Because the President can decide to tell another country classified material does not mean it's then OK to tell the world what he said.

The media is within their rights to publish stories about the government and national security to include Trump releasing classified information to the Russians not IAW intelligence protocols to share the information. See The Pentagon Papers.

So do we, and we need to identify them and treat them accordingly. RE: WAPO: Trump shared highly classified intel to Russians in Oval Office - BmorePat87 - 05-19-2017 So Trump tells the Russians that Comey was "crazy" and "a real nut job", and that him firing him means there's less pressure and no investigation. The White House doesn't een deny it, they just said that Comey was grandstanding, which prevented negotiating with Russia, and that the real issue is... THE LEAKS of private conversations. Reports of a video of McCarthy saying privately that he believes Putin pays Trump, Republicans laughing, McCarthy saying "no, I'm serious", and Ryan saying "no leaks, we're all family here". Both denied it. Once it was revealed there's a tape, both said they were joking. What's the final straw for Republicans?

The "final straw" for what? As to the Comey comments. It has been asserted by a government official that Trump blasted Comey to the Russians in an attempt to instill a sense of obligation and improved cooperation. Of course that government official is probably not as reliable as the other government official. If you don't think the constant leaks of internal discussions in the White House is an issue; perhaps bigger than saying Comey was a nut job; then we have found another issue to disagree on. As to the McCarthy comments: Where they laughing or anything of the sort to indicate that they may indeed be joking? So they question once again: The final straw for what?

As a "religious" person how often do you say "swear to god" when you intend to make a joke? Because as an agnostic i never use the phrase. Only person i know that really threw the phrase around was a dope feind liar who robbed friends and family.

As a Christian "religious person" I am taught to simply let my yes be yes and my no be no. Anyone announcing "I swear to God" does not move the needle much in either direction for me. |
