Two years ago, after Trump was in office for four months, the media and the Democrats went ballistic, because he warned Russia of a terrorist plot against one of their airliners. Well, more ballistic, because we all remember that the media was All Trump All The Time, 24/7.
The general tone of the blitz was that it was Absolutely Outrageous for Trump to try to save a civilian airliner from being blown apart in mid-air (the way that had happened over Egypt, during Tight Lipped Obama days, when a Russian civilian airliner blew up over Egypt, killing 224 people, including 17 children, just after Russia joined Syria in their fight against ISIS in Sept. 2015).
The reason given was that the information Trump gave them came from Israel, and protecting their sources was deemed much more important than the lives of hundreds of people. They also claimed that Trump shouldn't declassify classified information without permission. They claimed that the plot was another ISIS plot, but that the US should have let ISIS blow up another plane, because......classified.
"If true, it is another indication that you cannot possibly control this guy," Wayne White, a senior intelligence official at the State Department during the George W. Bush administration, told POLITICO.
Interestingly enough, in recent days, a New York Times article stated that the US is attacking the Russian electric grid, but that the "intelligence community" didn't let Trump know about it, for fear that he would tell the Russians again.
They just don't trust Trump to let them destroy another country's infrastructure unimpeded.
Not only is that a mind-blowing step forward in having the Paper of Record substantiate that there is an unelected secret team that actually runs things in this country, but they casually mentioned that the reason they didn't tell the elected president of their scheme was because he had warned the Russians of a previous scheme in 2017.
Oh, you mean the "ISIS terrorist plot"? That was actually a US plot? How very interesting.
