CNN national security analyst Samantha Vinograd criticized President Donald Trump for revealing plans for secret talks with the Taliban, noting it defeats the purpose of sensitive peace talks.

“We shouldn’t even be talking about this right now,” Vinograd told CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield Sunday. “In the sense I worked under President [Barack] Obama, I was involved in setting up secret negotiations with the Taliban and other unsavory characters. There’s a reason they’re kept secret.

“It’s so this doesn’t play out in the court of public opinion while there’s important details to hammer out, while you give both sides room to try to negotiate to come back to the table,” she said.

“How much has he undermined the potential of any other upcoming talks?” Whitfield asked.

“I think the door to rescheduling this meeting is open,” Vinograd said. “The Taliban seemingly wants to get back to the negotiating table. Their statements have been relatively measured for the Taliban. The question now is not what Donald Trump is tweeting but what’s happening behind the scenes between negotiators.”

So Obama dropped one of his Cooties at CNN. I thought as much.

[GreyFriar]

And revealing it puts pressure on the Afghans and the Taliban. I think the Brits called it “The great game.”

[Texas Eagle]

Ha haaaaaa!!! These are the same people who don’t bat an eye when Hillary Clinton, James Comey and John Brennan (among many others) who divulge classified information on a regular basis.

[hawkaw]

Actually, I thought it was a good thing because we got to understand Trump’s thinking and the administration’s position instead of what the Washington Compost thinks the position is. And BTW, I am glad Trump did what he did.

Of course there’s a reason stupid. Key tactics and strategy against an enemy requires confidentiality.

CNN - an arm of the Enemy Within.

Isn’t she one of the Einsteins who gave Iran $150 billion dollars?

[reasonisfaith]

Is there a reason your network is in cahoots with rogue elements of the cia to destroy our country?

[TigersEye]

What a maroon! It was Trump’s secret to keep or reveal.

Stupid, evil, lying #FakeNews, CNN media whore.

Obama Cootie Analyst Samantha Vinograd is a mere piker when compared to PDJT.

She is in this little finite strategic box.

PDJT is inside, outside and omnipresent to Vinograd’s finite little strategy box.

Watch the master at work, and laugh at these Obama cooties.

[SaxxonWoods]

Trump doesn’t use the standard practice, too bad, deal with it.

[knarf]

If there’s no meeting, nothing is “revealed”

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Probably the first decent argument CNN has made.

[IWontSubmit]

One of the schumer with schiff for brains that would sock it to us in the soros:
Vinograd was born in Connecticut to Barbara (née Lefkowitz) and Serge G. Vinograd.[2] Her parents are Jewish[3]...

Soon to be told to GTFO in no uncertain terms as has happened many times in many places through all of recorded history....

[Texas Eagle]

I don’t recognize her name. But if she’s a CNN security analist, it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s divulged her share of state secrets.

[mylife]

So why is she flapping her piehole?

[ifinnegan]

“I was involved in setting up secret negotiations with the Taliban and other unsavory characters. There’s a reason they’re kept secret.”

Yeah.

To hide things that are not good.

[IWontSubmit]

Vinograd:

[SaveFerris]

[If there’s no meeting, nothing is “revealed”]

Don’t tell the Democrats! They’re too busy giving each other high-fives!

[Nifster]

Bwahahahaha

Until they don’t iccur
