"I Never said the word Israel"...

[Allandavid]

Nobody reported that you did Donnie.....nobody reported that you said the word "Israel" in your leaking-to-the-Russians meeting.

But thank you for confirming whose intel it was that you leaked.....

Certainly. Only too happy to highlight yet another foot-in-mouth moment...

Trump: I never said 'Israel' in meeting with Russians

 

[Hammster]

How is that a foot-in-mouth moment?

As I said above, no one had reported that Donnie had used the name "Israel" in that meeting. He was denying something that had never been claimed...

Yes, but no one said that Trump gave that away in the meeting with the Russians (that it was from Israel). It was that he gave away intel....and then later on, it was reported that the intel came from Israel.

And...??

 

[Allandavid]

And?

And...why go to such lengths to deny accusations that had never been made...? And he was, in fact, claiming that he had been so accused, because he said "this is another story you got wrong"........there was no such story!

 

[Hammster]

And...??

You said "Hewas denying something that had never been claimed..."

It was claimed.

They really need to hire Alec Baldwin to impersonate him on these trips so they know he'll behave.

You said "Hewas denying something that had never been claimed..."

It was claimed.

This reminds me of a saying I heard from Mike Huckabee that goes, "When you tell the truth the first time you don't have to try to remember what you said." It seems like the anti-Trump media forgot what it said.

Please show where it was claimed that he had mentioned Israel's name in that meeting with the Russians.

Again, please show where the "anti-Trump media", or anyone else for that matter, claimed that Trump had mentioned Israel's name while he was passing on intel to the Russians. The furthest the reports went was to state that the Russians would be able to work out the "source of the intel" from what Donnie had blabbed...

Too bad Trump can't ever seem to remember.

And, as pointed out above, the "anti-Trump" media did not forget.

The media claimed Trump gave the Russians code word classified information, with enough of the details that the Russians could piece together where the information came from. A day or two later, it was reported that the Israelis were upset at Trump because he leaked information they had shared with the US. The media never claimed that Trump used the word "Israel," much less that he told the Russians how we got the intel; merely that he gave details that would allow the Russians to figure out where the information came from.

Every time the Trump White House has tried to "deny" this information, they make denials about how Trump never released the information about where we got this intelligence (it was never claimed, it was reported he gave details that the Russians could easily figure it out), or other similar "denials" that no one ever claimed happened.

Thank you Maren. You summarised this far better than I.

The media has been claiming a lot of things against the president without providing a smidgen of evidence.

Given that this is Trump we're talking about - oh the irony.

So you say. But this was a case of the president claiming that the media had said something...without a smidgen of evidence!
