Did Trump just confirm the existence of a covert CIA program in a tweet?

LOL! But of COURSE you did!

What fun it must be to pretend!

Do you dispute my contention that the CIA operation has been known for a long time? If so, make your case. If not...well...you are dismissed.

The issue isn't shutting down the operation. It's more about the President confirming its existence.

It may not have been much of a secret, but I don't know that talking about was a good idea.

Well, that's why you aren't the President, I guess. Heck, even Obama's administration talked about it.
 
Nap said:
Why is him confirming it's existence an issue? Everyone who has any interest in American foreign policy already were aware of it. Even if it wasn't widely known, he is the president and it is his choice whether or not classified information can be disclosed to the public. If he were to decide to release all of our national secrets to Fox news tomorrow, it would be perfectly legal.

How, exactly, would you recommend that the GOP stop the duly elected President of the United States from doing anything, other than an action that could be defined as a ****ing coup d'état?

At some point, wouldn't they deem him unfit and impeach him?

I mean, i think we all agree that bar exists somewhere even if we disagree on where, exactly, that is.

That he shut it down isn't the point.

There is no point to the OP, it's just an LAT's via Alex Wigglesworth hit piece for their uninformed readership.

Again: that's not the point whatsoever.

Not at all surprised you don't seen that.

I am shocked the Republican Party is sitting back and allowing this moron to destroy and attack the intelligence agencies in this country.

Party before country is the GOP motto, and I will never forgive them, no matter how this ends.

WaPo: The CIA did this thing last week according to unnamed sources.
CIA: We neither confirm or deny our operations.
Trump: That's cause I shut those operations down!

It's of note that Trump connected the CIA, Amazon and Jeff Bezzos. It must be hard to look at Bezzos and not be envious of everything he has accomplished. 88 billion. How much is Trump worth?

Rofl...you didn't know this? It wasn't a secret. It was only $500 million for about 4-5 fighters.

Price tag for Syrian rebels: $4 million each - POLITICO

I'm sure that's coming, but it will be to Breitbart, Alex Jones, or the Enquirer.

Republicans are pretty much in a lose/lose situation. If they impeach him it will cost them the portion of their base that are genuine Trump supporters, if they don't impeach they likely lose more moderates who are tired of the nonsense. They are simply hoping to ride out the storm and hope Trump does something that the base would turn on him for. For many Trump gas already done what they voted him for (SC appointment) and just want to get through the next 4 years with as little getting done as possible.

I don't know if we all agree it exists.

Don't worry. If he is tweeting it now, I'm pretty sure he ran this by Putin a while ago to get his approval first. Especially seeing how doing what he tweeted is one of Putin's big wishlist items for trump to do and all.

Which is irrelevant to the POTUS coming right out in public and confirming it.

This really seems to be difficult for you.

No, the fact that it's public knowledge seems to be difficult for you to comprehend.

Now, please stop.

A little advice I received years ago; Never argue a point you know nothing about.

In this case 60 seconds or less on google would have saved you some embarrassment.

Then you have no point. Or, if you think you do then spit it out.

Let's see how hard you laugh when the Intel agencies shut out Trump completely because he's getting agents killed.

But then again maybe you don't care, he could shoot someone on 5th av. after all.

You seem to think the "intel agencies" are some kind of independent organizations. They are not. They work for the President and the people in charge of those agencies work for the President. They won't "shut out Trump" at all.

You Trumpsters are naive as hell. You proved that back in November.

So what? That's reporting, not actual confirmation by the guy who heads up the executive branch. This is definitely taxing you.

Sorry you have to pretend that you don't understand the difference between reporting and actual confirmation.

A little advice: if you have to be so laughably intellectually dishonest, what you're trying to argue likely isn't worth the effort.

Please stop.

Funny how Trumpsters don't believe the media and scream 'fake news' until they don't. Now a reported story carries the same weight as their King and master? No way!
