The Washington Post reports Trump gave classified info to the Russians.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-revealed-highly-classified-...
“This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

What? We must investigate and arrest those who are leaking this information about our President colluding with Russia. Fire some more people at the FBI and make the rest swear allegiance to President Trump. I'm sure Erdoğan can give POTUS some tips on how to deal with all of this, if Putin hasn't already.

My guess was, and is still, Russia in both cases. Here's my reasoning.
Whoever got this information years before and is leaking it now has to
1) be capable of hacking the NSA and/or the CIA, and 2) willing to publish it all. Countries like Israel and France are certainly capable, but wouldn't ever publish. Countries like North Korea or Iran probably aren't capable. The list of countries who fit both criteria is small:
Russia, China, and...and...and I'm out of ideas. And China is currently trying to make nice with the US.
Last August, Edward Snowden guessed Russia, too."

That's what it says in the story in the original post. But just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
While he is at it, can he let us know what really happened at Roswell in 1948?

President Trump, in a reckless and dangerous manner, has revealed highly classified information to the Russians at a meeting in the Oval Office, information that could expose extremely important sources and methods of intelligence gathering in the fight against ISIS. Further, this could endanger intelligence sharing with a key ally in the Middle East. Protecting our national security is one of the most important tasks a president has, and Trump is failing at it. This new disclosure comes one week after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey who was in the midst of an investigation of possible Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government in the recent election. All of this makes it vitally important that Trump make public any recordings he has of conversations in the Oval Office. We also need to proceed as soon as possible with the appointment of a special prosecutor.

Ah, I hate to break the news but as the ultimate authority on what remains classified any President can release pretty much any information to whoever he wants. Hard to call that treason. You people passed the point of ridiculous a long time ago, but it's fun to watch.
If you're really concerned about protecting confidential information you might show some interest in who keeps leaking it to the press. But that would require an amount of integrity sorely lacking in these swamp infested times.

Let see what Erick Erickson
Let see what Erick Erickson conservative pundit has to say about the source of the leak:
Erickson knows one of the sources and supports their decision to go to the media, he wrote Tuesday in a blog post for his website, The Resurgent.
“This is a real problem and I treat this story very seriously because I know just how credible, competent, and serious — as well as seriously pro-Trump, at least one of the sources is,” Erickson wrote.
“You can call these sources disloyal, traitors, or whatever you want,” he added. “But please ask yourself a question — if the President, through inexperience and ignorance, is jeopardizing our national security and will not take advice or corrective action, what other means are available to get the President to listen and recognize the error of his ways?”

What's almost as amazing as the poor judgment is the how the White House staff continues to blunder in its handling of the fallout from these missteps. Its obvious that trying to stay on script just doesn't work when cleaning up after Trump because Trump will just then send out some tweet or say something in an interview that flies in the face of the "official" storyline. Spicer and Co. just need to shut their mouths and seems like the administration would be well served to stop talking with the press altogether and just let Trump be Trump. They certainly aren't helping to instill any confidence in his presidency.
