UK halts sharing bombing intel with US over leaks

[OscarQ]

Creating a new thread.  I mentioned this in the Russia thread but it doesn't really belong there.

Excerpt:  Britain has suspended intelligence sharing on the Manchester bombing with the US after American officials leaked information to the media, an issue that British Prime Minister Theresa May will raise with US President Donald Trump later Thursday.

US officials released the suspected bomber's name and other details of the investigation into the deadly attack at the Manchester Arena Monday night, irking British investigators scrambling to keep details of the probe confidential.

And this is what I'd said in the other thread: Has there been a thread on all the security and intelligence leaks? I know they've been covered as one offs but I want to keep a running list for every damn time some moron says we're safer with 45* in power vs Hill or any other D. Cause these F'ers think they love 'merica best and keep us safest and that is so far from true.

CNN alert just said May is warning Trump to stop the IC leaks or she'll stop sharing intelligence. Not making us safer. And I don't think this is targeted at the IC professionals but at Trump and his team. But IDK, I just have a hard time believing that true IC professionals would leak the Manchester stuff.

Breaking news WaPo: Trump orders Justice Department to launch full investigation into leaks about British bomb

This is the thing that makes me think collusion more than anything else. Attacking our alliances is Wargaming 101.

[In a statement issued amid meetings with foreign leaders, Trump responded...] “The leaks of sensitive information pose a grave threat to our national security. I am asking the Department of Justice and other relevant agencies to launch a complete review of this matter, and if appropriate, the culprit should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is no relationship we cherish more than the Special Relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.”

Why is this capitalized? Who proofread this? Ugh, he can't even write a simple statement without looking like a fool.

At least it's not unnecessarily in quotes..?
"Special Relationship"
I cannot stand this idiotic imbecile.

I'm obtuse this morning. Explain?

Meaning that it wasn't leaked by an American acting in the interests of America. It was leaked by someone acting on the interests of Russia (it would benefit them for the US and UK to be at odds with each other).SaveSave

There are so many Brits and Americans right now saying that Britain is lying about the leak, that it's not from the Republicans and that it's all from the Democrats trying to get rid of Trump. I just about cry in frustration. I just want to smack people.
