Pretty incredible, if true, that the CIA had to pull an asset out of Russia at least in part because of the President’s lax approach to classified information and the fear that he might have crossed a line during unmonitored conversations with Putin. https://t.co/5zyS3DEjYw

Just for some context, recruiting a source with key access is extremely hard. A source in a key position may happen once a generation, if ever. Keeping him or her safe is daunting work (See "The Billion Dollar Spy"). It is a big deal to lose these kind of sources. https://t.co/yHVY2kK6y5

“The Moscow informant was instrumental to the C.I.A.’s most explosive conclusion about Russia’s interference campaign: that Putin ordered and orchestrated it himself.” https://t.co/vjFTdp0Fgw
After the decision to extract the spy, Trump met privately with Putin and took the unusual step of confiscating the interpreter's notes. Intel officials again expressed concern that the President may have improperly discussed classified intel w/ Russia.https://t.co/OykStpTYeW

New tonight: Given NYT has now made details on Russian spy public, I can now report additional info we had withheld. Asset had direct access to Vladimir Putin, including the remarkable ability to take photos of presidential documents, and had served US for more than a decade. 1/ https://t.co/gyk8hA79k1

For what it’s worth this is a completely one-sided story planted by our intelligence community as a warning to Trump to quit leaking classified material. It’s very old news.
But, the Democrats are being warned as well.
The pro-Biden media, which is pretty much everybody including FOX, is telling the Democrats to “be careful and not go too far Left,” in their choice of a presidential nominee.
If the Democrats choose either Warren or Sanders the media will have three choices in their messaging.
A don’t vote for anybody message, a vote for Trump message, or a vote for Warren message.
The don’t vote message won’t fly and neither will pretending to be neutral and unbiased in the choice between voting for Trump or voting for Warren.
For the moment the pro-Biden media will continue to sell their “electability” lie.
Because the oligarchs and the plutocrats want to put back into the White House another Republican or Democratic Capitalist, Neo-liberal just like they’ve been doing ever since the end of the FDR’s administration.
“Don’t be fooled again.” Vote Left—-far Left.
