I know there is a lot going on, but CIA agents were killed, captured, or compromised because Trump sold their names to our enemies.
Just thought I should remind everyone of that.

Do you know offhand of a good primer link on this for maybe-not-quite-as-left-as-me people whose radar this never crossed? That’s a bookmark I’d like to have handy, and right now it’s mostly just memories of tweets for me.

David J. Atkinson@Strandjunker @inthehands I will look for the reporting and links, but your googling might be better than mine. As I remember, it was more of a case of correlation, albeit mighty suspicious. The reporting said that Trump requested, and was provided, info about HUMINT assets in Russia. Sometime later, HUMINT networks in Russia were rolled up and at least a few of those snared were executed.

I'm still in awe of our collective tolerance of this mob boss.
@meltedcheese @inthehands @Strandjunker
I could anticipate that, but are we the outliers again?
@meltedcheese @inthehands @Strandjunker
We've lost our collective will or ability to recognize the distinction between dissidence and malevolence and be tolerant of only the former and very very intolerant of the latter. Damned Paradox of Tolerance!
Martin Vermeer FCD@meltedcheese @inthehands @Strandjunker As a side note, losing a source close to the RU government like this also makes US intelligence on Russia poorer, making policy and decision making poorer and increasing the risk of miscalculations. That also has a price, which may be human lives. John Sipher alludes to that in the article.
@Strandjunker @inthehands Another, relating to classified HUMINT documents found at Mar-A-Lago.

@inthehands @Strandjunker This also seems relevant.

SpaceLifeFormThe CIA also set up a flawed double encryption that was detected. Though, that was before trump.

Republican megadonors like libertarian billionaire Charles Koch believes every aspect of government & taxpayer-funded services should be privatized for his personal self-enrichment.
Prisons. Schools. IRS. Social security. CDC. EPA. Courts. Law enforcement. Military services. Roads & bridges. Airports. Rail. Water. Sewers.
Reminder: privatized water services in the UK, run into bankruptcy.
To #KochNetwork and Trump, a nation is just like a corporation ready to be stripped of assets, loaded up with debt, and sold piecemeal to the highest bidder.

Zorro Notorious MEB 🪷🪷🪷@Strandjunker I hate to be a pedant, but is there publicly available evidence of that? Sure, it's a possibility, but I don't recall anything more definitive than that, and for obvious reasons, I don't expect I will live long enough to see it.
Remember, you asked for evidence...
Remember Pompeo & Kushner flew all over the world in the waning days of the Trump administration.

@Npars01 @Strandjunker I'm well aware of all the reporting on ties between the GOP and Russia, and for that matter, Turkey, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, etc. What I am asking for is public specific evidence for the claim that Trump sold CIA agents' names to our enemies. There are obvious reasons why that wouldn't exist, so the claim is speculative.
"If your car is covered in drops of water, the house's eaves have falling water, the ground is damp, the humidity is high, the skies are dark with rain clouds, & all the streets & homes nearby look wet, it can be reasonably asserted that it rained recently."
Valid inferences can be drawn from indirect evidence. Evidence doesn't need to be testimonial. An admission of guilt isn't necessary.
Many a criminal has gone to jail based on circumstantial evidence.
Luna chan@Strandjunker Trump should be in prison for the rest of his life that alone as it put the entire country at risk.
