8 Talkbacks for this article
1. The Washington Post did the most leaaking.
Jackieboy   (05.18.17)
What if the Russians were not unduly interested in either analysing the source, or making the matter public. In that case the WaPo were the ones that made it all public and pointed whoever was interested in the right direction...
2. another day of completely overboard reaction to Trump moves
Cameron   (05.18.17)
Still waiting for something to be presented to legitimately inspire doubt or concern.

Nothing substantial or damning on the table.
3. Mr
Peter Yolkin ,   Tel Aviv   (05.18.17)
The only real damage has been done by a mole inside the White House who leaked the story to the press and irresponsible journalists who chose to report it in excessive detail. Driven by narrow-minded political ambitions, hyperinflated ego and obsolete cliches they (and by no means Trump or Russians) compromised the intelligence and possibly its source. Isn't it obvious? Russia fights against ISIS and suffers from its attacks. If the data that Trump shared helps to avert a disaster like a blast in a Saint-Petersburg subway or an aircrash over Sinai I will be happy to shake his hand
4. the harm was done by the person(s) who leaked to the press
C   (05.18.17)
it became standard procedure since obama became president to
leak top national security secrets to the press. the obama administration,
including obama and hillary clinton, leaked some of israel's most
closely guarded secrets, yet there were never any complaints in
the press.
it is difficult to assess what trump told the russians. it is possible
that what he told them was out of bounds.
yet, with the leaks in the press, through anonymous sources,
the damage has been largely compounded. this article itself
contains information that should not be public.
5. Time has runn out to play the blame game
DOV ,   USA   (05.18.17)
The president of the of United States is a saint and genius and is not responsible for his actions. How idiotic for commenters on both Facebook and Ynet to keep chanting the same mantra over and over again "Obama and liberal news media is responsible for everything that happens that goes against Trump. The reality is that Trump is not fit to be president of the US. Time has run out to play the blame game people.
6. HOW DID THE PRESS GET ITS HANDS ON IT?
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (05.19.17)
I'm sure he dis nto call the press. Whoever told him leaked it to the press too. That is the only way to look at this. Another garbage American politics
7. Hold your breath - put the champagne on ice
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (05.21.17)
Trump is about to be impeached for the crime of
well nothing at the moment - but I am sure something
will come up
8. Hey Fishman, Israel has already shared this intel with Rusky
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (05.21.17)
