Seems like Trump is referring to meeting w/ the Russians in the White House, where he disclosed highly classified intel on ISIS from Israel

he mentioned Israel.

.....Reports about the meeting have not claimed the Trump explicitly mentioned Israel as the source of the intelligence.

National security adviser H.R. McMaster, who was in the room, said last week Trump “wasn’t even aware of where this information came from” because “he wasn’t briefed on the source."

Russkie intelligence people reverse-engineering where that information could have come from would put an Israeli operative at or near the top of the list.

But that may have been only because President Trump didn't know where the information came from at the time he blabbed it. Now that he knows, he's more than happy to tell the assembled press corps that it was an Israeli asset that he burned.

An ignorant dumbass. Mind bogglingly stupid. And all with an attitude of such condescending superiority that sentient beings are left speechless in amazement and disgust.

What has been reported is that he provided highly classified intelligence and the city where it was procured. The press then correctly pointed out that this information can be reverse-engineered by Russia to figure out the source.
