The Kremlin-backed Itar-Tass subsequently shared a number of photographs of Trump entertaining Lavrov and Kislyak.<br />What are the risks of Trump’s actions to intelligence-sharing?<br /><br />The story plays to existing fears among some allies about the president’s close relationship with Moscow. They could react by reducing intelligence-sharing, with a potentially devastating impact on security. The biggest impact is likely to be felt in counter-terrorism, where attacks can be planned on one side of the globe and executed on another.<br /><br />Richard Nephew, a former National Security Council and state department official now at Columbia University, said: “People may die, including American citizens, if fear over Trump leaking leads to refusal to share sensitive information in the future.” He added: “I think it may be impossible to overstate how bad and dangerous this might turn out to be.”fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546762254541549688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-53624723847443343332017-05-16T11:36:38.089-04:002017-05-16T11:36:38.089-04:00Fred.

They were not in the Oval Office just as much as I was not in the Oval Office .... so how do they know that President Trump was pontificating? Especially since the only people who were in the Oval Office during this meeting are saying that this was not the case. The Intercept is also saying that President Trump's morning tweet undermines Director of National Intelligence McMaster's denial yesterday .... actually it does not. No sources, methods, or operations were revealed .... that is what McMaster was saying, and President Trump is certainly not claiming that, and neither is anyone else who was in the meeting. So again .... I go back to the beginning .... who to believe?
