In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: CIA extracted a major Russian Intelligence asset... [View all]machoneman
(4,006 posts)6. Yes and a good move. But, note that the report states that Trump and some WH staff....
were alerted to the extraction(s) BEFORE they occurred.
One can bet that a.) they lied to Trump about the when....the agent was already safely away before they told Trump as the CIA isn't foolish enough to alert him beforehand and b.) it was likely more than one single agent although the most senior one is who they mentioned. Why tell Trump otherwise?
One can also bet our intelligence agencies alerted every single friendly foreign intelligence agency to be real careful or stop sending intelligence through normal channels at the same time. No doubt most allies see what the CIA saw: a Russian agent in the WH!
