During his visit to Jerusalem on Monday, President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nentanyahu he did not mention Israel during a recent Oval Office meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
"I never mentioned the word or the name Israel," President Trump said.
The comments come after President Trump allegedly shared classified Israeli intelligence on ISIS with Lavrov and Kislyak, leading to the severe endangerment of an Israeli spy.
The White House does not deny the intelligence was shared, arguing the President has the authority to share or declassify any information he's sees necessary.
QUESTION? Who is the LEAKER and FABRICATOR?
I think “Russia” has become a trigger word for the Left. Trump could be in the office ordering a sandwich and asking for “Russian dressing,” and it’ll be on the front page of the NYT the next morning.
Very strange. I saw the whole laptop thing in the press about two or three weeks prior to Trump’s remarks, when the UK announced that it was banning laptops on flights from certain ME countries because intelligence had learned that there was a plot to use them as bombs. It was speculated in the press at that time that the info came from Israel (today, btw, the Jordanians said it came from them). So this information was hardly “classified” in the first place - the Russians were already aware of the laptop ban and its reason - and the details were being openly speculated upon by the press itself, which of course was publishing its conclusions as fact.
But the question remains of who put this perfectly innocuous remark out in such a way that it could be depicted as a grave violation and the worst thing since Benedict Arnold.
And if he did so what? Thats between him the Israelis, he is the commander in chief , he decides foreign policy not CNN, or Chucky through rose colored glasses at the tip of a long lying nose.
Every time the left/RINOs bring up Russia, Trump should bring up Seth Rich. Did you see this yet?
POTUS can declassify anything he wishes, on the spot and without reason at any time. OADR on the fly, as it were.
Hillary disclosed our nuclear response time in minutes, DURING A FRIGGIN' SPEECH. I think it was a debate, no less. DID THE MEDIA INDICT HER FOR COMMITTING A SECURITY VIOLATION DURING A SPEECH???? NO.
They had a big thing here locally about our airport and the new policy. And it was at least a month ago.
I want everyone on FR to know that there a numerous outfits among 4Chan, Reddit, and Anonymous who are working around the clock to bring DNC ills to light. They may not be conservatives, but they are beyond pissed off that the DNC conspired to take the nomination away from Bernie.
This is an example of keeping your enemies close, because there’s a common enemy now, and it’s the DNC.
Somebody in Trump’s inner circle is a traitor.
Personally, I think this whole thing was simply made up by some "reporter" at WaPo (or whomever started this one). I don't think its even a leak... its simply made up fake news that was intended to try and sour things between Trump and Israel leading up to his visit.
Nobody ever has to back up their "unnamed sources" stories these days, so they have become pretty routine stuff for the "media".
Of course it’s made up by some left-wing reporter, isn’t that obvious?
This meeting with the Russians was done with the exclusion of the US press and was followed up with leaks that make claims that apparently have no basis according to those who attended. Also, for some reason Trump’s administration never denies the claims.
It seems to me that these leaks contain false information. Were they used to trap leakers?
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Given the fact that the last major airliner attack was against Russia with over 200 dead, a warning was called for if a threat was detected. The idea that sensitive information isn't discussed amongst world leaders is absurd. Given Russia's close relationship with Israel concerning actions in Syria, I wouldn't be shocked if Russia already knew about it, presuming it was Israeli intelligence.
Meanwhile, it was the Left who was in bed with the Russians, via uranium-gate and Obama's bending over ("flexibility") on missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin loves so much and wanted so badly.
...which is the EXACT reason I think Trump should announce an official state visit by Putin to the U.S. Putin should then offer to speak with Congress and the media to answer any questions they may have.
You wanna see heads explode?
This whole "laptopgate" leakage crap is all crap anyway.
Also cannot remember when the last time I flew with a laptop but I am sure I was made to remove it from the case, power it up and the agent watched it boot up to the windows logo.
Then NOT to allow them to be carried in the cabin but to ALLOW them to be carried in the cargo bay instead is pure insanity. Has anyone ever heard of wireless transmitters?
These morons that are trying to protect us from these goat humpers will never protect us 100%. It is as simple as that. All we can do is even the odds by removing them from the breathing population.
