The existence of Pelosi's Afghanistan trip was classified

[Recursion]

Not anymore, I guess. This guy really needs to be kept away from state secrets.

1. Link?

This is the first I heard that it was classified. News reports I've heard characterize it as unannounced.

3. International travel of line-of-succession personnel and General officers is classified

They used to sting us on that when I had phone watch in the Marines. Never say "The General is returning from Iraq tomorrow".

For that matter, the "classified material" they found in Clinton's email was that: her daily schedule.

5. Well, when he cancelled it

it was no longer international travel.

[Recursion]

6. Yes, and he has the authority to declassify anything anyways

I'm mostly just pointing out what a complete dipshit this man is.

7. It was supposed to be a closely held secret due to security concerns

2. And cancelled.

Geez Nancy, you didn’t see this coming from a mile away?!
Trump plays tit for tat, and you were expecting to depart on a military aircraft this afternoon?!

8. If he's a counterpuncher, that's a wrist slap after a kick in the nuts

Doubtful that he knew anything about the trip before he asked his staff to find him a way to hit back. Maybe someone at the Pentagon gave him the info.

If he really knew how to play hardball he would let her get there before canceling the return flight.

What would he do if she got a Space A seat on a scheduled flight?

4. The republicans have now officially notified the kremlin

like the obedient little subbies they are.

9. The bloated blabbermouth botches it again

n/t

10. Nice going, President Dipshit.

Why does anybody tell him anything? It's well known that he can't keep his fat mouth shut and is about as subtle as a train.

11. You expected more from this man?

He openly invited his followers to take a shot at HRC. Of course he is going to mistreat classified information on Pelosi.

Remember when we thought the Valery Plame incident was a serious matter?

12. Pelosi should introduce a bill controlling how the President handles classified information

Usually the group that classified it is the one to unclassify it. This rule should apply even to the President. Might be a Constitutional problem, but screw that, let His Stable Geniousness defend his action in court.
