   Should Trump be charged for giving classified info to the Russians?
   
   When Trump met with the Russians a day after firing Comey as the FBI director he is alleged to have revealed classified info to the Russian obtained from an ally country. This info is said to have put many undercover agents in peril as well as causing our allies to not trust the US with classified information.
   
   What are your thoughts if this turns out to be true?

   The answer is no, because what he did is not illegal, according to many experts.
   
   But David Gergen is one of the most respected presidential advisors in Washington He served Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton. He said Trump has violated his oath of office and has shown such a high level of misconduct that he is not fit to serve.
   
   He also said that Trump has entered "impeachment territory" because of the pressure he put on Comey to drop the FBI investigation into Michael Flynn.

    This is a very serious matter. R's better wake up and smell the coffee. It has nothing to do with Trump haters. I think he's a moron, but wished him well, if he chose staff carefully he could maybe have been a success. I never realized his Trump empire was just a family biz, he doesn't answer to shareholders and or a Bd. of Directors. He is a lowly real estate developer, rich enough to buy whatever land and material he needs.
    
    There is no reason his daughter and son in law should be in on classified meetings. Ivanka is an idiot who suggests a strawberry milkshake a day makes everyone happy in her book. She would have no biz if it wasn't a floor downstairs from Dad. Her hubby is another money grubber, the marriage was probably arranged and she's too stupid to realize it.
    
    He never divested his money interests, fired Comey while being the subject of an FBI investigation, and Flynn was already in trouble before he was part of the cabinet, Trump knew and tried to get Comey to stop the investigation. He gets payoffs from Putin. He even hid behind Hillary last week, who although disliked, did know how to run a country. We look bad all over the world.
    
    His skill set does not stretch to be able to run a country. There's been a scandal everyday since he was elected. He took over the country the first day as President Elect, and robbed Obama of the last 2 1/2 months of his Presidency. Now he's broken so many laws, told so many lies, it's a criminal investigation. I hope he's out by the end of the year.
    
    And I'm sick of "Moral Christians" who will steal the shirt off a dying person so they can hide more money in their numbered accounts. Obama at least made inroads with healthcare, with enough decency to care about other fellow human beings, as Jesus expected of you moral hypocrites.
    
    The "fake news" was another invention of Fox News, like the old War on Christmas. Uneducated people believe this nonsense. Sorry about Roger Ailes, but the station should be taken off the air. CNN is bland, and MSNBC has R's in it now, and is telling truth. Coal mines in most states have been shut down now, even in PA. He lied to his voters through his whole campaign. Melania appeared to go on this trip with him, and was so ashamed she didn't hold his hand or wave to the crowd. She's the brains in the family.
    
    We need a free press, or do you want to be a country like Russia? Criticizing the press just shows stupidity. News moves much faster than it did during Watergate. And what Nixon did is nothing compared to this.

    He hired Michael Flynn after several people told him of his ties to Russia. I think Trump has deep ties to Russia because that's all we have heard about since day 1. I'm pretty sure after he is out of office, we'll see "TrumpVilles" all over Moscow.
    
    I am a tried and true bleeding heart liberal democrat. So this answer may be a bit biased, but if I'm very honest, I hoped he would accomplish some of the things he talked about during his campaign. It's clear there will always be chaos, with no legislation in sight.

    Trump is not breaking the law by giving the Russians classified information. He is the only person in the country that can do so without being charged.
    If it was a clever move, I don't think so. What I do know now is that Trump is not a politician and not clever in his role as a president. He is making one political amateur blunder after the next. Like firing the head of the FBI without thinking about the consequences.
    And last in the line is to visit Saudi Arabia before visiting Israel. He has no feel for diplomacy whatsoever. This lack of understanding of how the democracy in the US works will be his downfall. He thinks he can run the US like a business with one boss who dictates all. That's fortunately not how it works.
