It makes the US look bad, hence makes Trump look bad. Someone close is leaking and needs to be stopped.

Anything that makes trump look bad appeals to hysterical anti trumpsters even if it hurts America

Not really. Manchester police went through MI-5 and MI-6.. they called the CIA and FBI since it's actually the US that has the massive database, not the GCHQ. We, the US, identified him and passed it on to the Brits.. that's how it always go when British are caught off guard.

Well that's a good way to rationalize it.

Perhaps true and accurate, perhaps not. This thing has all the signs of a staged event.

I honestly think you don't know who the leak the came from or why, but you have a partisan default mode of blaming Obama.

Apparently you haven't read the recent reports about the amount of spying on Americans being conducted during Obama's administration.

What does that have to do with the topic of this thread?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: liberals hate Trump more than they love America. They have no qualms about helping terrorists destroy American lives if they think the MSM will spin it as Trump's fault.

Leaks happen all the time for whatever reason.. maybe a NYT reporter was testing a source in the British Government or someone in the British Government owed a favor to NYT reporter for sitting on a story. You never known. Reality this is more about British Press and Government pissed about "protocol" rather then the information got out. British Press sits on information for the UK Government all the time. US press doesn't sit on stories for the US Government so why would they for UK Government?

I love the word "maybe".

Maybe if pigs had wings they'd fly.

Agreed, it is more about Britain's reaction to Trump follies than anything

And I don't fault them for it. Whether or not this particular event was leaked by US we all know there is a big problem with leaking in US government that has been going on for several years now.

There was an interesting interview of a former CIA worker who stated that heinous this may be, it wouldn't really cause many ripples in the US as US agencies first priority was the protection of the US and anyone else could go hang. It was a bit sad watching that.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet it was Pence behind the majority of damaging leaks. That snake in the grass knows the only chance he's got at being President is pulling a Frank Underwood.
