Trump Revealed Highly Classified Secrets to Russia Last Week

Is that the newest talking point, that Comey wanting more money for the investigation is a lie? I bet Bannon fed you guys that tripe.
It's not fake news just because trump repeats it constantly to cover his butt.
Maybe American media should have been allowed in the meeting, instead of just Tass. It's pretty sad that we have to get info about our own country from the Russian media.

If this turns out to be 100% true - will you be as dismissive of it?
Sure, Trump has a right to release the info as POTUS...but did the circumstances warrant that? If it turns out he was just boasting - something that would hardly be a surprise - wouldn't you be a bit alarmed about that?

I bet the Justice Department spokeswoman did. Look it up.
Hey I have unnamed sources, too. They tell me that WAPO is making stuff up.
It's fake news when it's so slanted all context is lost, or purposely not published in an attempt to push a narrative instead of publishing for enlightenment

It's easy enough to check out. But I wouldn't put my money on Jeff Sessions' Justice Dept.
Thing you need to comprehend the nuances before you bray about the simple.
I'm wondering about this "code worded" claim also...I know 'read outs' of these meetings would never say that.
There is some bad blood from the IC and Congress..so I'm feeling my way thru this like the rest of us.

That's the spirit. Find out who these unnamed sources feeding them these fake stories are.

Oh, hi
trump isn't just criticizing them; he's trying to delegitimize them. When trump's attacks against the media include labeling the press as the enemy of the people, and singling out individual reporters present at campaign events for personal criticism, that's beyond the pale.
It's SOOO heavily relian on un-named sources and friends of un-named sources...
it meets the definition of gossip.
Oh Lord.
WTF do you think WaPo/NYTimes and the Dems are doing?? Trying to de-legitimize Trump!
why shouldn't he fight back?
I've watched this ALL THRU THE CAMPAIGN, and i've called it out, but now it's out in the open

Two people who were actually there say it's not true. What kind of source is it that knows more than the people who were there? It's such obvious nonsense, where did you get it?
That would be your job, since you're the one who thinks they're fake.

McMasters' comment - and the current WH lockdown - have me inclined to give WaPo the benefit of the doubt.
The Post is not a rag. I seriously doubt a reporter there would make this up, or use sources who were unreliable. The idea of Trump boasting about secrets seems much more plausible.
So, where's the big secret in this statement?

You accept nonsense as fact. You stake the claim, you name the name. Otherwise you're Wilbur.
trump spent 40 years courting the press and pandering to them. trump loved publicity when he was the big fish in a small pond and nobody called him out on his lies. It's a different ball game now.
Every day he makes the choice to lie to the American people, evidently thinking we're all too stupid to fact check. That's when trump began to hate the press, when he was publicly called out on his dishonesty.
