We Asked These Dems Why Obama Offering Intel To Russia Was OK
Daily Caller ^ | 5/17/17 | Kerry Pickett

WASHINGTON — House Democrats had no concerns about President Barack Obama offering to share intelligence about Syria with Russia last June because that decision “was made as a product of consultation between the president and the intelligence community,” a top Democrat said Wednesday.

House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff and other Democrats accused President Donald Trump of disclosing classified information to Russian officials last week. The White House, including National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, has denied that the president revealed any such sensitive information.

In response to a question from The Daily Caller, Schiff explained the circumstances were entirely different.

“What should we disclose to an ally? What should we just goes to an adversary? What is in the national security best interests of the country? And there may very well be circumstances in Syria or elsewhere where you decide we need to share this information, because we want this party to behave in a certain way or just for humanitarian reasons because they face a real threat and we’re aware of that threat,” Schiff said.

I repeat: if there weren’t double standards, the Left wouldn’t have any standards at all!

The left runs on emotions and not logic. I can see why its overflowing with women and effeminate men.

Does this scandal compare with the 2011 incident where the Obama administration gave the Russians sensitive information on Britain’s nuclear deterrent? The U.K.’s Daily Telegraph reported, “The fact that the Americans used British nuclear secrets as a bargaining chip also sheds new light on the so-called ‘special relationship’, which is shown often to be a one-sided affair by US diplomatic communications obtained by the WikiLeaks website.”

I remember when Jimma Carter, much to the surprise of the military brass, revealed to the world we possessed stealth technology.
