Brennan and other ex-CIA officials fume about declassification order, but ignore that gov't officials have already leaked a ton of source/method information that was considered negative for Trump. dailycaller.com/2019/05/25/bre…
Some stories that disclosed very sensitive details:
-Putin directed attacks on election
-FISA on Carter Page
-Downer tip sparked probe
-Stefan Halper was FBI informant
-Azra Turk is gov't investigator
-CIA has a male Kremlin asset close to Putin
-Putin directed attacks on election
-FISA on Carter Page
-Downer tip sparked probe
-Stefan Halper was FBI informant
-Azra Turk is gov't investigator
-CIA has a male Kremlin asset close to Putin
Leaks can come from a variety of places. But these leaks all pushed the narrative in one direction (an anti-Trump direction). Many of the articles were sourced to current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials.
Peter Strzok suspected CIA leaked intel on Putin directing hacks. He later thought CIA was behind inaccurate leaks about intel sharing w/ Brits.
Bottom line -- Trump and Republicans have pushed for declassification of stuff on Steele dossier and Carter Page FISA. The Brennans of the world are now shifting goalposts to claim that declass will be of intel on CIA's Kremlin assets.
To put a finer point on it -- the people fuming about declassification out of fear of source disclosure or cherry picking of intel were silent abt the leaks listed above.
