Suppose Obama Had Shared Israeli Intelligence With The Russians

As it turns out it is Israel is the ally whose intelligence President Trump shared with Russia (no doubt to the delight of Iran).


Of course, conservatives like John O'Sullivan are trying to argue nothing to see here. Forgive me if I don't take National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster at his word when he says the Washington Post story is false. This is the same H.R. McMaster who won't say if The Western Wall is in Israel. As someone who has prayed at The Western Wall let me him assure him that it is.


Let me put it this way. If it had been revealed President Obama had divulged Israeli intelligence to Russia how do you think conservatives would have reacted? They would have gone apeshit.


Conservatives who would have been happy to criticize Obama for such a transgression but not Trump are just as hypocritical as the liberals who bemoaned the firing of James Comey, a man who deemed responsible for Hillary Clinton losing the election.


The long and the short of it is that our Allies trust President Trump at their own peril.
