The same question to you...

Can you, please, explain to me what is new (other than semantics) in Trump's tweet comparing to McMaster's/Tillerson's explanation?

easy.

mcmaster didn't comment on the news reports and read something which sounded like a denial for low-info voters.

trump officially confirmed the reports.

Horrible if true. But as far as I understand, it would be not illegal since the president as commander-in-chief is permitted to declassify secret information. Even if it’s politically very unprofessional and stupid. But I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Drumpf has proven several times that he has no competence and is in no ways up to the job.

it is true as we learned this morning.

McMaster:


"It is wholly appropriate for the president to share whatever information he thinks is necessary."

McMaster says Pres Trump conversation with Lavrov was "wholly appropriate" and consistent with routine sharing of information.

McMaster on which city Trump revealed: "It was nothing that you would not know from open source reporting as a source of concern."

McMaster says he was in the room with the President and Russians and nobody felt the conversation was inappropriate. So who is WAPO leaker

When did @realDonaldTrump decide to tell Russia about info? McMaster: "He made the decision in the context of the convo.” Off the cuff.

NBC confirms that it was Israel, according to three sources.

I haven't been online in a while. What was Israel, with regard to this story?

the nation whose intel trump has given away.

Yeah, so apparently they don't have a recording, they have transcripts (translation error).

even if they would have a recording, releasing it would undermine trump too much.

[ApatheticAustrian]

LOL
