he leaked classified info thereby declassifying it, but US did not have approval of the country that provided the info to do so. Evidently there were many mmore details that WaPo and WSJ held back in order not to compound the error.

Query whether any international law was broken?

This is scary to me given that Russia and US have different positions on the mideast  

Let us never again hear about HRC's handling of confidential info.

This is analogous to the comparison of impeaching Bill Clinton for lying about a tryst and the Republican's resistance to impeaching Orange Julius for multiple serious causes. Emoluments clause anyone?

Simply inconceivable....

if McMaster repeats the lies he told the press yesterday to congress it would be an indictable federal offense.

For McMaster it isn't lies (none / 0) (#19)

It's military law. The President instantly declassifies whatever he speaks. He is commander in chief. McMaster cannot question this either. That for him is illegal. He is not a civilian you guys.

Mattis can question what happened, Kelly can too, HR McMaster cannot question what happened. Not today.

He does not have comprehension of free speech or even what it's used for. He signed his rights away for that long ago, and then as he was promoted he was given back some rights to speak his mind.

And this all worked when you have an ethical President with reverent power. All the BS works.

But right now my husband lays on the couch holding his own head in his hands. His head hurts, and he mumbles stuff about brainwashed....not making this up. It's really happening in my own home nightly :)

Some are rolling around on their sofas mumbling, others are shouting nonsense at the air. We r so phucked
