Newly released emails from scientists and top officials at the federal agency responsible for weather forecasting clearly illustrate the alarm caused by President Trump’s false claim that Alabama was in Hurricane Dorian's path last summer.

A top National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration official even called the president’s behavior “crazy.”

The emails, released late Friday in response to Freedom of Information Act requests from The Associated Press and others, give an inside picture of the scramble to respond to the president and the turmoil it caused inside the federal agency. In a more formal letter, McLean wrote that what concerned him most was that the Trump administration “is eroding the public trust in NOAA for an apparent political recovery from an ill timed and imprecise comment from the President.”

But Trump remained adamant, and NOAA came to his defense with the unsigned statement, which claimed some data provided to the president had indicated that Alabama could be hit by the hurricane and scolded the Birmingham office. The statement was issued after the White House and Commerce Department intervened, the AP and others reported at the time.Gary Shigenaka, a NOAA scientist, wrote to the agency’s acting administrator, Neil Jacobs, asking him to “reassure those of us who serve the public ..

It's not about information, and it's not important, people sometimes say things can have many reasons.

Desperate m/fers

Lately there’s been batches of emails released from trump or DOJ when will trump release his taxes or perhaps release the hush money payments agreement with pornstars involved these are still withholding information from trump corruption scandals trump needs to be transparent

Impeachment bullshit is over so this is what you’re peddling today?

AP and Reuters spend all day attacking realDonaldTrump. Yet gave BarackObama every pass under the sun including his 8 years of drone bombings, arming cartels and silencing journalists.

Man, AP is really having to stretch for some content now that that whole impeachment thing has fallen through.

hurricanes are predictably unpredictable. if dorian had veered south or straight west for another 500 miles it could have followed katrinas path, gone over southern florida and hit alabama, mississippi and/or louisiana. dorian stalled and went north, unpredictably.

impeach the sharpie

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel for anti-Trump headlines today, huh?

Derkowitz will explain that because chosen boy thought nation interests was at stake he was within his powers to hurt people.

Surely this rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. (My Lord you people are desperate.)

Cptnrwrpnts

It’s like watching North Korea or any dictator , even when he is obviously wrong and lying his staff are required to smile and go along with the lie or suffer his consequences .. this is not the United States !! We can’t trust our government on any level at this point .

neontaster

Oh shut up

Let it go AP. Surely, there are more important things going on. 🤔

Slow news day? Not even a story. You are transparent.

Get a grip people. There are real problems in the world.

Until I see the video of Trump drawing the extension on the map I am not going to believe it was him. Early in the storm's history it was projected to head into the Gulf. The National Guard was already mobilizing at the time.

Old fake news will you never stop bashing the president of the United States .

And Trump gets away with that too. No wonder he thinks he is a damned King. He does not have to pay the price for any misdeed.

Impeachment failed. Now its weather.

EnemyOfThePeople

Adam Schiff-“Is it impeachable?”

Ok now impeachment’s debunked ...let’s start bringing up old no news subjects move on people. Get a life

realDonaldTrump is a dotard.

Like the false claim about climate change?

Lest we forget, he read from an overlay marked off by... a weather guy.

Totally inappropriate and an abuse of power but not convicting for behavior that is false, causes unnecessary harm and was self serving. Get rib of this crook.

Wait until he tries to draw a map about the virus from China. Where’s that again?

I trust Trump over any 'federal agency'.

'journalism' 🤣🤣🤣

The Pres. Was told that. A Liberal had to post this. A Liberal is a POS

Why are you reporting about leaked reports, you guys are shameless and shameful

I thought he had a PhD in meteorology, weird.🤔

Go ahead and announce that you hate Trump and will do anything possible to keep him from being elected. I would respect you more.

Really. This is your news choice today. Really. So weak

Kinda quiet on the msm hate trump programming during the partisan sham impeachment now that msm knows its a bust Bring on the bs attacks from the past and whatever else along with the kitchen sink i truly believe dem heads will literally explode when he is reelected lol

oh give it a rest...….Seriously? Better safe than sorry and those people know that.

neontaster Finally some real news! Go on, tell us more plz

neontaster Next impeachment campaign already beginning

propaganadaintheusa This tweet is dumb to the third power.

Actually and factually Alabama was in the cone of uncertainty at one point, take that from a Floridian who reviewed the National Hurricane Center website every few hours. Your expert meteorologists and their models changed the map often within hours as they were at a loss.

OMG... Let it go already... holy crap. Who cares. Its over..

Wow such a bombshell I suspect you will be throwing many before the acquittal on Wednesday.

MSM: failed to impeach out of office, but we proved he lied about Alabama!!! U got’em, congratulations !

neontaster

🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is what media desperation looks like.

TeresaMWalker He lies every time he opens his mouth.

Why did I think you were the one news source that wasn’t biased?

lol back to this I guess since all the other shams haven't worked

Wow breaking fucking news

the alarm created? ha! Alabama has got better sense to get all upset over what somebody says MIGHT happen, IF the hurricane decides on this POSSIBLE path a week before it MIGHT happen, IF it even happens.She lost and Epstein didn't kill himself, now that you can take to the bank.

Move on.

Does Pelosi know about this? I see Impeachment часть вторая on the horizon. KAG2020

according to the picture...there is a possibility it could reach Alabama? in black? either way...she lost! that´s life, find a better candidate next time.

