President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials to limit access to the remarks to an unusually small number of people, according to three former officials with knowledge of the matter.

The comments, which have not been previously reported, were part of a now-infamous meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State. He also said during the meeting that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the previous day had relieved “great pressure” on him.

4. Drip, drip, drip... All of those hidden convos are going to be reported out one at a time, I think.

Each one that sees the light of day makes it that much more likely that someone who knows about an out-of-bounds event and was disturbed by it feels comfortable telling a reporter -- there's a sense of safety in numbers. It's a lot harder being the first whistleblower or leaker.

6. Jeez, I go away for a half-hour and something else pops up.

I think we are under the "May you live in interesting times" curse. I'm old and I'd now prefer to live out my remaining years in a state of comfortable boredom.
