The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Thursday that President Trump might have disclosed classified information in an interview with Fox News this week.

“In his effort to once again blame Obama, the president appears to have discussed something that, if true and accurate, would otherwise be considered classified information,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, California Democrat.

In an interview with Fox News, Mr. Trump had said: “I just want people to know, the CIA was hacked, and a lot of things taken — that was during the Obama years.”

This guy is a POS.

” ... the president appears to have discussed something that, if true and accurate, would otherwise be considered classified information,”

1. Pure speculation, on at least two counts.

2. The President is authorized to declassify any and all previously classified material.

Yeah right - DONALD TRUMP's been the problem........

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

Wasn't that the name of the District Attorney on the TV series Law & Order?

[P-Marlowe]

He's the president. He decides what is or is not classified. If the president makes something that was classified public, then it is no longer classified.

Wasn't the topic the recent Wikileaks Vault 7?

Adam Schiff, tough guy.

[Political Junkie Too]

How does it rate compared to Obama outing Seal Team Six as the unit that killed Osama bin Laden, noting that the team was taken out in a helicopter crash a few weeks later?

Yeah, because those who did the hacking didn't know they did it until Trump made that comment. </sarc>

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Well duh...it was obvious the moment wikileaks released pt 1 of Vault7

[Hugh the Scot]

There shouldn’t be a CIA.

$15b a year in off-the-books black budget to start wars we don’t want to be in and persecute American citizens.

I don’t trust the bastards, and I never will.

[pgyanke]

Wait... it’s Trump just referring to Vault 7?

[oh8eleven]

Adam Schiff ...

[ColdOne]

Yep!

[reformedliberal]

Adam Schiff (HRC-CA), head D on the House Intel Committee and shaking in his effing Louis Vuittons that he’ll be found out for his part in funneling US national security secrets to Pakistan and through them, to the world.

WikiLeaks received the CIA *secrets*, which were conveniently located all together in one place, from either a hacker or an insider. They were released last week. Trump is in the clear.

But we do know what keeps Adam up at night, don’t we, folks?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Well Adam old boy, come back when you have a little more evidence than “might have”. Idiot. You California ‘RAT kooks really need to mellow out.

[Steely Tom]

Oops, we’re concerned about disclosure of classified information again.

[M Kehoe]

Maybe Schiff doesn’t know that the president can classify or declassify information? Or maybe Schiff didn’t read WikiLeaks?

Either way, Schiff looks like an idiot.
