This thread is mostly a left wing snark fest. But I have a couple of comments that I don't think have been covered. (I haven't read every post and I post these coments knowing that goat will post a criticism if I am repeating a previous point)
First, what's up with "former U.S. officials" cited as a source for this story?How in the hell does a former official know anything about this meeting without participating in criminal activity about trafficking in secret material? Further, why is his, or more likely her, identify kept secret? Is it because the former official might have a well documented history of lying?
Second,
The officials declined to identify the ally but said it has previously voiced frustration with Washington’s inability to safeguard sensitive information related to Iraq and Syria.
This looks like the ally in question had similar issues with the Obama administration. Trump talking out of turn, if that is what happened, is not a new issue.
Finally, I don't think we know what Trump said. Whether it was by design. Whether it was careless. Or whether it is a nothingburger because McMaster said Trump didn't know the city where the intel originated and if Trump mentioned a city, It would be a coincidence. We do know that WaPo gets a lot of Trump stuff wrong.
