Yes.
Who was trumps last Nation security adviser, the name is escaping me. I think he is in a slight bit of trouble...So the guy that Trump hired as national security adviser says that there's nothing to see here, we should just move along. That guy is the credible source?
This is what happens when you put this much trust into a guy who just a couple years ago was playing reality TV show guy.

I've been thinking about this. I think there are a few groups. 1 group is simply cognitive dissonance. Spend so long supporting someone who already broke the mold early on and has no recent historical comparisons, and someone who one has had to make some excuses for so early on, it just becomes too connected to ones esteem to change sides even when it becomes evident that little falsehoods and white lies are big fat juicy lies and dangerous misdeeds. Second group are "watch the world burn" folks who really just want a fun show to watch. And group 3, related to group 2 but with a twist are the "shit-posters" who just seem to relish pissing people off by saying "fake news" at every possible chance, it's posting something without substance just to have that act get under peoples skin. Then, closely related are trolls, who may post interesting things but also post just to annoy, they are trying to needle the other people.I don't get it. I don't understand the unwavering support of a guy who has done nothing to earn your trust. What has he done? Seriously, what has Trump done to deserve the benefit of the doubt? Why should he be given such complete loyalty?
We aren't talking about a man with an esteemed military service or a long track record in politics, we are talking about a fucking reality tv star. Have you people gone loony? I'm not even a democrat and I can see this shit plain as day. Reapect and trust is earned and I have seen nothing from this man to earn either.
Trump's advisors absolutely denied the story is true, period. That they said what went on, as well, does not change the fact that they said the story is false. Three of them who were in the room.
Like I said, it is a big deal if the administration sent these three out to lie. Exactly like sending Susan Rice out to lie about Benghazi and the whole "YouTube video" narrative.
Exactly the same.
It's still not clear that the story is true, though it is clear certain people want it to be true. The truth will come out, for sure. Either Trump's advisors lied or they didn't. If they did, it's an abuse of office in my book.
They were in the room, the undisclosed sources and former officials weren't. Former officials - why believe anything they have to say?
Lost in all the "gotcha" rhetoric is whether it's illegal and unusual for a president to share secret information with foreign powers - even Russia. I bet Obama did it dozens of times, if not more. And W, and Clinton, and Bush, and Reagan, and Carter, and so on.
There is still the issue of top secret classified information being shared with the Washington Post, if any of it is true. Whether you consider the leaker a hero or not, it's still illegal at best and treason at worst.
I also agree with @Clippy91 that WikiLeaks has published the unvarnished truth, over and over again. Not particularly everything to do with Russia or interesting to Russia. Assange is more believable than our CIA, no doubt.
Now Trump is saying he can share any classified information he wants with anyone he wants to share it with, which is contradicting the spin that no classified information was shared.

But it "didn't happen" right? I mean, that was the response to McMaster, right?
