Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador

President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, 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 National Security Agency.

“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.”

[...]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.

Белый Дом выпустил Макмастера с "опровержением" (видео ниже). Автор статьи в WP (и другие) говорят, что Макмастер "опровергает" как раз то, чего в статье не содержится. То есть, вероятнее всего, в статье в WP описано то, что действительно произошло.

"Lock her up!", ага.

P.S. Трампистов ничего не берет.

I think this is all a setup engineered by President Trump to smoke out the leaker. The leak was real, but the story wasn't. By which story got out, they now know who's behind it. Trump outranks every Democrat in Congress by at least 30 IQ points. :D
