NYT: Trump knew about Russian interference two weeks before inauguration and still denied it

This is astonishing. The story outlines very sensitive methods and sources, including this:

That included one particularly valuable source, who was considered so sensitive that Mr. Brennan had declined to refer to it in any way in the Presidential Daily Brief during the final months of the Obama administration, as the Russia investigation intensified.

Instead, to keep the information from being shared widely, Mr. Brennan sent reports from the source to Mr. Obama and a small group of top national security aides in a separate, white envelope to assure its security.

I mean what is a paper doing publishing something like that? Seems whoever leaked this should be in very serious trouble.

And for what? To prove Trump lied? Didn’t we already assume that?

Ridiculous. He beat your witch. It was the unpardonable sin.

Because sometimes you need to do what you need to do in order to get rid of a dangerous person

I do not think it’s to show just another common trump lie, after what happened in Finland, a lot of people are seriously questioning what the hell is going on with Trump. There are some questioned that need to be answered and Congress needs to do it’s job .There think of the source just that it was a very serious and apparently reliable.

Well I completely agree Congress needs to do something. Yesterday.

But a leak that puts a very sensitive source in danger? It was so sensitive the name wasn’t even included in the Presidential briefing.

Seems whoever leaked this put someone in very grave danger. I hope I’m wrong.

Three weeks from now you libs won’t even remember Finland. This will have fizzled and you will have latched onto another pipe dream of impeachment. Maybe Trump will have made the A-OK sign to the white house chef and you guys will be certain that it an impeachable offense.

someone else actually brought it up, what if the source was in grave danger because Trump let something slip like the Israeli leak on may of 2017? shortly after trump starts getting briefings you have a who lot of very senior Russian elites dying one after the other(the cnn article)
Trump leaking inadvertently that Israeli source was enough to make a lot of countries questioned just how much they should share. what if one of those 9 was indeed the source?

Source may have already been burned. Either way, I think we’re witnessing people throwing themselves into the gears of the machine after Helsinki.

You defended Putin, a rapist, and Nazis in one post.

Hoping we forget doesn’t seem like the best defense, but you’re the master strategist.

It was almost certainly leaked by the vert people who would be in danger. We’re at a point now where the entire GOP is complicit in this by their in action alone. Things will get worse.

Somehow, despite all of this, Ish will find a way to troll on.

It should just be ignored by everyone.

Something happened. In the Air Force. Who is to say what exactly.

You start with astonishing but finish with leaks?

The country is in danger…its being led by an ignorant, lying, traitor who is more worried about himself and his image then America and its citizens.

I tend to agree with this. People who have devoted their lives to the defense of our nation are recognizing the crisis unfolding before their eyes. And some are ready to defend us all once again, but this time from an enemy within.

Da…da…dum, dum…da…da…dum, dum…daaaaaaaaaaaaa! :sunglasses:

If it’s true that the president was given detailed evidence about what the Russians did and how Putin was behind it, and he proceeded to lie to the American people, he could be toast.
