In 2017, U.S. successfully extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government. The removal of the Russian was driven by concerns that Trump mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the spy.cnn.com/2019/09/09/pol…
The Moscow informant was instrumental to the C.I.A.’s most explosive conclusion about Russia’s interference campaign: that Putin ordered and orchestrated it himself. nytimes.com/2019/09/09/us/…

The declassified whistleblower complaint has been released. 🚨 intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Wow.
Giuliani traveled to Madrid in August to meet with one of President Zelensky's advisers. US officials characterized this unreported meeting as a "direct follow-up" to Trump's call will Zelensky about the "cases" they had discussed.

In 2017, after Trump gave classified intel to Lavrov & Kislyak, the US extracted one of its highest-level covert sources from inside the Russian govt, driven by concerns that Trump's repeated mishandling of classified intel could expose the source as a spy.cnn.com/2019/09/09/pol…
The secret removal of the high-level Russian asset [due to fear that Trump could expose them] has left the US without one of its key sources on the Kremlin's inner workings and Putin's thinking at a time when US-Russia tensions have been growing.
#Maddow
Weeks after the decision to extract the spy, Trump met privately with Putin and took the unusual step of confiscating the interpreter's notes. US intel officials again expressed concern that Trump may have improperly discussed classified intel with Russia.

In secret mission in 2017, the US extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government - in part because of concerns that Trump admin repeatedly mishandled classified intel and could expose the covert source as a spy. cnn.com/2019/09/09/pol…
The decision to extract the spy occurred after May 2017 meeting in Oval Office in which Trump discussed highly classified intel w/Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to US Sergey Kislyak. The intel, concerning ISIS in Syria, had been provided by Israel.
NYT confirmed CNN story and gives more details about how operation to extract spy went down. CIA, worried about his safety, proposed in late 2016 to extract him. But "the situation grew more tense when the informant at first refused citing family concerns" nytimes.com/2019/09/09/us/…

In 2017, the US was forced to extract one of its highest-level covert operatives from inside the Russian government because Trump couldn’t shut the fuck up when the Russians were in the Oval Office.

cnn.com/2019/09/09/pol…
I’ve previously discussed some of the ramifications (beyond the obvious with Israel) of Trump blithely chatting with the Russians in the Oval Office.

Needless to say, sources deep inside the Kremlin are hard to come by. Trump likely ruined years — or decades — of cultivation.
Told ya it was bad.

“The signal that has been disrupting satellite navigation for planes flying through #Israeli airspace in recent weeks originates inside a #Russian air base inside #Syria, according to data collected by a #US-based researcher.”

“This interference to the GPS reception doesn’t appear to be specifically directed at #Israel, but rather...is likely collateral damage in an effort by Moscow both to protect its troops from #drone attacks & to assert its dominance in the field of #electronicwarfare” #Russia
