GOP senator: White House in ‘downward spiral’

[Amica Nostra 4,803]

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) says President Trump’s White House must reverse the “downward spiral” it finds itself in.

“The White House has got to do something soon to bring itself under control and in order,” he said Monday, according to Bloomberg. “It’s got to happen.”

Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made his remarks following a Washington Post report that Trump revealed highly classified intelligence information in a meeting with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador.

“Obviously they’re in a downward spiral right now and they’ve got to figure out a way to come to grips [with] all that’s happening," Corker said

Current and former U.S. officials told The Post that Trump relayed information from a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

The information was provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement. The partner did not give America permission to share the information with Russia.

A U.S. official with knowledge of the meeting said Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

Trump’s disclosure risks damaging the relationship with the intelligence source, which has access to ISIS’s inner workings.

Not looking good for the man you spend so much time sticking up for even though you did not vote for him

I just follow proof, I don't follow party or candidate fanaticism. If you feel like I should just jump on a bandwagon of leftist reporting that includes anonymous sources, and every type of conjecture under the sun that isn't proof, you're going to find yourself sorely disappointed. 

 

You call it sticking up for, I've not defended the guy whatsoever.. just attacked the shoddy allegations that have no proof.

I am just quoting a standing US Senator of the presidents party.  We don't know what intel he has but the man is not a fool.

This comes as a clear response to WaPo.. if this is who he's getting his intel news from, he's an idiot.

You are not defending Trump just attacking the shoddy allegations.  Got it.  

And his job performance, where would you put that?  Because as far as I can see the White House is a disaster zone..just saying

I've made numerous posts about his job performance, and where I've praised and criticized him, and even talked about my criteria if I were to vote for him in 2020. Do a search. I'm not going out of my way to prove anything to you when you have tools at your disposal.

Make better efforts at reading and not inserting your narrative into posts I do make, and you might be worthy of the diligence.
