        Because they acted to attempt to stop further leaks by a treasonous president. (Don't necessarily agree, but that's the argument)

        Yup. But they didn't need to SHARE THE CITY with the WaPo and CNN to do that.

        Yeah. The folks doing the leaking may have been well-meaning, but maybe not super-sensible. Better than average for the current WH, though.

        I thought WP withheld the part that they were asked to. They checked with McMaster prior to running story.

        Just a guess but because the leakers went to WaPo after the allies were informed. Purpose of leak is to force action domestically.

        I understood that the WH contacted those allies after Trump flapped his lips. Besides... seems like it's necessary: http://theresurgent.com/i-know-one-of-the-sources/ …pic.twitter.com/XDm1UVtq1V

        Because 1) WaPo went out of it's way not to reveal secrets in its reporting 2) WaPo hasn't been complaining re: leakers 3) WaPo isn't POTUS

        assuming sources can trust reporters to keep the most sensitive info secret better than Russia can be trusted--and WaPo track record decent

        this is a little Mike Rogers-esque no? Disclosure to the Post informed the allies about prior disclosure to Russia but not really same thing

        Does it follow that the officials urging WaPo to withhold details are the same officials who tipped WaPo to the story?

        It reads to me like it could be the sources they used to confirm details urged them to hold back some info they got from the initial tips.
