McMaster Can't Remember If Trump Called Comey A
His memory seemed pretty good when he defended Trump divulging code-word sensitive intelligence a week ago...

Sure was. How embarrassing to have such a lapse of memory in such a short time.

Team Trump needs to start recording all these meetings, just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the funniest most ridiculous post of the day. You're saying a meeting with Russian officials and their state run media recording the whole thing was classified? Seriously, was the Donald handing out security clearances like party favors?

Not only that, but everyone who is going to be questioned regarding the investigations needs an attorney. It kind of sucks for aides and assistants, but that's what will happen. George Stephanopoulos had major major legal bills during the Clinton admin. If Trump chooses not to assist anyone--they are on their own.

So besides being investigated--it will cost them. The Trump effect.

Then he said that it was true but that it was perfectly fine and appropriate because Trump can declassify information at the drop of a hat.

Now he says he can't remember.

So which is it?
Agreed, this is really strange. He and Mattis are suppose to be the ones holding all this together.

Russian media photographers were permitted to attend.

Putin has offered to release transcripts.

Who knows? Maybe he did.

Sounds like McMasters layered up and was advised to not recall.

Trump Admin has not denied those portions of the discussions that have been leaked.

Its good karma for them for supporting a nutcase con man, of course he's not paying for them.

Any member of his staff needs to lawyer up.

POTUS has lawyered up. Warning signs in every direction.

Makes sense the US also has a transcript. Does the US and Russian transcripts agree?
