    ( whom we do still cooperate on terrorism -believe it or not) that the info was valid - about ISIS trying to down airplanes by smuggling bombs onboard, concealed in laptop computers-

    He should have gotten Israeli permission - yes- but this was not about "boasting"

    Smarter people than me, including plenty of republicans, think what he did was a big mistake. I defer to their judgment.

    This sums it up for me: " Foreign reaction was overwhelmingly negative. A top European intelligence official stated that sharing of intelligence with the United States would cease if the country confirms that Trump did indeed share classified information with Russia, because sharing intel with Americans while Trump is president could put their sources at risk."

    It was DEFINITELY boasting. Trump wasn't thinking; he usually doesn't. This is his m.o. - it's more about ego than common sense.

    when doing so he supposedly revealed the Israeli sources.

    POTUS can classify/de-classify at will
    I am sure that is what your rightwing "news" sources instructed you to believe, aka parrot.

    You also spent significant time agreeing with trump that Russian interference in our elections was a "hoax", fake news, made up by the Democrats.

    So I am not prepared to accept anything you claim at face falue.

    But that's irrelevant to what we're discussing here. Trump also asserted that the idea of Russian interference itself was a hoax. He was wrong.

    The post-truth era has taken hold, and is becoming the new reality. But some of us will always be here to remind others of what is real & what isn't.
    Can ‘wiretapping’ be used in a colloquial sense?

    Yes or no. No evasions.

    Yes.

    Do you think that's how Trump was using it?

    Yes or no. No evasions.

    And you're evading by bringing in something that's off-topic, btw. You're not addressing what Trump actually said about Russian interference.

    Yes. Colloquialisms are an excellent means of communication on Twitter where characters and space are limited.

    Now, that wasn’t so hard was it?

    Well, you're wrong. Remember the rest of his comment - that Obama was a "bad guy" because of it?

    It was crystal clear what his accusation was.

    Well, that Obama is guilty of ‘wiretapping’ Trump is a very real possibility. To anyone who has been paying attention the last six weeks.

    Trump stated it as fact. Repeatedly.

    Why?

    He always shoots his mouth off w/out knowing anything. Same thing the past few days w/ the FBI and how the investigation caused them to miss the warning signs of the school shooting. He has absolutely no proof of that whatsoever, but that doesn't stop him from spewing his nonsense.

    Trump didn't have any inside info about "bad guy" Obama wiretapping him. You guys could really give a clinic at this point on excuse-making for his constant lying.

    I don’t know how you can say that.

    They used an unverified Dossier to trick the FISA court *so they could surveil* people in Trump’s campaign. That may not be literally wiretapping but it’s awfully fricking close to it.
