and who thinks everything would be different now if donald trump had not directly caused the extraction of this spy from inside the Kremlin?
"The decision to carry out the extraction occurred soon after a May 2017 meeting in the Oval Office in which Trump discussed highly classified intelligence with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and then-Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak. The intelligence, concerning ISIS in Syria, had been provided by Israel."

(52,317 posts)They allow Donnie to remain a viable political force with little mention of the fact that his foreign policy with virtually entirely about aligning himself and America with putin, at the expense of our allies.
This after breathlessly and endlessly obsessing over what a supposed security risk Hillary was due to the e-mail pseudo scandal. They seriously went around saying Russian might have seen those email and that's why it was a "serious" problem, even though there was zero evidence of and harm done.
The msm would deem a democrat disqualified for jaywalking while declaring a Republican a powerful leader for committing murder.

(32,748 posts)... the Chump was a Russian asset.
They never gave him any important "eyes only" reports after that. They knew he would give them away to Russia. If you recall, it was early in Chump's first year that he dispensed with the daily briefings etc. and the intelligence organizations stopped giving him secret information. Rightly so!

In any case, apparently our HUMINT capabilities were severely degraded.
