"President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said that Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State."

so after WaPo broke this story, the trump administration quickly sent people out to deny the report (Tillerson and McMaster). Both Tillerson and McMaster as individuals at the meeting stated that the report was entirely false. This morning, the president decided to tweet this:

it's astonishing how trump's people will go at lengths to defend him and clean up messes he makes, just for trump to go ahead and contradict their statements. Just wow...

How did they exaggerate it? We have European intelligence officials saying they might stop sharing intel with the U.S. because of this. WaPo is the same outlet that broke the Flynn story which resulted in his dismal. Their reporting is accurate.

You have literally nothing to back that up with. Is it even possible for you to acknowledge that Trump f----- up? I mean could you imagine what the headlines would be on Fox News or Breitbart right now if a president Clinton had done this?

CNN reported on this almost a year ago now. So did WaPo. A DNC staffer who was killed a year ago is a bigger problem than Trump handing out top-secret intel to our adversaries and jeopardizing our alliances in Europe?

As if Trump hasn't gotten enough bad publicity, according to NYT Trump asked then director of the FBI James Comey to shut down the investigation into Michael Flynn. This is according to a memo that Comey wrote after his conversation with president Trump back in February.

“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

This is clear cut obstruction of justice.

Hey, @Xmipod your Seth Rich story is falling apart.

It took only hours for one of the biggest stories in conservative media this week, which some outlets had chosen to focus on over news that President Trump disclosed classified information to senior Russian officials, to fall apart.

On Monday night, Rod Wheeler, a private investigator and Fox News contributor, put things in motion during an interview with WTTG-TV, a Fox affiliate in Washington.

Wheeler, who was under contract with the family of Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee staffer who was fatally shot in July, told WTTG-TV evidence existed that proved Rich had been in contact with Wikileaks before his death.

For months, right-wing media outlets have floated unproven theories that Rich was the person who provided Wikileaks thousands of internal DNC emails, and that his death might have been connected with the supposed leak.

No real evidence has been provided to support such claims and Washington's Metropolitan Police Department, which continues to investigate the murder, says there is evidence to suggest he may have been the victim of a botched robbery.

Nevertheless, a handful of right-wing media outlets have latched on to the theory -- and Wheeler's remarks on Monday allowed the narrative to once again ricochet throughout the conservative media universe.

"NOT RUSSIA, BUT AN INSIDE JOB?" asked Breitbart, the far-right website previously led by White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, which said that "if proven, the report has the potential to be one of the biggest cover-ups in American political history, dispelling the widespread claim that the Russians were behind hacks on the DNC."

"DEAD DNC STAFFER 'HAD CONTACT' WITH WIKILEAKS," declared the headline of the Drudge Report, the highly-trafficked conservative news destination.

Fox News on Tuesday morning joined in the chorus, publishing a lead story on its website about the "DC MURDER MYSTERY." The story said Wheeler had made the claim Wikileaks had been in contact with Rich. It added that a federal investigator, who it said had spoken on the condition of anonymity, corroborated it.

But Tuesday afternoon, Wheeler told CNN he had no evidence to suggest Rich had contacted Wikileaks before his death.

Wheeler instead said he only learned about the possible existence of such evidence through the reporter he spoke to for the FoxNews.com story. He explained that the comments he made to WTTG-TV were intended to simply preview Fox News' Tuesday story. The WTTG-TV news director did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

"I only got that [information] from the reporter at Fox News," Wheeler told CNN.

Asked about a quote attributed to him in the Fox News story in which he said his "investigation up to this point shows there was some degree of email exchange between Seth Rich and Wikileaks," Wheeler said he was referring to information that had already been reported in the media.

A Fox News spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.

Earlier Tuesday, Brad Bauman, a spokesman for the Rich family, released a statement in which he said the family had "seen no evidence" to suggest Seth Rich had been in contact with Wikileaks.

Bauman told CNN the outlets that had run with the story "have shown over and over again that they are willing to lie and manipulate the facts" to further "their own political end."

"I think it's important for everyone at Fox News to be careful with this information and how this story breaks because using the legacy of a murder victim in such an overtly political way is morally reprehensible," he said.

Bauman also said the Rich family was reviewing possible legal action against Wheeler for speaking about the case publicly. A contract between Wheeler and the Rich family prohibited Wheeler from speaking to the media about his ongoing investigation, Bauman said.

"It is possible that this private investigator is in breach of a non disclosure contract," Bauman told CNN, adding that the private investigator's public comments have "seriously impeded the ability of the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate."

Asked whether he was in breach of a contract, Wheeler said, "I don't know, it's hard to say."

"I think that's something I will have to work out with [the family]," he added.

Wheeler was put in touch with the Rich family through Dallas businessman Ed Butowsky, who told CNN he had offered to pay any bills associated with the investigation.

"You have a family who can't afford a PI. Their son was killed. So I offered to help out," Butowsky said.

Butowsky, a financial adviser, has provided commentary to Fox News on a number of occasions. He has also written columns for Breitbart, and was critical of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

Speaking with NBC News, Butowsky had denied his involvement with Wheeler and the Rich family. Asked why, he told CNN, "I didn't want to talk to NBC."

Butowsky also said that, thus far, he hasn't "paid any money to anybody." He said Wheeler was investigating the Rich murder at no cost.

No evidence. There's nothing here. You're following another pizzagate-esque conspiracy.

Look I'm older than you and I have seen this my entire life.

The Clinton's were the real outsiders that Trump never was.

Bill grew up dirt poor with a step-dad that would beat the s--- out of his mom and sisters.

Him and Hillary were successful Democrats in the Conservative south. They were and are extremely hated for that. Arkansas is where all this crazy right wing fan fiction started...

All this un-provable conspiracies... from Bill running coke out of the Governor's mansion to Bill and Hillary having numerous 3sums with other women (well, that might be true).

That moved on to how the Clintons murder 50 people and made them all look like suicides.

Have you ever got a blow job and no one else knew about it except the two of you?

I know I have... many times. Not really too hard to have that happen and let that slip into your fondest memories or maybe a regret.
But... not too hard for no one else to find out about it.

You know who can't do that? Bill Clinton.

Have you ever murdered a public official and then covered it up in a way that a multi year investigation by some of your worst enemies can't find a way for it to be anything but a suicide?

It's hard... a lot harder than getting blown by an intern and keeping it from the whole entire world.

This s--- is dangerous. Before the internet, there were books written about all these fake scandals and Clinton conspiracy theories.

You know who read those books and bought into that s---? Mike Huckabee... the Governor of Arkansas after Clinton.

One of the big conspiracy theories that was written in the book was the one about Wayne Dumond... the man that r---d Bill Clinton's 17 year old 2nd cousin that he had never been close to... because of she was Clinton's 2nd cousin there were several conspiracy theories written in books saying that Dumond was an innocent man and he was railroaded and mistreated by Bill Clinton.

Huckabee bought into those stories and eventually commuted his sentence and released him from jail.

Dumond would later go on to r--- and murder another woman.

All because people believe this s---.
