fwiw, meaning this is CYA BS I'm sure.

"At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly": Trump National Security Adviser McMaster

more BS I'm sure

1. Technically true? I mean by telling the Russians, Trump effectively declassified it

[napi21]

2. I believe the news reporters much more than anything out of the WH! nt

3. Given their track record, I take that as confirmation that he did share classified info

Anybody who works for or 'represents' for trump* has zero credibility.

4. Dina is lying. I would bet my life on it. A BIG F-U-C-K-I-N-G lie. . . .

NOBODY in Pussy Grabber's world knows ANYTHING about the truth.

5. They are parsely words carefully and this does NOT contradict the story

which itself said no military operations, sources, or methods were discussed. It DID say that classified information from a third country, shared with the US, was disclosed. That is not supposed to happen.

6. Like "after all the lies we told you, you should believe us on this one!"

[C_U_L8R]

7. Seems the story is being verified... everywhere.

Good luck with that lie, Dina Powell.

8. Weasel wording. The WH is referencing 'sources and methods'. WaPo agrees with them:

they say explicitly in the article that Trump did not reveal the information's source.
