Jeez. I had read about the fact that we had more informants than usual being compromised. Do you really think it’s connected to Trump? If so, no wonder even the cautious Garland had to act.

What are republican (members of congress) saying now? I know they were all “FBI overreach” at the beginning but haven’t heard anything recently.

Here is the NY Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/05/us/politics/cia-informants-killed-captured.html

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.

You are way behind on the news if you are asking these questions. the Times article is from October 2021. The names of the people compromised are known to our Intel community. It won't take long to match them up with the files from Mar-A-Lago.

The implication is that Trump had these names, passed them to foreign government(s) and that's how these assets were lost, and then CIA sent a worldwide message to its workforce but didn't know Trump burned the assets. That doesn't make any sense.

That is not the implication.

What we do know: there has been an uptick in the number of intel assets identified in the last few years. There were documents that Trump illegally kept that were marked as HCS - which indicates that the document was classified to protect sources.

What we don’t know: were any of Trump’s documents related to any spies who have been compromised? were any of those documents sold/given to a foreign power? Were any of these documents stolen by foreign govts because of Trump’s carelessness?

So we do not know that there is any connection between Trump and the uptick in damage to our spy network. But given what we do know, it is not an unreasonable question to ask.

I wonder if Putin told him to give up names of informants during that meeting, and Trump reluctantly agreed to.

No one is saying CIA officers died. The allegation is Donnie might have given up the names of CIA informants (i.e. the people who give intelligence to the CIA). And, no, I wouldn't expect to hear about something like that in the usual course. We rarely do.

The main intelligence breach I recall hearing about that led to the death of a bunch of informants was a few years ago and involved China.

Here's what the PP said:

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

He didn't need a "list of CIA assets" -- their names are embedded in the documents he kept about specific operations.

"Oh look, we got some intel on Putin -- I bet he'd like to know that. And the name of the guy inside his circle who provided it."

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.
