In a White House meeting last week with Russian Foreign Minister and Ambassador, President # 45 revealed highly classified information. This came a day after he fired James Comey who was leading the Russian investigation. President # 45 jeopardized a critical source of information on the Islamic State. This information came to us through an intelligence arrangement for sharing. Details were withheld from allies and restricted from most within US government.
Permission to share had not been given by this partner. This put cooperation from the ally at risk. The CIA and NSA were called in to help contain the damage.
President #45 revealed code word information. This is one of the highest classification levels that spy agencies use. Officials worry that President #45 seems not to be able to grasp the consequences of his actions.
