FYI as the Chief Executive, the President has authority to declassify any material he wants to and reveal it to whoever he wants to. It's part of the job as President to meet with foreign leaders, discuss issues, and prevent misunderstanding and possible war. President Obama used that power to provide Security Clearances to people who failed their background checks.

Trump tells them direct or they can just hack Hillary's emails. Joke of a paper and this isn't news. The media is out of control and it goes both ways. The poster is right as the president can declassify as he sees fit.

SSgt Ray Stone -
Umm, espionage etiquette? Well, according the Bond, James Bond Book of Espionage Etiquette 007th Edition, the main reference on espionage etiquette among most spies and definitely the go to for all US and Western spies, and I quote...'When sharing information gained through espionage, one must have a signed document agreeing to sharing the information among party nations with a detailed listing of what nations the information can be shared with. Any addition to the list of nations must be added to any, and all addendums and initialed by both party nations, UNLESS one, or both, nation's representatives had their fingers crossed at the time of signing.' I think it may be a case of our guy having their fingers crossed?

'Allegedly'. 'Sources said'. Yeah. Solid reporting right there. Trump is definitely capable of fucking up, but until I see solid proof of it -- not unnamed sources -- I call bullshit.

A word here, a word there. Soon, it makes an article appear like Trump is criminal.
These folks are the problem. Not making America great again.

Who are current and former officials? This kind of reporting is dangerous and unacceptable without names, dates, and facts related. The Washington Post is a liberal, usually not too believable newspaper when reporting on the President. Sorry Ray, I need hard facts before I believe this report.

SSgt Ray Stone - Narrative has nothing to do with this. This story is little more than an opinion piece. It presents NO facts, no sources. I'm willing to be wrong. Please show me how I am. Show me a single legitimate source on the record.
