McMaster just gave the shortest briefing with no questions. Spewing complete BS.

Yeah, it's been 100% proven. No contradictory evidence against and no evidence for.  Yup, you're 100% right.

I do love how neo-con bush republicans are now heroes on this board are worthy of being retweeted on here.

sure they are.

frum, podhoretz, kristol and co never drank the trump kool-aid.

partisanship is the worst drug of them all.

They did much worse. They crafted policy that made the middle east far worse and are responsible for the second most unpopular war in our nation's history.

The ironic thing is, when people like me opposed the Iraq war, we were accused of being unpatriotic. Now that we oppose giving state secrets to the foreign ministers of rival powers, we are accused of being in bed with neocons.

Who the heck would leak this? That's my concern.

As much as I believe Trump could do this, it's hard to believe that anyone in the room would leak this -- at least on this side. It would have only been the upper circle in the room, correct? So wouldn't the leak be more likely to have come from the Russians? I'm totally willing to believe this, but it seems just... a bit off. I don't know.

This is my point. If this hurts our credibility, why would a concerned leaker not just let it kept secret? That way, our allies wouldn't even know about it.

Leaking this is in and of itself a security issue.


same logic: we never should have learned that clinton mishandled classified info because it make us look bad and could be a security issue.

Hate is the cancer that inflicts the heart. Please provide me proof of trump being a traitor.

You essentially are calling for his death (at best solitary confinement).

It is simply unhealthy, dude.

Author of the story at WashPost says McMaster's statement was wordplay to avoid denying the key charge in the story.

There IS an argument that it never should have been made public her server issues. It allowed hackers to explore whether others in gov't were doing similar things and it undermined american public trust in gov't

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.

Also I am baffled that he would do this in a meeting he knows that is widely monitored. This is with the Russians. Is this man that incompetent truly?

Yes!

McMaster lied, no one in the Trump admin can be trusted.  They've betrayed the public trust.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if the WH deliberately fed false stories to the press, only to retract it later, as a means to damaging the latter's credibility. Remember when Trump said he was going offer to amnesty before his SOTU address? Remember, he is the ultimate troll and very dishonest.

Steve Schmidt on MSNBC is now calling the entire White House liars.
