Trump Leaves McMaster Out to Dry, Says He Had Right to Share Intel

Here’s what I think is going on here. McMaster is the problem. From all the reports I’ve read, he’s trying to strong arm the President into a neocon strategy of war. After all, Bill “fucking” Kristol was elated to find out that McMaster had been selected to become national security director when it happened.

McMaster leaked the intel and then did a presser saying nothing happened, in order to make himself indispensable, since he was rumored to be on the chopping block. Trump fed up with the leaks, came out and said what happened, reminding people that it was his right to share the intel and declassify it.

So what are we talking about here? Why is this considered sensitive intel?

ISIS is scheming about ways to blow up airplanes using laptops. Who in their right mind is interested in keeping that intel secret? I’d like to hear the argument to protect the diabolical strategies of ISIS secret. If we are going to kill ISIS in Syria, which is the whole point of working with Russia, sharing intel that could save civilian lives is hardly ‘top secret’ intel that ‘is keeping us alive’, like some of the Morning Shills are spewing this morning.

McMaster might be on his way out.

The real issue, once again, is the leaks. This bodes extremely poorly for anything getting done in this administration. The permanent government fuckers, the one’s who’ve indebted us to our eyeballs with war expenses and entitlements and have placed us on a path to disaster, do not want Trump in office. Whether I like it or not is immaterial. I think it’s fairly clear where they’re trying to bring this entire Russian myth.

As for how the media is framing this, utterly contemptible, a ploy to distract from the much larger story out there: WHO KILLED SETH RICH? Who did it, you little shits?

Position accordingly.

    Wasn’t this all fake news about 3 minutes ago to you?

    Leaks isn’t the problem. Trump is a f’n idiot. That’s a problem.

      It still is fake news. I think you have a reading comprehension issue.

      What did I say happened? I said the Washpo people, even by their own admission, said the President was within his right to leak the intel. In other words, you can cry and bitch all you want about protecting ISIS, the President was within the law to declassify it.

      Get it?

      Truth is, I was souring on this administration. I only like him again because the left are soiling themselves with nonsense like this.

    Read this slowly because you still don’t seem to get the point, Fly:

    “sharing the information without the express permission of the ally who provided it … could jeopardize a crucial intelligence-sharing relationship.”

        The fake news is the fact that anything at all was done wrong here. Get your head out of your ass.

          From what I understand, what is wrong is you don’t share another countries intel. Especially with Russia.

          Is that not what you understand?

      So keeping ISIS schemes to bring down commercial airlines is a secret worth keeping? Do you let the leftist talking points make up your mind on everything?

      It was his right to declassify it. Say it 100 times and then it will sink in.

    McMaster is on the way out because Roger Stone and InfoWars are all over the conspiracy that he is the leaker.

    And we all know how Trump done love a good conspiracy.

      McMaster has been a problem for weeks, even since the Syrian strike.

      He’s one of your people, war mongering filth.

    I’m stepping away from this thread for awhile to do other things. While I’m gone, feel free to explain to me, slowly, how an ISIS plot to blow up airplanes with laptops is TOP SECRET intel worth protecting. Moreover, explain to me how the President did anything wrong, when it’s his right to declassify it.

      It’s not his intel to share it with another nation. ESPECIALLY RUSSIA.
      That is what he did that was wrong.

      From what I read, doing so jeopardizes the relationship with the intel community of that nation.

        What’s the downside to sharing the intel versus the upside?

        Don’t the potential benefits outweigh the cost?

        How would you feel if you family member was on a plane shot down by ISIS and it later came out that it could have been prevented if there was intel sharing among nations with a common goal?

        Would you still be acting like a moron?

      A) this wasn’t our information to share, meaning that whoever gave it to us may not trust us in the future.
      B) he didn’t share it as part of a discussion on strategy, he was using this information to boast.
      C) This was information that apparently isn’t normally shared with our other allies. So why would we share it with an adversary?

