    During a statement to reporters on Monday, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster stated Washington Post report that President Trump revealed highly classified information to Russia’s foreign minister is “false.”

    McMaster said, “The story that came out tonight, as reported is false. The president and the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation. At no time, at no time, were intelligence sources or methods discussed, and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. Two other senior officials who were present, including the secretary of state, remember the meeting the same way and have said so. Their on the record accounts should outweigh those of anonymous sources. And I was in the room, it didn’t happen.”

      The fact that you and Dimbulb are so quick to buy into a fake news story is hilariously ironic.

So what does Trump hypothetically giving classified information to the Russians have to do with the steaming pile of manure you tried to pass off as "news"? There's nothing to be interested in here, other than to just make yet another amusing observation that for a super smart atheist with a really high IQ who is also a scientist you seem surprisingly easy to dupe.
        General McMaster's denial was not related to the actual Washington Post story. What he denied was that Trump gave away the sources of the info. whereas the allegation is that Trump shared some information about laptops on planes which potentially put a source at risk and was given to the US by an ally who did not give consent for that to be shared with Russia. It's just incredible that the under educated ignoramuses who support Trump defend him come what may.

          So, unnamed sources versus people who have gone on record to say the report is false. Who should we believe? That seems to be a tough question for low-info morons.

              If he gave the Russians classified information I hope he got paid for it.

              Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

                White House officials involved in the meeting said Trump discussed only shared concerns about terrorism.

                “The president and the foreign minister reviewed common threats from terrorist organizations to include threats to aviation,” said H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser, who participated in the meeting. “At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed, and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly.”

                McMaster reiterated his statement in a subsequent appearance at the White House on Monday and described the Washington Post story as “false,” but did not take any questions.


                They even reported it as false in their very own article. Nice way to cover their butts.

                  Undisclosed sources at Theologyweb stated that Starlight once again posted fake news and JimL fell for it hook, line and sinker.

                    The problem for you is that it's very evident that nothing Trump says or does can be OK in your eyes, and every negative report about him is definitely true.

                    Trump may be many things, many bad things, but you have zero credibility or objectivity when it comes to analysing his actions and words.

                    tl;dr: Your blind hatred of Trump robs you of any credibility. Which means that no-one cares what you say or think about him, or about them.

                          Trump fires Comey. Liberals say, "Why did you fire him? Is it because he got too close to the truth?"

                          But if Trump didn't fire Comey, liberals would say, "Why didn't you fire him? Is it because he influenced the election in your favor?" which was the case they've been making for months.

                            While several of those present have provided unqualified rebuttals of the anonymous, unsubstantiated claim that Trump provided classified information to the Russians what is beyond any doubt is just this last June Obama did give some information to the Russians (through the Syrians) concerning some of the things happening on the ground there. As a result the Russians attacked some of those sites of our allies.
