Uhh, the person giving the statement is the source. He said he was in the room.

So, I wonder how many people are going to read the title and assume its truth despite statements to the contrary.

ETA: I'll be waiting to we hear more information because anonymous sources aren't always trustworthy.

Both officials have carefully parsed thei rwords to deny something that was never claimed to begin with.  So it look slike they are denying the accusation when they actually have not.

That said, no White House administration, regardless of party, is going to admit to something like this.

Hmm... Let's see... Trump, President of the United States of America, declassifies information and shares with Russia, which his position as President of the United States of America allows him to, no rules broken.

The only rule he's broken is shitting on the Russophobes in the House and Senate...

Actually, if the intelligence was gathered and is owned by a foreign ally and we (the US, Trump, Executive branch, White House, etc...) have not been given dissemination rights to that information, then we've just violated a lot of security protocols and severely damaged the trust and relationship we have with that ally and others.  Who wants to trust the US if we're just going to share the information with Russia?

This has been the MO though, hasn't it? Will continue to wait for to continue to unfold. It's looking more like Trump talked to Russia about ISIS, but we don't much beyond that yet?
