I realize this is the new fun parlor game right not, but I find the total speculation clickbait irritating. It would be incredibly helpful if someone that had worked extensively in the IC and in or with the White House would come out and talk about the types of information that would routinely be provided to the President, because a list of CIA assets ain't it.

That doesn't mean the President COULDN'T obtain that information, but a request like that would be highly scrutinized and even pushed back on. There's this perception that because the President has classification authority and is cleared to see pretty much all intelligence based on the office that he or she can go fire up a computer and spit out every sensitive piece of information the IC has. That's just not true.

If the IC has a HUMINT source within Putin’s inner circle who has provided information about a matter of Russian state security known only to a handful of military officers, how long would it take the FSB/GRU to find the mole? Trump didn’t need need to know the name of the asset or the CIA case officer. A little information is a dangerous thing. Like when he burned an Israeli operation or when the CIA had to extract an asset from Moscow. This isn’t some game.

Very sad, but how could Trump be linked to these issues, given the confidential nature of the topic?

Are you serious with this question?

Well if you're going to lay deaths of agents working on behalf of the US - hopefully American citizens, since foreign agents won't generate the same sympathy from the right-wing you're targeting - at the door of the former President, then you'd better have something better than "he may have leaked secrets to foreign leaders and agents all throughout his 4 years as President and beyond!" and "CIA reports spike in agent deaths and imprisonment in 2021!".

You've got to put yourself in their shoes and think like them. Right now all they'll say is: "Darn, that CIA is incompetent. No, Trump keeping docs has nothing to do with this. He's a brilliant man. Of course he would never endanger any our agents. Hey, how many of our agents are actually Muslim and double agents, BTW?"

You know how their lonely little neuron works.

Brilliant! I never thought of it that way.

Light sunday morning reading. This MAL search affidavit is interesting. Also, I think FPOTUS is funny and should not be used, ever again, to refer to any other person. F that particular fpotus

Maybe FFPOTUS is a good acronym for Trump.
