Lol, McMaster doubled down and denying the leak story.

[grantcart]

McMaster went "on the record" with a 3 sentence prepared statement denying that they talked about sources or methods, which was never alleged. He took new questions and briskly sprinted back to the West Wing.

Unfortunately for them the Intel Community has drawn the line in the sand.

"A non-denial denial"

No one bought it.

1. He should have resigned rather than spin for Trump

His word is crap now.

[delisen]

3. Like Colin Powell lying to the UN on intelligence for invading Iraq.

2. He HAS to say this, he was there in the room, he watched it/ let it happen.

McMaster is, in actuality, a highly overrated boob.

[Skidmore]

4. Hardball discussing this now.

Calling it a smoke screen.

6. Didn't even bite on it for a minute. I was quite surprised.

5. Another formerly credible person chewed up and

spit out by the Tangerine Toddler.

7. I doubt that tRump knew the sources or methods, so of course he didn't discuss them. n/t

8. WaPo explicitly said that per their sources, Trump did not reveal the source of the information...

They agree with McMaster.

Trump went on to discuss aspects of the threat that the United States only learned through the espionage capabilities of a key partner. He did not reveal the specific intelligence gathering method, but described how the Islamic State was pursuing elements of a specific plot and how much harm such an attack could cause under varying circumstances. Most alarmingly, officials said, Trump revealed the city in the Islamic State’s territory where the U.S. intelligence partner detected the threat.

9. This was the day after firing Comey. And he did this in front of Russian reporters.

10. No he didn't. He confirmed it. On national TV. So, there's no wiggle room, here.

He did it. He owns it. The GOP has to eject this POS now.
