Gen. McMaster Admits Trump Impulsively Leaked Info to Russians Without Knowing Where it Came From

Maggie Haberman‏ @maggieNYT 16m16 minutes ago
****McMaster says Trump wasn't briefed on the source of the information.****


Max Boot‏ @MaxBoot 14m14 minutes ago
So McMasters' story is that Trump's release of info was "wholly appropriate" yet Trump had no idea where it came from. So how did he decide?

Jesse Lehrich‏ @JesseLehrich 12m12 minutes ago
so @POTUS shared highly sensitive intel with our adversary off-the-cuff, AND had no idea where it came from?

what the hell are they doing?

What bums me out is that i am almost more afraid of what the torch carrying 'mericans in the Carolinas will do than what Russia will do next. Vlad must be diggin' on this whole scene.
