Democrats and the media reacted hysterically to the news, after intelligence officials revealed details about Trump’s discussion with the Russians in the Oval Office. The information pertained to details of the ongoing fight with the ISIS terrorist threat.

The information pertained to details of the ongoing fight with the ISIS terrorist threat. “As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism.” An official speaking to the Washington Post said that Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.” Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 3. #3. To: cranky (#0) "For almost anyone in government, discussing such matters with an adversary would be illegal. As president, Trump has broad authority to declassify government secrets, making it unlikely that his disclosures broke the law." The MSM is confusing the President -- who can declassify government secrets -- with, say, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who cannot. misterwhite  posted on  2017-05-16   9:30:26 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 3. #5.

To me, it comes down to anonymous sources vs on the record sources and which i choose to believe. cranky  posted on  2017-05-16 09:35:50 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #11. To: misterwhite (#3) Exactly right. The President is at the apex of the pyramid. The PURPOSE of intelligence collection and processing is to get him, the final decider, the most complete picture that can be gotten of reality, so that he can decide what to do. Every OTHER cog in the machine of producing that information has a requirement to keep it secret. But the President is the ultimate consumer of the information, and the ultimate decider of natonal interest. That is why being elected the Chief Executive Officer and Commander-in-Chief MEANS. It also means that if he decides, in his sovereign authority and not subject to any oversight other than the people's opinion in the next election, that Top Secret information is to be shared with an adversary, even an enemy, for a strategic purpose that he thinks is of benefit to the US and its allies, he has the plenary and unreviewable authority to do that. For anybody ELSE to do that would be a breach of national security, but the President is the ultimate decider of what national security IS. It is true that exposing intelligence methods can result in the deaths of people abroad who help us. It is unwise to destroy our assets for trivial reasons. BUT the President has the authority to expose people to death if he decides that the national interest is served. It's an awesome and terrible responsibility, but there are times in international relations, and in the pursuit of national interest, when leaders DO sacrifice pawns. The Doolittle Raid is an example of an intentional suicide mission. All of the planes with all of the crews were sent on a mission from which it was certain they would not return. It was hoped that the crews would be able to escape through assistance in parts of China, and some did, but others died, and the President knew they were going to die when he gave the order to launch the raid. Trump didn't just get our spies killed, but he has the authority to take decisions that expose our spies to death, if he thinks it is in the national interest. There is not a law that blocks him. HE DECIDES. (Which is a very good reason for a thinking person to never get involved in that line of work.)
