Do you guys think Trump said this in front of the SVR officers err I mean "TASS camera crew"?

 

[Rigby.]

But is that verified? And do you honestly feel federal agents sworn to protect this country will leak things out of spite? Do you know the legal ramifications for doing that shyt?

Breh I already prepared my response to this post after making my last one

Who you think gonna investigate the FBI?.....The FBI?
Comey had damn near the whole division under his bootheel, unless the new director hits the damn reset button, they're gonna be dealing with reports like this for a minute

Hold on so we have a secret meeting that took place between trump and Russian Representatives and somehow we know that was discussed? When not too long ago we didn't even know it happened until the Russian press published pictures? How is this information is being obtained please fill me in.

1) The meeting wasn't secret. It was a scheduled meeting with Lavrov.

2) What the press pictures revealed was Kislyak was also there and no one knows why.

Tillerson said he didn’t know why Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak was present at an Oval Office meeting this week between Trump and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Russian Election Meddling ‘Well Documented,’ Tillerson Says

3) We know about this because someone is leaking information from transcripts of the meeting.

Senior White House officials appeared to recognize quickly that Trump had overstepped and moved to contain the potential fallout. Thomas P. Bossert, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, placed calls to the directors of the CIA and the NSA, the services most directly involved in the intelligence-sharing arrangement with the partner.

One of Bossert’s subordinates also called for the problematic portion of Trump’s discussion to be stricken from internal memos and for the full transcript to be limited to a small circle of recipients, efforts to prevent sensitive details from being disseminated further or leaked.

I can tell you've never held a position where you were required most likely by law to be compliant with security guidelines. Like I said, leaking shyt out of spite is unheard of especially when it is very easy to track down who did the leaking. I just want to know the facts. How do people know what was discussed? Who are these sources? Can they be trusted? Plenty of unanswered questions.

What are you talking about? Leaking is easy and leakers almost NEVER get caught. It is not in fact "easy" to track down a leaker. Do you realize how many people are briefed/read in to a policy decision - no matter how sensitive. You have the President, his inner staff (Chief of Staff, Closest advisor, White House Counsel, Communications (ideally), you have various members of his cabinet including the secretary responsible for that particular policy. You have his/her staff, you have the professional bureaucracy within the specific department; congressmen/senators in relevant committees and their staff. Unless all of these people are under constant surveillance, it's almost impossible to determine to whom they may have spoken.

Are you going to answer the question?

you haven't posed a valid question

Makes you wonder who the spy is in Trump's inner circle.

Think about it long and hard.

Donald Trump spills the beans

Possibilities
- info gets back to Russian intel and US spies relay info
- info gets back to Russian intel and allied spies relay info
- White House mole
- White House Digital trail

This shyt is funny until you stop and think about how this is the motherfukker who is going to have to reassure the country in the event of a terrorist attack

"Good news, folks. Because allies no longer trust us with intel, a major terrorist attack happened. A really big one. Now congress has to let me do whatever I want or else they're with the terrorists. It's gonna be great, believe me."

Breh everyone answers to someone no agency can just operate without some form of checks and balances.

From the FBI.gov:

The FBI’s activities are closely and regularly scrutinized by a variety of entities. Congress—through several oversight committees in the Senate and House—reviews the FBI’s budget appropriations, programs, and selected investigations. The results of FBI investigations are often reviewed by the judicial system during court proceedings. Within the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI is responsible to the attorney general, and it reports its findings to U.S. Attorneys across the country. The FBI’s intelligence activities are overseen by the Director of National Intelligence.

Dave Chappelle tonight in NY on his November SNL monologue: "I was the first guy on TV to say 'Give Trump a chance.' I f***ed up. Sorry.

Trumpset is already getting their talking points ready. "B-b-but the president can declassify anything he wants!"

Yeah @Nutritious Quata' Water said this to make it seem like the leak wasn't a big deal. Be aloof to the possibility of the president fukking up national security and compromising our allies, brehs.
