(115,585 posts)But they're pissed off about this particular leak only because it's more (and very stark) evidence of how Trump either doesn't read his briefings or ignores them, and how eager he is to curry favor with Putin. If there's any treason going on, it isn't the leak.

(82,849 posts)I wonder if Kelly is the leaker? Naaaah, they'd never be that obvious, would they?

(17,862 posts)I am wondering if this isn't another disinformation campaign. I would hesitate to report on it. My dream would be for Kelly to say it publicly.

(3,335 posts)Trump sneaking around at the G-20 summit meeting in Hamburg Germany, to have secret conversations with his boyfriend Putin not once, but twice without an official interpreter present. Thus the only record of what was said, (or agreed upon) is what the Russian translator says.
Treason Is:
Trump discussing information at one of the highest classification levels during a White House meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. According to the Post, Trump described specific elements of a threat against the United States that the intelligence community obtained from "a key partner," going so far as to identify the specific location from where the threat -- involving laptop computers taken aboard passenger airlines -- was detected. The Post stood by its reporting, and the New York Times reported a similar account soon after the Post.

The White House on Monday denied reports that President Trump disclosed high-level intelligence to Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting last week, saying the conversation covered only a range of common threats and did not include operations not already publicly disclosed.
Speaking to reporters outside the entrance of the West Wing, national security advisor H.R. McMaster said the accounts that he and other officials were present for the meeting with Russia's foreign minister and ambassador to the U.S. "should outweigh" what anonymous sources claim.
"I was in the room. It did not happen," McMaster said in a brief statement.
The Washington Post, citing current and former U.S. officials, first reported that Trump discussed information at one of the highest classification levels during his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

He discussed it while seeming to boast about the quality of information at his disposal as commander in chief.
