the problem was never that people thought it was illegal, it's just the principle of being the sole confidant of information and then casually telling other people about it. regardless of the nature of the information, it reflects badly on our ability to keep our word, and our current and future allies and partners will take notice.
But this isn't even something we, the general public, were unaware of? Was the recent ban on laptops on planes from certain countries and the explanation of it not sufficient enough to tell people "terrorists are making bombs out of laptops"? I can understand if he let loose with some super secret info about the US that no one even knew, but it's about CIA. Russia is also fighting CIA. Even if we didn't know, why not tell them? This is honestly ridiculous. I wish people would stop lighting their hair on fire whenever he does something. There are times where I see genuine criticism of Annoying Orange but assume it's bullstuff because nine times out of ten, it's Annoying Orangeed up hysteria.
if you're going to write off every reputable news source as "FAKE NEWS SHILLS" why even bother trying to argue anything? just be happy in your little make-believe world of denial and stop trying to drag us down with you
Most MSM news sources are either shills or completely disingenous. New York Times, CNN, Buzzfeed, etc, are comparable to Humble Water Filter Merchant in terms of unreliability in producing hard evidence and facts. Corporate media is a loving joke.
