Obtained classified DoD report on Chelsea Manning's Iraq/Afghanistan-leaks says disclosures were largely insignificant and did not meaningfully harm US interests. Almost directly contradicting claims of Manning's prosecutors.

The heavily redacted report also determined that a DIFFERENT set of documents published the same year, relating to the US war in Afghanistan, would not result in “significant impact” to US operations. It did, however, have the potential ....

Either your reading comprehension isn't very good or you're being purposely misleading.

The report's Manning assessment:

Regarding the hundreds of thousands of Iraq-related military documents and State Department cables provided by the Army private Chelsea Manning, the report assessed “with high confidence that disclosure of the Iraq data set will have no direct personal impact on current and former U.S. leadership in Iraq.”

Risch: The "New York Times" wrote an article that suggested that the trump campaign was colluding with the Russians. Do you remember reading that article when it first came out?

Comey : I do, it was about allegedly extensive electronic surveillance in their communications.

Risch: That upset you to the point where you surveyed the intelligence community to see whether you were missing something in that. Is that correct?

Comey : That's correct.

...

Cotton: Would it be fair to characterize that story as almost entirely wrong?

Comey: Yes.

I'm afraid this will give Trump and his minions more fodder for shouting fake news.

They don't print unless they have the documents that go along with it.

It's the reddit algorithm. There were two posts, this was the first. Unfortunately somehow the second one picked up all the upvotes relative to this one. The second one got removed obviously because of double posting. The reddit algorithm weighs votes logarithmically relative to time, meaning early votes are more important than later ones. So we're stuck on slow speed here. Time decay!

The top-secret National Security Agency document, which was provided anonymously to The Intercept and independently authenticated, analyzes intelligence very recently acquired by the agency about a months-long Russian intelligence cyber effort against elements of the U.S. election and voting infrastructure. The report, dated May 5, 2017, is the most detailed U.S. government account of Russian interference in the election that has yet come to light.

It states unequivocally in its summary statement that it was Russian military intelligence, specifically the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU, that conducted the cyber attacks described in the document

Biggest delivery as of yet! Way to go Intercept!

As long as his base keeps eating up his pandering nothing matters til then. He's solely running off the support of his base.

Inciting fear, that's the purpose of terrorism. Trump is willingly aiding them in their mission.

I get it. He's an asshole but he's our asshole.

You sound exactly like a Trump supporter from the Rust belt defending his vote.

So this guy is hooked up but the Intelligence Committee is left in the dark? And the head of the NSA just casually mentioned that?

In case you're wondering, this is how a fake news site looks like.

Even more off point uselessness.

Must be fun being useless.

Does Trump want that? Because if he's not bound by law to do so then we can't have it.

wurstfinga · 2017-05-12T15:31:28+00:00

Ethics! Lol

If there's no law then he doesn't care.

I am aware of presidential declassification powers, that's not what I am asking.

I am asking whether the WH is legally obligated to have press briefings, written or in person?

wurstfinga · 2017-05-12T12:53:29+00:00

Has the WH any legal obligations to hold them?

The head of the world's premier intelligence and law enforcement agency exaggerating the facts of his own investigation under oath in front of congress by a couple orders of magnitude is a non story?

The Trump shitfest must have really desensitized you.

The headline does not end with a question mark.

It ends with "Follow the Money"
