A brief look back: Oval Office, May 10, 2017

Donald Trump shared information with Russian government officials about the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) that was so highly classified, its disclosure could threaten future operations and a key source of intelligence, according to The Washington Post.

Trump divulged the information in a May 10 meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, the Post said, citing anonymous former and current U.S. officials. As he did so, the president reportedly boasted: "I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day."

Robert S. Mueller III gets better intel, motherfucker.

I don't mean that it's bad to hide info from Trump. The intelligence community is doing that to protect the world from Trump.

What's bad is that they'll never go back to sharing information with presidents. The CIA and the rest of the intelligence community are on their own now, and that has very ominous implications for the future.

Some things that Trump broke will never be fixed.