        As long as you believe what you read it does fall into place fairly easily. It’s shirts and skins and you trust the skins, no different than the average Fox News consumer.

        Wow, you mean anIntel agency graciously shared with usl that ISIS may want to blow up one of our planes using the largest and most ubiquitous electronic gadget (Laptop) commonly brought onto a plane? No way, I dont believe it, thats top secret info! You mean that agency might not want to share similarly ground breaking and unique info like that, now that we shared the obvious with Russia? Hot damn, make sure we dont lose that connect, next time they might share with us that when it rains, theres an increased probability that we might get wet. Also, ice is cold and the sky appears blue.That intel isnt worth shit, its obvious and common sense. Share with us some info that is actually unique and we will classify it top secret and tell no one.

      This is idiotic, it’s clear that this damages our relationships with our covert sources, both ongoing and future. This is a complete shitshow, the heights of moronic behavior. Even if there were no collusion or connection between T and Russia, why the FUCK would he be doing something retarded like this THIS WEEK.

      Fucking genius.

    First, I thought you were done with the tinfoil hat act? Didn’t believe it for a second.

    Second, for a smart guy you can be a blockhead. President Loose Lips evidently presented info that compromises a valuable intelligence source inside ISIS (the bad guys) and jeopardizes the continuing flow of valuable intelligence info from a reluctant intelligence gathering partner. This source was providing us with info related to an active threat. Under what circumstances is this good for Americans?

    To argue that our idiot president can release sensitive info to the Russians willy-nilly is absurd. Worse, the moron did it while boasting .. it wasn’t even purposeful. The Russians aren’t fighting ISIS..they are fighting the anti-Assad Syrians. Time to do some reading and switch off your poodle-swaddling hero Jones.

    The Rich story is just a ham-handed attempt to distract from yet another Trump disaster. It’s laughably transparent.

    Ask your wife and kids if they feel safer now than 6 months ago before the pussy-grabber was elected.

    Now stop publishing this shit so I can focus on continuing to destroying the market. I’m happy to manage your money if you get more distracted.

    Regards.

      Traderconfession must get all his “news” from the fuckwits at cnn.
      Nothing in his wordy post rings true with me, especially the hilarious bit about Russia not fighting ISIS but anti-Assad Syrians. There are very few actual Syrians who are anti-Assad. Even fewer of those actual anti-Assad Syrians have ever picked up a gun.
      The fact two dummies followed up with mic drop comments further reinforces my opinion that most people are retarded when it comes to actually knowing what is really going on in Syria.

        Some people are just too lazy to use their own brains and do their own thinking. Others, don’t even have the luxury of using a brain which for unexplained reasons is absent or significantly damaged (e.g., frog).

      I down voted you and stopped reading at “…compromises a valuable intelligence source inside ISIS (the bad guys) “.
      WTF are you talking about? ISIS is a CIA/Mossad creature run and directed by CIA/Mossad; therefore, no valuable source inside ISIS was compromised. Case closed.

      Really? you think revealing that we now know ISIS has given thought to the idea of using the largest and most ubiquitous electronic gadget on a plane is unique to one source within ISIS? If only one source in ISIS is known for being the originator of the idea to use a large electronic brick as a potential bomb hiding place…….then they are as dumb as you. Thats not unique info. It isnt even a secret. Literally everyone knows that laptops are high risk hiding places for bombs…..thats why they make your remove them from your baggage and put them through an X-ray machine numb nuts. Listening to Libtards regurgitate the MSM narrative and pretend like its unique would be hilarious if it wasnt simultaneously so sad.

    It’s the principal of it – Trump doesn’t even realize it when he is leaking classified info. This specific info may not have been damaging, but it’s gonna happen over and over. He can’t keep his orange mouth shut. This is a bombshell, make no mistake.

    He will be out of office before 2018, mark my words. You heard it here first.
