Trump shared more information to the Russians than we've shared to our own allies, according to the source.

Naturally the White House response will be that the issue is this was leaked, not that it happened.

BPat, how can this NOT go down as anything but a big win for the US. 

Imagine this--the Russians are in the Oval Office with their secret journalist and probably bragging about how good their intel was.  You know, laughing at us stupid Americans. Telling Trump their intel services could help ours if we can't keep up.  Our Domestic intel service only has 35,000 employees and theirs has 40,000--stuff like that.

Then Trump brought the hammer down and told them some real intelligence and a pretty good indication of how we acquired it--stuff our allies don't even know. And shut their mouths good! Their "journalist" probably recorded it all so Putin will get an earful. Maybe Lavrov will be back at the White House soon begging for more lessons from Trump about how good the US Intel services are.

The message is clear.  A new sheriff is in town and you don't talk down to the US. 

I heard through back channels that China and North Korea are also requesting visits to the Oval Office as soon as possible.
