WASHINGTON — President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.
“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

I'm finding alot of this hard to believe.
1. I seriously doubt the CIA/FBI/NSA would give Trump operational details in such a manner that he could relay that information in the first place. You don't tell the boss everything.
2. If the CIA came up with a code word that is "easy to interpret" and could totally expose our classified intelligence, then we really f**k up.
3. The media has said they won't release the details of the confidential intelligence in the interest of safety. Bullshit. Release the information. It's one thing to tell a story about Trump corruption but then don't show your cards. I'm calling a slight bluff here.
4. Trump is way too incompetent to do anything right, including giving away secrets.
Do I believe Trump f**k something up? Yes. Do I think it's the level the media is saying it is? No. I want to see the details, stop holding the cards.

We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

Trump already admitted to it, Phos. Open and closed. Doesn't matter what classified material he was serving up to the Russians. What matters is that it has happened, and not even trump is trying to deny it. He's straight up defending f**k up classified materials, and after chanting "Lock her up!" with the crowds for over a year. Its awesome.
Doubt it if you want...but it happened regardless. At least according to trump himself.
