I'm relatively surprised that Trump was even given such classified information to begin with. I would have thought that the security agencies would have given him the equivalent of an "unplugged controller" the way big brothers do to little brothers to prevent them from screwing up their video game.

Regardless of political opinion, that is just not possible. A major role the IC is responsible for is keeping POTUS and policy makers informed of important bleeding edge information.

Ah the Russian narrative again, must be exhausting to read this stuff and believe it.

Under-investigated treason and abuse of power are exhausting, yes.

The alleged information was disclosed to Russian officials, I don't think there is any narrative or question regarding that.
