Corker: Trump White House in 'downward spiral' following Russia classified leak report

[bathroommonkey76]

The White House is in a "downward spiral" and needs to do something to get "under control" in the wake of a bombshell report alleging Trump revealed classified information to high-ranking Russian officials, said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.

During a recent White House meeting, Trump provided Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak with "highly classified information" pertaining to the Islamic State, according to a Washington Post report published Monday.

The president discussed information pertaining to ongoing efforts to defeat the Islamic State, the Post reports. The fact Trump shared the information reportedly jeopardizes a U.S. relationship with the key ally who obtained the intelligence.

Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had a fiery response to the report late Monday.

"The White House has got to do something soon to bring itself under control and in order. It's got to happen," Corker said, according to a Tweet from Bloomberg reporter Sahil Kapur.

"Obviously they're in a downward spiral right now and they've got to figure out a way to come to grips (with) all that's happening."

3. This is infuriating, NOW they are in a downward spiral?

100+ plus days of madness, irreparable harm to our country, our institutions, our name and NOW you see a problem?


Figured you could destroy Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, minority voting rights, women's rights, gay rights first before the downward spiral got out of control?

Why worry, you have a bona-fide nutcase for VP and you have appointed a rightwing asshole to the SC, I say it looks pretty rosy for you folks.

4. The only answer is resignation or impeachment

Trump is not going to change, and he cannot be "controlled".

5. IMO Corker has shown himself to be the sanest Republican in the Senate.

He has also gone on the record saying that the Iranians are in compliance with the agreement.
