The same meeting in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

A memorandum summarizing the meeting was limited to all but a few officials with the highest security clearances in an attempt to keep the president’s comments from being disclosed publicly.
It is not clear if the memo was placed into the secret system.

Y’all, we all want to see him gone. All of us. We are exhausted as the damage he does on a daily basis is enormous. We are losing patience with our Dem leaders but there are a few things we need to think about.
We have no idea what is really going on behind the scenes. We see the tip of the ice burg I’m sure. If you haven’t listened to @maddow #Bagman you really should.
