He disclosed it to the Russian government, which is not necessarily improper. The US and Russian government share classified info all the time; they tried to warn us about the Boston Marathon bomber after all. Some #resist idiot who thinks he's a hero then leaked it all to various news outlets, doing way more damage. It thankfully seems that these agencies heeded the warnings of the US government that publishing the full details would be highly damaging, but I doubt that news agencies are equipped with SCIF-equivalents that would adequately protect the information from other prying eyes.
- bogomipz 9y agoAgain you stated: >>""My government has taken the action it deems appropriate to defend the country and its citizens, while still protecting the cover of the agent or asset that gave us the intelligence."" Well then they didn't do that did they? Your own interpretation of what is and isn't "proper" in matters of intelligence notwithstanding, they failed to do what you are stating above. "They" being your government. By the way the "deep state" conspiracy narrative is really tiresome.
