So the idiot just waited until he was in Israel to confirm publicly that the intelligence he leaked to the Russians was from Israel? Smrt.
Aides and security was showing press pool out of the room and no one was shouting questions. Trump just dived in...

"I told Bibi, "I never told them it was you guys", so how could the Russians know?"

It's not a crime for POTUS to share classified info because he has the power to declassify anything.
The problem is that he's sharing info from an ally without asking them permission. It's strongly implied that Israel doesn't want to share info with Russia who is supporting Iran.
This could lead to Israel--and others--holding on to intelligence.

Funny, I was just thinking this weekend that someone needs to look into liquor sales since Trump became president....

"I said the Jews told me, I never said Israel!"
Yeah or Israel is playing Trump. More likely seeing as how unlike Trump's administration they aren't idiots. They knew he would spill the info. Bibi is just looking at how this dude is destroying his presidency, he can't wait on Pence to take over and attack Iran.

Trump's shriveled prefrontal cortex literally couldn't stop his rambling, raving and foaming id from forming the sentences that came out of vocal cords. Unbelievable.
Actually, yeah. The defense from the whitehouse was that he didn't share any sources or methods. It seems Trump may have thought all he needs to do is talk about how he didn't share any sources or methods.

It's amazing to watch someone screw up so colossally on like four levels simultaneously on camera for the whole world to witness.

So.... Confirming that he did in fact give up the intel, and confirming that the intel was in fact sourced in Israel. Nice work.
Oh, that made me laugh. Goddamn, Trump.

Trump is inching for war more than Pence would be, so I have no idea what you're thinking here.

This is at least reminding me how much fun the Suspiciously Specific Denial page of TV Tropes is.
And yes, there are many real world examples.

Is he going to say there was a ventriloquist near that made ot sound like he said that tomorrow?
The media reported Israel was the suspected source.
Trump is accusing the media of claiming that he told Russia it was Israel, two different things.

The source could be inferred from the leaked information.
So he was bragging about intel he gets, because they don't give him intel. Aww... I kind of feel bad for him, he's like a little kid in a wrinkly old bodyFrom earlier today, x-post.

Trump wasn't even briefed on this intel, he just had overheard talk about it. After the fact he was either briefed on who he compromised or read newspaper next day.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
This is INCREDIBLE
The media never claimed that Trump said the source was Israel, just that he revealed classified information from a partner that he did not have permission to reveal.

the best part for me is 'stops press pool leaving the room....'
he literally called them back to shoot himself in the foot.
while i hate this fool, I am getting more concerned for the senile angle. This will be his way out of prosecution if it goes that far most likely.

E.Trump calling home to Russia: "I forgot to tell you, it was Israel!"
I guess to me it seemed like they were splitting hairs. There were numerous articles about Israel being the suspected source and his qoute is sort of relating to that.
When I first saw an article like this I felt it was sloppy reporting and just gives people more of a reason to scream about the media bias.
