Time will tell if this story is accurate, but The Washington Post is withholding most plot details, including the name of the city, at the urging of officials who warned that revealing them would jeopardize important intelligence capabilities. makes me think there is actual evidence that he did this --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead "I'm Mary Poppins ya'll!" ...

Given that Trump seems to speak without filter and doesn't distinguish between classified and unclassified information I would not find this to be surprising.

It's the Washington Post, which didn't have a lot of credibility before Jeff Bezos took it over and went far worse afterward when it became a vehicle to attack Hillary's enemies. However, it would be hilarious if true and, since ISIS is against Russia as well, I'm not sure what potential damage could be a concern. SushiSquid posted... RedPixel posted...... I'd take it with a grain of salt at this point-- Washington Post is a notorious liberal news source... They do lie. The Washington Post has been forced to give back Pulitzer Prizes after it was revealed that their journalists made up entire stories. Their fact-checking department is as bad as the Rolling Stone's, so anything a journalist claims just goes through. MICHALECOLE posted... Hercular1 posted...SushiSquid posted...RedPixel posted...... I'd take it with a grain of salt at this point-- Washington Post is a notorious liberal news source... It's only the left that people don't scrutinize. You have to rely on social media rather than conventional media for fact-checking there, such as when the Rolling Stone's rape story was debunked which was something that no media source bothered looking into and just reported verbatim. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

Thank goodness Zeus the liberal is here Left-leaning centrist. jedirood posted... Leave it to Zeus to defend Trump no matter what. Because apparently an alleged second-hand account of information that may or may not have been transmitted from a publication with a clear bias against both of said parties directly correlates to an admission from a primary source. Granted, if WaPo ran a story about Donald Trump confessing to murder, you would buy into that even when no evidence turned up about anybody being killed and everybody involved refused making any such statement. knivesX2004 posted... It's on NPR now so you need to step it up senpai. Tried looking it up, found nothing and have to conclude you made the whole thing up. I did, however, find that the New York Post also ran a story.... which cited WaPo as its sole source. If CNN ran a story from The Other 98%, that story wouldn't magically become more valid simply by virtue of CNN running it if no extra legwork was performed. (EDIT: Oh, and apparently CNN has retweeted this story with, you guessed it, WaPo being the sole source for the claim!) --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!

Time will tell Zeus. In the opening post I clearly point out that this is an unverified claim.
Yet you insist it isn't true because you don't like the outlet reporting the story, despite the fact that you have nothing more credible to dispute it.

My point is, you immediately jump on the Trump defense, even if multiple sources say the opposite. You've been proven wrong before, but you're too full of pride to ever admit it.

Trump administration was denying this. Trump himself is now confirming it and defending his right to share classified information. And, strangely, all the conservatives who were screaming themselves breathless about what a shocking security breach Hilary Clinton's e-mail server was are nowhere to be found. It's almost like they don't think that literally revealing highly classified information to the Russians is a big deal as long as it's their guy doing it, but that would be grossly hypocritical of them, so I'm sure there's another explanation. OhhhJa posted... Lmao... once again, it turns out the left's rabid desperation to find a scandal backfires in their face. Because Trump's now admitted to it? I mean, Paul Ryan is demanding an explanation for what happened and he's not exactly the most liberal guy in Washington. The fact that Trump did nothing illegal - which has been acknowledged from the beginning - does not make this any less of a scandal. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
