Justafan Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 "H.R. McMaster told reporters in a brief statement that The Washington Post report published Monday "is false" and "at no time" were intelligence sources or methods discussed during Trump's meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The Post report says Trump revealed highly classified information about Islamic State militants to Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, during a meeting at the White House last week. McMaster says: "I was in the room. it didn't happen." McMaster says the president did not discuss details that were not already known publicly." Come on guys. You're better than this. This is a pretty strong denial. Don't become what you hate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Earl Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Laura Ingraham reported her WH sources said the people at the meeting with Trump were McMaster, Tillerson and Powell. All have denied the story, and did not talk to the Wash Post. Sounds like this is fake news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzTitan Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 At this point stuff could be reported for the sole purpose of creating a twitter storm by DT. Fake news with the intention to poke the fire and get real news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Would expect everyone in his administration to be "loyal" so it's gonna be hard to get info here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos27 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Gotta say this is a bit of a strange story. Both sides are using so much "nuance" that I can't really who's telling the truth. Let's see how this one plays out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 McMaster issued the second denial that was an actual denial. My comments were all in reference to his first "denial" which rebutted a point the WaPo article didn't make. That is in no way "becoming what I hate." It's not a voice of sanity, it's just an update in a developing story... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I don't trust McMaster and was disappointed when Trump brought him in. He is about to be shown the door though, IMO. What? McMasters is one of the strongest cabinet members he has. He would really piss off the military and it would be a huge misstep both political and practically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about the man but from everything I've heard he's a voice of reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even pretend to be surprised that he would do something so stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Very weird situation. He says "the story is false" but the things he specifies after that (sources, methods, military ops) are not claimed in the WP article... also this...

As I said, I don't know much about the guy but if what you're saying is true then that's the opposite of what I want. We'll see how it all shakes out.

Why bring him in if his views were so different though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
