Media: man it was really stupid for Trump to have a one-on-one meeting with Putin and then let Putin divulge all the supposed details in bad faith.

NYT Publisher: Hey I just got an idea.

Today, Trump held his first national security council principals meeting since becoming president some 500 days ago; this is remarkable for its delinquency. Even more remarkable is the fact the meeting only lasted 30 minutes. This is a staggering & worrying level of incompetence!
