Updated News: Highly Classified Information Mishandling Tracker

Breaking WaPo report on CNBC...
According to several current and former U.S. Intel Officials, President Trump apparently revealed to the Russian Foreign Minister during his visit last week, the location where an ISIS plot was uncovered which will give the Russians insight into the collection methods.
Worse yet the collection was by an ally who has not given permission for us to share their intel with Russia.
Oops... Now that's what I call a leak...
I believe I had this... was just about 10 months early.

Here's the WaPo report:
Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador
By Greg Miller and Greg Jaffe May 15 at 5:01 PM
President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.
The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.
The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.“This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”
The revelation comes as the president faces rising legal and political pressure on multiple Russia-related fronts. Last week, he fired FBI Director James B. Comey in the midst of a bureau investigation into possible links between the Trump campaign and Moscow. Trump’s subsequent admission that his decision was driven by “this Russia thing” was seen by critics as attempted obstruction of justice.
One day after dismissing Comey, Trump welcomed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak — a key figure in earlier Russia controversies — into the Oval Office. It was during that meeting, officials said, that Trump went off script and began describing details of an Islamic State terrorist threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft.
Both Sec of State Tillerson and Nat Security Advisor McMasters have issued essentially identical denials without specifically addressing the only information the Post is reporting that Trump handed to the Russians.
At the request of our intelligence agencies, The Post is responsibly withholding the publication of details they have, including the location information their report states Trump revealed.

There were three eyewitnesses to what was said in the oval office and fake news Wapo doesn't even interview them??? Bad journalism but journalism is dead anyway.
If these unnamed sources for Wapo are now out of the government (former Obama administration employees) why don't they come out of the shadows and give us their names? they are out of government now so why do they want to stay anonymous?
National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster: WaPo Story is ‘False’ [VIDEO]Responding to a story from a leading member of the Democrat Media Complex, the Washington Post, which quoted anonymous sources claiming that President Donald Trump revealed “highly classified information” to Russia about ISIS, a common enemy, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster gave a press briefing on Monday calling the story “false,” and said it “didn’t happen.”
McMaster said that not only does his account of the meeting between the president and the Russian foreign minister make the WaPo story false, but also according to to the account of two other senior officials and the secretary of state who were also present.

Fake news.
As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining....
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump ...to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism.
I'm sorry, did you guys say something?
I'll be back to check the spin later...
Meanwhile here's a riddle: How many staffers can President Trump fit under his bus?
-
The only thing scary here is that some punk leaked information to the Washington Post. Hopefully they catch and prosecute them.
-
Running stories like this from anonymous sources and not even speaking to the eyewitnesses in the room is the reason why Wapo is just more fake news.
-
So Trump tells the Russkies that ISIS is using laptops as a possible explosive device, and that shitty lib rag is making a major issue of it. When did the dems get so obsessive with national security? Hillary-ious!
-
It's fake news. But who did it for real? Obammy.

Cool... let's hear it.... also get a copy so the FBI can authenticate it's complete and unadulterated.
Also, your lack of concern that Putin has a tape of an Oval Office conversation and acceptance of his word is noted.
Very disappointing, cal.

Hell the dems act like Trump sold the Russians uranium or something!

yeah, Tour is still all wet in Egypt over the uranium deal....

So what did Trump do wrong, if anything at all?
:neutral_face: -
nothing, except he didn't go left.

He betrayed the trust of a cooperative foreign intelligence agency, Israel's Mossad. Even Newsmax says so.

By definition the President cannot be guilty of passing "classified" information since in the act of passing it he "declassifies" it. But in this case it was not our information that was passed. At a minimum what our President passed to the Russians in the Oval Office compromised a Mossad asset deep within ISIS, a plant that likely took years to rise to a position of value.
nothing, except he didn't go left.
Beyond simply reflexive, you've gone nonsensical this time, cal.

Seems the place to keep track...
- Started with the unauthorized reveal of Israeli, ISIS intel to Russians in The Oval (Mossad pissed).
- Added the reveal of two nuclear submarines present off North Korea to the Philippine's President, who later released the info in their account of the conversation (Pentagon pissed).
- Added release of name of Manchester suicide bomber's name to our press while MI5 was still keeping name "secret" during ongoing investigation (British PM Theresa May pissed).
