Exclusive: US extracted top spy from inside Russia in 2017 - CNNPolitics

Washington (CNN)In a previously undisclosed secret mission in 2017, the United States successfully extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government, multiple Trump administration officials with direct knowledge told CNN.

A person directly involved in the discussions said that the removal of the Russian was driven, in part, by concerns that President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy.

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.

And US Allies wonder what the US can be trusted with, agreements are overturned due to tantrums and input from FOX News? Under Trump, next to nothing
 
You're saying this is a bad thing?
 
Is there still any doubt that trump is a Russian asset???

As I said in the other thread, that asset would have been toast by now.

Didn't Roosevelt basically give Eastern Europe to Stalin. Wasn't Roosevelt a Democrat?

Prove it or I'll assume that this is what the voices are telling you.

K. I get that but are you saying he'd be toast if he stayed because of Trump and his mouth or some other reason that I am not aware of as an average guy?

Do you not understand what prompted the removal of the asset?

How many had access to the assets ID? Not many-and Trump shoots from the lip

While this has not been verified, many think that it is plausible

Oleg Penkovsky - Wikipedia

GRU agent Vladimir Rezun, known for his controversial books under the pseudonym Viktor Suvorov following his defection from the Soviet Union to the United Kingdom, claimed in Aquarium to have been shown a black and white film in which a GRU colonel was bound to a stretcher and cremated alive in a crematorium as a warning to potential traitors,[15] and since Penkovsky is the only GRU colonel known to have been executed, Suvorov's story was taken by many to be an account of Penkovsky's execution.[16] A similar description of the process was later included in Ernest Volkman's popular book,[17] and Tom Clancy's novel Red Rabbit. However, Suvorov, in an interview in 2010, denied that the man in the film was Penkovsky and claimed that he had been shot.[18] Greville Wynne in his book The Man from Odessa claimed that Penkovsky committed suicide.

I have no idea what really went down, but the mango madman talks without a filter to the point where I would not take his word on anything. If he told me that my mom loved me I'd have to call and do a quick check.

If you knew your WWII history you would know that he didn't.

Nope this is what anyone without their head up their ass recognizes by his actions, just as you would if he was a Democrat...

I am more qualified to conduct foreign policy than Trump. If you knew my qualifications, you would be very frightened indeed if I ever conducted foreign policy.

I'm sure you and some of your comrades must be very proud of your abilities and accomplishments. You should not underestimate Trump. Look at how disappointed millions of democrats in 2016 were when they made that mistake.

This doesn't have anything to do with leftism or even foreign policy in general. This has everything to do with the fact Trump can't keep his mouth shut and can't be trusted with intelligence.

And our spies and agents cannot do their job effectively, to implement Trump's foreign policy, if Trump is constantly undermining them by exposing our assets.

Israel stopped sharing intelligence with us because Trump couldn't be trusted with sensitive info anymore. That's quite the "foreign policy" there.
