Trump Hates Leaks, Then He Tweets a Classified Leak in a Fox News Story

[Lewdog]

All the Trump supporters on this forum keep complaining about leaks that make Trump look bad... and say how they need to be found and prosecuted... and what do we have here? Someone leaked classified information to Fox News about U.S. satellites tracking North Korean cruise missile deployments, and what does Trump do? Does he complain about Fox News writing a story with leaked classified information in it? No, he TWEETS the story! So is he going to subpoena the writers at Fox News like he complains about other news outlets?

"President Trump tweeted out a link to a Fox News report about North Korea that contained what U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said was “classified” information. Haley said on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday that she could not discuss the story."

Trump tweets link to Fox News story based on 'classified' intelligence

The leak was already done by subverts, all President Trump is doing is calling out the fact that leaks are still happening.

It's Dems like Maxine Waters that are actually encouraging subverts in the government with security clearances to keep leaking. Yes, she actually wants people to commit espionage.

I doubt you've started many threads about Maxine Waters promoting espionage and treason.

Sorry, but when someone leaks something, you don't tweet about it and thus promote it. If he was really denouncing the leak, he would have commented on it, which he didn't.

The President can do that.

Trump Can Declassify Intelligence As President, But ... - The Daily Caller

May 15, 2017 - President Donald Trump's alleged revelation of classified material to Russian officials last week ... POTUS can declassify anything he wants.


Executive Order 12356, signed by former President Ronald Reagan in 1982, gave the authority to the official who originally classified information to declassify it. Former President Barack Obama followed up that order with E.O. 13526 in 2009, which adjusted some of the earlier order’s provisions.

The President can do that.

Are you saying he leaked the info to Fox News?

So, he tweeted something that was already out there in the public domain. Got it.

What you should be upset about is the initial leak.

So you miss the point? Trump didn't complain about the leak or Fox News writing a story about it... in the same week that Sessions talked about sending subpoenas to reporters who use anonymous leaks.

I'm not surprised that the Trump supporters here can't grasp the hypocrisy.
