Look at the date of this report:
US bans laptops, iPads in carry-on bags from airports in 8 Islamic countries due to bomb fears
This shit has been in the news for a couple of months.
.
Is that the info Trump gave to the Russians Texas?
According to your links that's what everyone is bitching about. They discussed common terrorist threats including threats to civil aviations. According to McMasters and Tillerson who were in the room, no sources or methods were discussed. What exactly is bad about talking about something that has been in the news since at least March 21st?
.
Trump discussed a specific threat that could have only come from one source. He did this in spite of an agreement to not share the information. While he didn't divulge the source, it wouldn't be hard for the Russians to figure it out. Trump just burned a source and screwed an important ally in the war on ISIS.
Let me ask you something. How do you know it wasn't the leaker who actually exposed the information to WAPO and not Trump to the Russians? This is akin to the old question, when did you stop beating your wife? You can't disprove a negative. According to McMaster this morning Trump wasn't even briefed on the sources and methods, so how could he compromise them? There appears to be a considerable number of seditious people in government, that are trying to bring Trump down, it's time to start cleaning house. These people are accomplishing things Putin could only dream of.
.
What if, and I by no means am advocating so much as the plausibility of this, but what if all this "bumbling Trump", and "colluding with the Russians", and "White House leaks", are no more than a ruse? I mean, what if, all of this is intended to facilitate a narrative that is fake. What if the "intel" supposedly given to the Russians was fake, and part of a disinformation campaign? What if all of this is intended to be a smoke screen? Sure it likely isn't all, but what if at least part of it were a smoke screen? Seriously.
Are we to believe that someone with first had knowledge of this meeting (aka was in the room) leaked this information to the WaPo without the blessing of people VERY close to the President (if not Trump himself)? Really? Are we to believe that someone with (likely) the highest levels of clearance just decided, all on their own, to leak this information (including classified intel) to the WaPo, and the WaPo (because of their love of country) decided to not include the intel? Has ANYONE really thought about it like that? Are we really THAT gullible as a nation?
Maybe it's all true. Maybe I'm way out in left (or right) field here. Maybe I'm not. I certainly hope that I am onto something here, because if this really is what is going on, we have far bigger problems than an incompetent President. Our entire country is at stake if the WaPo story is completely accurate. Think about it. If we, as a nation, rely on the media to keep national secrets, we are in serious trouble.
