fake stuff.

We don't know if the intel community is going all out against Trump. We just don't know. ShadowBrokers has gigabytes of their data, and may be blackmailing them to keep Trump in office.

By the way, why wouldn't we want to share intel with Russia about ISIS? Russia is one of the few nations that has actually bombed ISIS. I thought leftists were all about global cooperation?

It is WaPo and BuzzFeed, no?


1 McMaster is patriot. No doubt.
2 Why he would do it if he thought that it would be that serious (and would result in impeaching Trump)?

It's a sad day for America, and a sad few years in American politics. That is all.

Delete your account. You are pathetic.

New York Times has confirmed it as well.

Yes. You are right.

1. Trump is not particularly "anti-establishment" when you look at most members within his circle. Who would be classified as being other than part of the typical GOP establishment? Bannon?

2. They want him out because he's clearly a threat to national security. The Deep state isn't incentivized by large money financial interests the way that the business elite in Washington are. Their duty is to protect the United States and Trump's actions thus far indicates that he has no serious interest in reforming his unhinged habits that have caused our allies to become concerned and have further undermined trust in our civic institutions.

And the NYT and various other credible references mentioned just in this thread alone. McMaster is likely betting on the fact that the GOP leadership are spineless partisan hacks and will do anything to keep Trump in office even if he screws up horribly.

you wouldn't want share classified intel from one of your allies, collected through some possible mole, which wasn't even shared with US allies at this point, with a strategic enemy, no. Smiley

The WashingtonCompost is lying again. The information about the laptops has been public since April. The media was screeching about the laptop ban for weeks. Moreover, if this information was really so secret, then the Compost reporters are accessories to felony leaking as whoever told this to the reporters would necessarily be revealing "highly classified information."

The Compost and the retards who believe what is spewed there really need to figure out something new.

Most of their bombings have been targeted at non-ISIS rebels.

According to the president of the USA, Russia is probably an ally (especially on bombing sh**t out of ISIS) Tongue
