Has Trump Finally Gone Too Far?

[EDDIE51]

I know we are all sick and tired of Trumps gaffs but has he finally gone too far this time?
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/analysis-latest-trump-revelation-republicans-breaking-point/story?id=47436562
Disclosing information so sensitive that it has not even been disclosed to the US's closest allies ?

[Hopkirk]

Hilarious considering his accusations of Hillary.

[ToraToraTora]

Dont get your Alans in a Brahms eddie, just a bit of cooperation regarding terrorists.

[ChillDoubt]

Probably a good idea that he did because if it means taking on ISIS the Ruskies will do so with impunity, not giving a hoot that the Pope doesn't like the name of some US munitions!

[Peter Pedant]

it wasnt his info to give the Russians apparently ( you know a/c to Tora or s/o) - possibly Britski
US UK Oz NZ and Canada have a spook sharing agreement ( 5-eyes or UKUSA) and that is in danger

Cruel Cruel tweets - really I think there is room for lots more

Bad News - Great big leak in Washington
Good News the president knows who it is ....

They say even more that Isis have an airport scanner
and can therefore practise getting exploding laptops onto aircraft
And that kinda narrows the leak down to the place where the scanner is and the men working it

The Brits are the ones who told Putin a missile had brought down the Russian holiday airliner in Sinai ....

co-operation, lol, I wonder just what useful information the Russians gave in return. My guess would be approximately none. But at least the KGB will be able to lay off all their spies if the US president is going to give them information on a plate.

[Peter Pedant]

Oh I am sure the Russians gave bagger all in return

time for a few more old one-liners

remember that the Revd Ian Paisley said:
the only people who know what is going on in the Foreign Office in London is the KGB in Moscow !

This is slowly, but steadily, turning into another Nixon/Watergate....all we have to do is wait.

[ToraToraTora]

if the civilised world can cooperate to take down terrorists then that's good. Usual politicking from the left I see. Well done Trumpster for showing the way once more.

[anneasquith]

Still dangerous and crazy, a ticking time bomb. He has an overseas visit soon ( the first ).

[Jackdaw33]

I fail to see what Watergate has remotely to do with this.

[ichkeria]

A stupid gaffe. The main thing here is it will increase the lack of trust between the intelligence services and the White House. Apparently in this case ot wss tge Israelis who he compromised. He is an easily flattered buffoon who cannot be trusted with secrets

[EDDIE51]

The news is that the information came from Israel . But Trump claims to have been unaware of the source of the information!
As you are probably aware Israel and Russia are not exactly 'best mates' !

[mikey4444]

The deeper the hole, the deeper Trump still digs.

[EDDIE51]

^ Yes he needs to learn the old saying 'when in a hole stop digging'
But I like a variation on it I heard years ago >
When you are up to your neck in alligators, it is difficult to remember your original objective was to drain the swamp!

[Peter Pedant]

// But Trump claims to have been unaware of the source of the information! //

and so his underlings say he cannot possibly have compromised the source -others say - yes of course you can.....

[Jackdaw33]

Don't get it.

[goodgoalie]

Don't worry, folks, can't see any way Drumpf will still be in office at the end of this year - not if he continues as he's started

[Peter Pedant]

the FBI hopefuls are being asked
dja wanna give up your security of tenure of your present jobs
and do a great jarb in Washington - being lied to - sworn and then fired without a job

and hey they are all saying No thank you !

[Khandro]

Critics of Trump (and I am more of one than I used to be) should keep their eye on the ball, overall, the target is ISIS - the most evil death-dealing menace to civilization on the planet. Russia is pledged to defeat them and so are we and the US, so why should we not share any information which helps to eradicate this despicable common enemy?
