Evidence Trump leaked this? To the New York Times? Please.
Oh, let's see. How about the fact that he leaked Israeli intelligence information to Russia, then admitted it? There is one man who can't keep his big mouth shut for one second, and that's the orange man in the Oval Office. Besides, even if his underlings were the leakers, he's still responsible for their actions, and I'm sure he let them in on some grand plan of his and what he expected them to do to carry it out. It's obvious that Trump is a complete control freak and only wants people who do his bidding, no questions asked.
You seem to be the one that "doesn't get it" as you are trying to tie this to Trump when the UK was clear it was the US media and those "sources" who leaked to them.
It wasn't Trump and nobody but the angry Trump haters have said it was.
Why don't y'all demand the news reveal who their "anonymous" sources were so you KNOW who to blame? Unless of course you like it that way so you can just toss crap at someone you hate? Why oh why aren't you out there SCREAMING for an independent Prosecutor to figure out who the leakers are and jail them? Afraid of what they may find?
That can be changed -- take away the First Amendment of the US Constitution. No more freedom of the press. But then once you start taking away rights it becomes a slippery slope.
Trump is the leader of the country and of the government, he's in charge. What happens under HIS watch belongs to HIM. Just like anything that happened under Obama's time as Prez landed in Obama's lap.
WHERE does the buck stop? Other countries hold the leader of the country responsible to maintain confidentiality of information they share. That is how it's always been. If Russia does something we hold Putin accountable, we don't think "oh it's not him, it's just some low level Russian guy spilling what he knows." Every country has leadership and the leader takes on the burden of being in charge, and with it comes immense responsibility even if it's not faiiiiirrrrrr.
It is sad to see the looniness of the people who are anti Trump in this thread and blame him even though there is no evidence to support that he did. Sometimes the blind anti Trump anger overcomes pride for the country. What a shame.
From now on I will gladly support Trump firing people from the intelligence community and will not give a d**m about these loonies shedding crocodile tears over the firings, like they did for Comey.
I personally don't care WHO Trump fires. He can fire anyone he wants. However, neither Trump nor any President has absolute power, and if a president does something that is against the law or treasonous or obstructs justice or tries to affect or stop an investigation, then that President will have to answer for that.
Just like Nixon.
Nixon decided he had absolute power and anything he did was within his rights. He was so very wrong.

Apparently the same thing happened in 2005 after the 7/7 Attacks.

The episode comes just a week after US president Donald Trump defended his right to leak classified intelligence to other countries' leaders. Mr Trump has also criticised leaking from the US intelligence establishment.
But Lord Blair, former chief of the Metropolitan Police, said the “grievous” breach reminded him of the behaviour of US intelligence after the 2005 London bombings.
“I’m afraid it just reminds me exactly of what happened after 7/7 when the US published a complete picture of the way the bombs in 7/7 had been made up and we had the same protests,” he said.
“It’s a different world in which the US operates in the sense of how they publish things. This is a very grievous breach but I’m afraid it’s the same as before.”
If you like irony here's one: When Obama took office no one on the right blamed George W. for any lingering messes; they held Obama responsible from day 1.
But not snowflake Trump, oh no. Nothing is his fault. Everything remains the responsibility of who was in office before him.
Irony!
Trump refusing to take any responsibility for anything is one of the reasons people around him have no respect for him.
What a crock of lies. We know the Obama leftovers are the leakers.. Democrats are those who are going to be jailed when they are found out.
If you know who it was, why are you keeping it to yourself?
