Lucky for Trump that Israeli intelligence agencies have such a famously chill and relaxed attitude to their operations and the info collected by them. Quite a relief, really.

What a world we live in, where White House officials defense of the president leaking sensitive information to foreign adversaries would, under ideal circumstances, boil down to "he is too stupid and intellectually lazy to pose a real threat to national security."

Ramesh Ponnuru at the National Review is trying out a novel line: this isn't the worst security breach in US history, so it is ok.

You heard it here first: Trump: not quite as bad as Julius Rosenberg.

Let's remember what happened to the Rosenbergs.

“We're going to win so much. You're going to get tired of winning."


You’re going to say, ‘Please Mr. President, I have a headache. Please, don't win so much. This is getting terrible.’
And I'm going to say, ‘No, we have to make America great again.’
You're gonna say, ‘Please.’
I said, ‘Nope, nope. We're gonna keep winning.’

According to ABC, Trump's disclosure has placed at risk the life of an Israeli spy inside ISIS: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/trumps-disclosure-endangered-spy-inside-isis-israel-officials/story?id=47449304

I'm sorry if this was already covered, but I wasn't sure, so I'm posting it now.
This is a very interesting (video) piece from CNN.
Here is a summary account of the video, and then the link to the 3-1/2 minute if you would like to watch it :

CNN's Jake Tapper reports that in March CNN learned ISIS was developing laptop bombs to be used on international flights and was cautioned by Trump administration officials not to report certain details about the threat, including the city in which the intel was collected. President Trump later revealed that city in a meeting with Russians.

Isn't always the case? That both parts record the meeting?

Yeah, so apparently they don't have a recording, they have transcripts (translation error).

even if they would have a recording, releasing it would undermine trump too much.

So there is no need to execute him. Ramesh has a point there. Smiley

It would be nice if folks just were patient and did not mouth off on this matter, pending the emergence of the full panoply of facts. What's the rush?

So... only after he sticks his name on the Capitol in tacky gold letters while pocketing a kickback?

Probably off-topic, but did not WaPo (indirectly?) put at risk the safety of USA:s citizens?

Only because they wanted to hurt Presidnet Donald J Trump? If they wanted to shed light on the investigation they could send this scoop to FBI (if they didn't already know it), Democrats or even McCain for example.

Do I miss something? Why publish information that may cause this>

NBC confirms that it was Israel, according to three sources.


I don't understand how Atlas members can say that this "incident" does not hurt our national security.
If other nations refuse to share any future intelligence information with us (because of the actions of the orange-haired clown), then this can have serious deadly consequences for many American soldiers, operatives and civilians in coming years.
Am I wrong ?

This this this. Forget the I-word - this is not impeachable. It is a grave danger to our natsec, though, in terms of international trust
