NEW: The IG report makes identity of at least one alleged Steele "sub-source" obvious—raising q's about the motivations for DOJ's declassification decisions.
“I would LOVE a roadmap like this from the Russians or Chinese,” said one former intel official.

The report includes FBI notes summarizing conversations w/sources, revealing identifying details—one sub-source was described as being subject of a YouTube video and press reports; another was said to have “direct access to a particular former senior Russian government official."
Experts said the depiction of sources and vetting in the report could pose problems for the U.S.’ information sharing relationships, and undermine the FBI’s recruitment efforts.

“Who wants to be a source if you can’t keep a secret?” said another former intelligence official.
