Period.
That photo is not “high resolution”. Our high resolution space satellites can read what’s written on a piece of paper laying on the ground. 40 years ago I heard we could count the number of bolts on a tank and read a license plate. We can probably count the hairs on someones head.
“The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident“
I absolutely love it. And the best part is it rings of “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.......Miss Lewinski”
Troll level 1000!
I spent a little time reading the Twitter replies to this. 90% are hostile to Trump and accuse him of leaking classified information—with no evidence.
After reading perhaps a 100 such comments, it seemed very clear that Trump will reveal his source as some publicly available image. This smells like a media troll he has done many times: do something that will inflame them with false accusations and then provide proof otherwise.
If we were involved it wasn’t an accident. Is Trump parsing?
Exactly.
The president...and no one else...can unilaterally de-classify whatever he wants.
Any sitting president has that right.
99% chance that is an aerial photo taken by the Iranians. The labels were probably added by low level analysts. Trump can declassify anything he wants, but he does not — certainly not in this case.
Fun Fact: Dawes’ Limit has caveats.....
How does denial of taking part in an event equate to “leaking classified info”???
Especially an event that’s been all over the news.
It’s ok, he didn’t have intent.
Thanks for the precedent, Comey.
I love the accompanying CNN video clip.. ‘Yep, president can declassify whatever he wishes, but Orange man bad. Mean girl tweet.’
LOL. So CNN, how would the mechanics work for the President to take a classified image, presumably from DOD, and incorporate it into a tweet? This doesn’t pass the laugh test.
CNN: Trump MAY have disclosed classified info (accusation) but we pass on Hillary who and Obama who were PROVEN to REGULARLY disclose classified info as well as aid and comfort to Iran, an avowed enemy of the U.S,. which acts are constitutional treason.
The Delusional & Treasonous Lying Leftist Media.
Yes, but just watch: For the next year the left will be screaming for him to be impeach for revealing classified info while conveniently forgetting that the multiple felon who is above the law, Hillary F. Clinton, threw around classified info like confetti at a ticker tape parade.
So, who do they think decides what is classified?
In the seventies we could read a person’s driver’s license from space if they were holding it in their hand.... this is NOT classified stuff...
Aside from what you said - the President determines what’s classified and what’s not.... I wonder how much ‘classified stuff’ the Clinton’s gave to the Chinese. Without a peep from the corrupt press.
