The intelligence information shared by President Donald Trump with Russian officials that allegedly ‘unmasked’ Israeli operations included proof ISIS terrorists in Syria have been plotting to use explosive devices concealed in laptops to bomb passenger planes.
Last month, it was reported that the president had inadvertently revealed Israel intelligence as the source of sensitive security information during discussions with Russian officials. According to The Washington Post, during conversations with the Russian Foreign Minister and Russia’s Ambassador to the US, President Trump disclosed information obtained by a key US ally – information whose very nature revealed its source.
On Monday, a report by The New York Times identified the source of intel cited by the president, confirming that Israel was indeed the ally who provided the information to the US.
According to the Times report, the information shared by Trump with the two Russian officials was a plot by ISIS terrorists in Syria to conceal powerful explosive devices inside laptop computers, then use those bombs to down passenger planes.
Israeli cyber teams reportedly hacked into the systems of terrorists involved in the bombing plot, and were able to extract detailed information regarding the plan, including efforts to create bombs which could fool airport security X-ray machines, giving the appearance of laptop batteries.
It was this intelligence that prompted the US to enact a ban in March on laptops and other digital devices on flights to the US and UK from eight predominantly Muslim nations.

ISRAEL HACKED ISIS CELL TO UNCOVER LAPTOP-BOMB PLOT TO DOWN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS
BY CALLUM PATON ON 6/12/17 AT 11:03 AM
Israel’s top hacking operations against the Islamic State (ISIS) led to the discovery that a small cell of bombmakers in Syria was planning to down planes using sophisticated laptop bombs.
The New York Times reported the discovery of the crucial intelligence, one of the few successes achieved in cyber-intelligence efforts against ISIS, later leaked by U.S. President Donald Trump to Russia.
According to unnamed officials, the quality of the intelligence was such that the U.S. was able to discern how the devices would be detonated. The cell of ISIS bombmakers had designed the explosives to fool airport X-ray machines into interpreting them as batteries for laptop computers.
Ten airports across Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were placed under enhanced security measures that banned laptops and other items on the grounds of the intelligence in March following a directive by the Department of Homeland Security.
The department also briefly considered extending the ban across Europe, given the seriousness of the threat.
The closely guarded intelligence became public knowledge when, according to The Washington Post, President Trump disclosed details about the plot during a meeting in May with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

It later emerged that the intelligence had come from Israel, though it was originally believed it had been gleaned through human sources on the ground rather than hacking operations. Both the U.S. and Israel talked down the impact of the leak on intelligence-sharing operations in the run-up to Trump’s visit to Israel only days later.
The New York Times reported that U.S. cyber operations have had limited success in disrupting ISIS’s online operations over the past 12 months. Since the Pentagon announced a new line of cyber combat against the militant group in 2016, the mission has faltered in stopping ISIS from spreading propaganda online, finding new recruits, paying its fighters and sending out orders.
This is largely the case because ISIS has the ability to quickly re-establish communications hubs as soon as they go down.
Joshua Geltzer, who was the senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council until March, said there had been disappointment over the operations.
“This is just much harder in practice than people think. It’s almost never as cool as getting into a system and thinking you’ll see things disappear for good,” he said.

