this story is blowing the gently caress up

he gave super classified info to them in the oval office

From Vox:

https://www.vox.com/world/2017/5/15/15643720/trump-russia-classified-intelligence-post posted:

Late on Monday, the Washington Post published a bombshell: President Trump had shared highly sensitive, highly classified information about the ISIS fight with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov when the two men met in the Oval Office last week.

The facts of the situation are a little murky, as the Post’s reporters (Greg Miller and Greg Jaffe) took a lot of care to avoid revealing any more classified information in their piece. But here’s what the Post scoop is clear about :

The information Trump revealed to Lavrov concerned information about an ISIS plot to bomb airplanes using laptops.
Revealing it “jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State,” according to the Post — specifically by giving the Russians enough information about the nature of the source to easily identify who or what it is.
That intelligence came from “espionage capabilities of a key partner,” per Jaffe and Miller. It was so sensitive that it wasn’t being shared with other allies, though we’re not sure which one it is.
Reportedly, the gaffe — something unprecedented in recent American history — came because Trump was bragging about the quality of his intelligence. “I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day,” the president reportedly said.

McMaster and Tillerson both denied it, and the WaPo article itself states that it was not illegal.

Seriously, wait for a real scandal because people are becoming desensitized on both sides.

POTUS can declassify and share classified material. Ask Bill Clinton and Obama, they were quite practiced at it.

Foreign diplomat: No, I do not believe you're really President.
Obama: No, really, I'm President!
Foreign diplomat: But they don't give you state secrets or classified information, do they?
Obama: Yeah, all the time. Look, I've got some right over here! <thrusts folder marked "Confidential" into the diplomat's hands>
