the queen of mean: Rep. Marsha Blackburn defends President Trump in wake of Russia report

[spanone]

I'M SHOCKED!!!

While Republican and Democratic Congress members have expressed frustration, confusion and anger over a Washington Post report that said President Donald Trump gave classified information to high-ranking Russian officials, U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn said it's important to emphasize the president's commitment to security.

"Classified intelligence is a vital tool in fighting Islamic extremism and it is imperative that we are diligent in protecting our sources and methods," Blackburn, R-Tenn., said in a statement Tuesday provided by a spokesman.

"Officials who were in the room have reiterated that no sources or operations were revealed. The president prioritizes the safety and security of the American people first and foremost, and working with other countries to defeat shared threats like ISIS should not be discounted.”

The Post report, since corroborated by multiple media outlets, states Trump discussed details of terrorist plot involving the Islamic State. The conversation, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, puts lives and intelligence gathering capabilities at risk, experts and sources have told USA TODAY and other media.

8. Maybe she'll go to prison for life for him, by proxy

Or maybe, when it's obvious that Trump is circling the drain, they'll all nonchalantly walk in the other direction, whistling softly, pretending they never supported him in the first place.
