If Trump wants to have a conversation about the United States mishandling highly confidential information from Israel, he might not like where it ends up.

Remember the Lavrov/Kislyak Oval Office meeting in 2017?

Hours before the FBI announced its probe, the Republican former president published an odd item to his social media platform, declaring:

U.S. leaked highly confidential Documents from Israel. May have come from Defense Department. Israel has been seriously damaged and compromised by this. Wartime strategy and data. Probably came from Defense Department. MUST FIND THE LEAKER! Israel no longer wants to share documents with U.S., and who can blame them!

Note how the GOP candidate went from saying the information “may have come” from the Pentagon to “probably came from” the Pentagon over the course of a few sentences......

In 2017, just four months into his presidency, the Republican welcomed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak into the Oval Office — at the request of Russia’s Vladimir Putin — for a visit that was never fully explained.

As part of the get-together, Trump reportedly revealed highly classified information to his Russian guests for reasons that have never been explained.

“This is code-word information,” a U.S. official told The Washington Post at the time. The then-president “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

NBC News reported soon after the classified information that Trump shared with Russia for reasons unknown came by way of ... wait for it ... Israel.

Seven years later, the former president was nevertheless online, writing: “U.S. leaked highly confidential Documents from Israel. ... Israel no longer wants to share documents with U.S., and who can blame them!”

Self-awareness is not among this guy’s strengths: Those who leak information from Israel shouldn't complain about someone allegedly leaking information from Israel.....

Given his extensive history of leaking, that made sense, though if he wins in two weeks, Trump will regain access to the nation’s secrets, which he’ll then be able to start divulging again.
