#4 Real question - why is it proving difficult to figure out who leaked this info. Wouldn't be down to the folks in the room to know what was discussed? That would leave a couple americans and russians. Anyone have any insight on this?

#5 # Yosemite Sam, I believe one of the guys in the room said the Washington Post made up the story, and then Trump semi-admitted the story was true (nothing wrong with sharing that kind of info that keeps planes from being blown up).

#7 The President has Executive Privilege and legally can declassify whatever he wants.

#8 Regarding Russian transcripts, would a foreign ambassador be allowed into a meeting wearing a wire?

Also, who would trust transcripts that could be invented wholesale.

#9 He also declined to say whether the White House would share transcripts of Trump's meeting with Lavrov with lawmakers who have asked for them. Lawmakers? Well, technically, that's true but they are a whole lot of other things too.
