Without understanding the consequences of what he was doing. and largely the consequences to the people and the states that have supplied this information to us who would not want to continue sharing any intelligence stream with us in the future if they cant, of all things, trust the president of the united states not to share it with a country with whom we perhaps dont want to have this information. so these are the questions that general mcmaster has to answer. and, you know, again, i come bac...
