Trump has boxed himself into a conundrum: he is criticizing some media outlets for releasing "fake news" about alleged contacts between his campaign staff and Russian operatives. He is also criticizing his intelligence agencies for leaking classified information. However, both can't be true. Either the media is being honest and reporting actual classified information or the media is fake and therefore no classified info has been released. Which is it?

It's a case by case basis, whichever is best for Trump at the time LOL.

On the contrary, the intelligence community opened a Pandora's box that should worry everyone. If IRS targeting didn't worry you

That's a separate but legitimate concern. It doesn't address the question at hand, which is Trump may have severely contradicted himself by saying classified info was released, which confirms that the NY Times story is true, not fake.

It appears they are choosing not to vote. I don't blame them, it's an inconvenient truth. Their hero has painted himself into a corner. It's a crime to leak classified information! Fake news! Both can't be true.

I agree with you, but unfortunately Trump has redefined the term "fake news" to suit himself - if he doesn't like it, it must be fake.

the IRS didnt target anyone, but I actually agree with you about the leaks.


Yes, it is sad that we had to learn that Donald Trump knew about this 2 weeks ago, but wow. the way these leaks are going on should scare everyone.