U.S. OFFICIALS ‘WARNED ISRAEL’ NOT TO SHARE SENSITIVE INTEL WITH TRUMP
BY JACK MOORE ON 5/16/17 AT 6:05 AM
U.S. intelligence officials reportedly warned their Israeli counterparts to exert caution in sharing top secret information with Donald Trump’s administration for fear of it being passed to Russia and then to Moscow’s ally and Israel’s arch-enemy, Iran.
Discussions between U.S. and Israeli security services prior to Trump’s inauguration on January 20 gave rise to concerns that sensitive intelligence might exchange hands between him and the Russian government, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported in January.
The paper published the report amid accusations of links between Trump’s campaign team and the Russian government. Now, just four months into Trump’s presidency, it has emerged that the commander in chief may have divulged highly classified intelligence to the Russian government.
On Monday, the Washington Post, citing officials with knowledge of the matter, reported that Trump boasted about top-secret information in his meeting last week with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.
Officials said he divulged sensitive information about an Islamic State militant group (ISIS) plot relating to aviation security that a key ally had secured, without the consent of that ally. It raised concerns among security officials that Russia could exploit that intelligence channel and identify the ally and method of intelligence used. Israel reportedly already had these concerns.
According to Yedioth, Israeli intelligence officials feared that its famous Mossad secret service would have its most sensitive methods and operations breached, potentially falling into the hands of the Iranian regime.
Fears reportedly surfaced after U.S. intelligence officials told their Israeli counterparts that it had credible information that Russian elements hacked the Democratic National Party servers to damage Hillary Clinton before Trump’s victory.
U.S. officials implied that Israel “be careful” of passing top-secret information to Washington from January 20 onwards until alleged ties between Trump and Russia were disproved. The implication was that Israeli information, which had been discreetly shared with trust for years, could reach Tehran and harm Israeli national security.
An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson declined to comment to Newsweek. A representative in the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not immediately available for comment.
Iran regularly threatens to destroy Israel and the security services of both countries work to target and limit the other around the world. Iran is working with Russia in Syria, offering ground forces and strategic assets to the Syrian government in the six-year-long civil war.
Whether the report is accurate or not, analysts are clear that the disclosure of Trump’s intelligence slip to the Russians will cause further damage for U.S. intelligence partnerships around the world, where concerns were already present.
“I think very basically I just think it’s going to impact trust issues that have already been negatively affected by Trump,” says Miriam Goldman, analyst at Middle East-based security consultancy LeBec International. “I think there’s going to be a lot of internal questioning about whether or not sharing information with the U.S. can continue.”
As president, Trump is permitted to choose who he discloses classified information to and any such disclosure would not have broken U.S. law. But Democrat senators, such as Mark Warner of Virginia, have warned that—if the Post ’s report is confirmed—it would mean top secret information was delivered to a government accused of interfering in the U.S. presidential election, one which has competing aims in the Syrian conflict, where it props up the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. The officials also reported that Trump had informed Russia of the intelligence ahead of key allies.
Trump’s National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster addressed the matter late Wednesday, saying the president did not reveal any military operations that were not already known.
“I was in the room—it didn’t happen,” he said.
“At no time — at no time — were intelligence sources or methods discussed, and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known.”
He did not comment the claim that Trump had discussed the ISIS plot with the top Russian officials.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made a similar denial to that of McMaster but admitted that Trump discussed “the nature of specific threats” with Lavrov and Kislyak.
It highlighted concerns among senators and commentators about the apparent lack of discipline of Trump to withhold top-level intelligence. “The White House has got to do something soon to bring itself under control and in order. It’s got to happen,” Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee and the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, told reporters in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, the New York Times reported.
“To compromise a source is something that you just don’t do, and that’s why we keep the information that we get from intelligence sources so close as to prevent that from happening,” he added.

Comey won
Not yet, you get the honourable and trustworthy, Jeff Sessions 2morrow..he would commit prejury unless it involves Russians.
"Agency’s response to FOIA request doesn’t exclude possibility of recordings created by other entity"
Wouldn't suprise me if Trump doesn't keep "private" recordings.
He's not that thourough or calculating.
With all he's shown it's clear Trump does EVERYTHING by the seat of his pants ,,,in other words he makes shit up as he goes.
The maddness of it all is all Trump had to say was "I was joking" when they asked him the first time about these tapes, but NOPE..... dude had to do the I can neither confirm nor deny shit.

First New Coal Mine of Trump Era Opens in Pennsylvania
President Trump lauded the opening of the nation's first new coal mine in recent memory.
Corsa Coal Company will operate the mine in Somerset County, Pa. - outside of Pittsburgh.
Corsa CEO George Dethlefsen said the mine will be a boon to the struggling local economy.
He praised Trump's easing of regulations and encouragement for fossil fuel exploration.
Dethlefsen told Leland Vittert that for the 70 positions available in the mine, 400 people applied.
"It's a hard day's work every day, but it's worth it," one miner said.
Vittert said the news contrasts with Hillary Clinton's message that she would "put a lot of coal miners out of work."
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D), who endorsed Clinton, joined the mine company in watching a video message from Trump commemorating the occasion.
R.J. Harris, a longtime host on Harrisburg's 580-WHP, said the mine opening is a "shot in the arm" for the Keystone economy.

It crazy to me...... that his stupid base thinks this is a legit shot in the arm when you have a growing list of countries moving away from Coal.
