Oval Office (May 15, 2017) Three Men and Secret Spilled
(Also, I fired Comey last week. Lavrov: Ho Lee Sheet)
From the Washington Post (May
15, 2017) – the White House (in the Oval Office): Trump meets with Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak two-on-one with no
reporters or other Americans in the office only Russian translator.
President
Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister
and ambassador in a White House meeting according to current and
former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical
source of intelligence on the Islamic State.
The information the president relayed had been
provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement
considered so sensitive that details
have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S.
government, officials said.
The partner had not given the United States
permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s
decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the
inner workings of the Islamic State.
After Trump’s meeting, senior White House
officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the NSA.
“This is
code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using
terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by
American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian
ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”
The info: One day after dismissing Comey,
Trump welcomed Lavrov and Kislyak — himself a key figure in earlier Russia
controversies — into the Oval Office.
It was during that meeting, officials
said, that Trump went off script and began describing details of an Islamic
State terrorist threat related
to the use of laptop computers on aircraft.
My 2
cents: A simple logical question: Who will pull Trump’s security clearance – you know the one
uses to he shoot off his mouth to the Russians …
By all standards and reports the info was
extremely classified and not for release and especially to an adversary
– the Russians for Christ’s sake.
We are on the edge of total national insanity under
Trump – wake up, America and more now since 2016 is under election attack … related from here is the latest on their efforts to hack GOP allies
and 2018 already, also.
Utter insanity – stay tuned – we have this kind of
crazy news daily and you know what: Trump thrives on the attention – he needs
it – he has to have it constantly to feel needed and useful … yeah, right, but
useful to whom?
Thanks for stopping by.
