The Washington Post reported Monday that President Trump revealed "highly classified" intelligence to Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during their recent meeting at the White House.

But the Post forgot to mention that the President’s conversation with Lavrov is itself among the most secret and classified matters our government holds – and the leak of key parts of that conversation is likely a crime.

This is now the third time in a short period that the president's most secret and private discussions with a world leader have been leaked to The Washington Post.

Such leaks are a serious and illegal attack on the presidency. They undermine the country, trust in the president and his ability to maintain global leadership.

There is a lot more of the onion to peel with this Washington Post story.

But when we continue to peel this noxious onion we discover the facts just don't measure up to the allegations.

The Post headlines that the president revealed "highly classified" information, suggesting this was perhaps either illegal, improper, or both.

Forgive me, but the last I checked the president is commander-in-chief.

He can decide what is a classified secret. He decides what can be shared with allies, adversaries, or even the public. That's his decision – not some bureaucrat's!

So, what was that intel the president shared that was so secret?

So, the REAL most dangerous thing is the fake news being sent by people afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome,and who do so with reckless disregard and abandon ignoring the safety and security of this nation.