No sarcasm, no sarcasm, no sarcasm😬

Because he’s stupid...but most of Americans already know that VoteBlue

neontaster *yawn

The GOP just made sure this liar can continue to endanger the world.

AP hates the President-

I really hope trump passes a law that requires all senators with pretty daughters to bring them to the white house for sleepovers.

Staaaap! Full freaking stop. I remember when the AP was a widely respected organization! 🤔

Ole AP hates trump.

Lol you guys really love to reach for whatever you can. Doesn’t it get old?

He does no wrong ! Senators say so. He can do what he wants.

Emails....scientists...top officials....Trump....weather....isn't that every single headline everyday?

TWC NOAA ? National Weather Service Space Weather · NOAA Weather Radio · NWS CAP Feeds · · Climate Monitoring · Past Weather · Monthly Temps · National Forecast Maps · Doppler Radar National Mosaic · Forecast · Active Alerts

The media will never leave our President alone, yet look how successful he is. Can’t wait to vote for him again in November.

A trip down memory lane to remind us all of what an impeached FuckingMoron trump is and will always be. Forever!😉

WOW! I see a Pulitzer in the future for this hard hitting investigation!

I live on the coast of Alabama, at one time, Alabama was in the cone of expected landfall

neontaster AP is on it! 😂

Recycling news against Trump. The give-o-shit-ometer on this is below 0%.

Have they forecast the Landslide that will occur in November?

Hey AP, you’re sure spending a lot of time trying to find news

Sounds like the snowflakes are running out of things to cry about.

They’ll be fired Monday, Trump will “get rid of them.”

So fake but nice try

How many lies is this that he’s now been caught in? Y does anyone still believe anything that comes out of his mouth or his a Twitter account? Our Presidents a joke and he’s destroying our country.

Last summer? Is this still a thing?

more AP fake news propaganda

EnemyOfThePeople

Oooh, emails urging over preparedness.

Let me fix your headline... “I Hate the President and I will twist everything to make him look bad” there all fixed for you.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

G's us H Christ are back on this agian. We already know he was a idiot on this too. This is OLD OLD news

neontaster Russia collusion fails, roll out Ukraine, fails, roll out hurricane forecast for impeachment cause.

Impeachment is officially behind us. And here comes the AP, who clearly hasn't learned a damn thing about journalism. Orange. Man. Bad.

oh good grief, this again?

No witnesses allowed!

Alarm? Another non newsworthy story from the AP

Call it what it actually is. A lie. A huge damn lie.

Get a life!

Still hung up on the story? Exhibit No. 984 why ap is a 💩 show

“I’d only care if it was the black president.” - 37% of America

😂😂 Unfortunately for the FakeNews media we the ppl have already seen a host of reports repeating what the president was saying. JUST ANOTHER FAKENEWS OUTLET

He’d prefer national hysteria over simply admitting he was incorrect. Such a tool

Seriously? You got nothing better to cover?

🙄

neontaster I see the new shiny object is being beta-tested.

OH STFU !! Seriously ? If they were alarmed then they should be fired since anyone at the 'federal agency responsible' shouldn't be looking to the president for weather forecasts. WTF ? This is the dumbest post of the day !

A lot of wasted time on dumb stuff.

neontaster Oh geez... I guess this mean the impeachment hysteria is officially a flop!

Those who remained silent during this presidency chose their job over decency. Replace them all. Your silence cost people their lives.

Lying from a President costs lives.

Oh ffs,

Where were you when it mattered?

OMG this again.

He’s a liar.

Ever wonder why Trump keeps winning?

Guess the impeachment hearings didn’t go your way!

Great. Now do the rest of them.

Impeachment fail, so now the FakeNews MSM is going back to something that happened last summer to attack Trump. Totally predictable.

Omg you bias clowns are talking about this while a virus is causing havoc to the world

So an ounce of prevention is no longer worth a pound of cure?

Alert: Donald John Trump is a pathological liar! Folks, do not be shocked...

Ok, now do Schiff.

Recycling 24 hour drive-by news now.

Shame on you, AP.

Yes...Trump is to blame for Alabama not getting hit by Hurricane Dorian.....everything is his fault.....don't you know that?

Or we could talk about Coronavirus

neontaster Why does it matter, weather forecasting is always a 50/50 proposition.

He’s category five idiot

How is this still a thing

I live in south florida on the west coast. The weather channel warned us that we were in the path of the storm. The next step would be for the storm to move north putting Alabama in the path of the storm. The president was correct.

neontaster Are we still doing this? I thought WWlll was the new news?

Impeachment is out. What else we got team? Quick, someone dig something up. We are going to need to make up another scandal. Pathetic.

neontaster FFS let it go AP

🙄

You don’t say. Sharpie

What about when the meteorologists cause panic when a hurricane ends up nowhere near where they say it’s going to go?🤔🤔🤔

Slow 'news' day?

And the trump cult will continue to normalize the rejection of science.

Oh no! Keep trying libs

Trump lied. It was another illegal act by a lawless POTUS. SharpieGate

Yes do everything possible to take the spotlight off of the dems illegal sham impeachment

Uh oh don't say that. Dems will want more witnesses and maybe a new impeachment inquiry based on the weather!

Slow news day?
