If true, this exemplifies what those of us who served in intelligence knew all along. While it may be legal for Trump to publicly disclose classified information, it is an extremely bad idea as it exposes sources and methods of how we likely got the information. In this case a human source that needed to be extracted because he was burned.
I mean I guess that he could just be incompetent and damaging our intelligence assets in Russia by accident... That would be the best case scenario at least. The POTUS being dangerously incompetent is not much or a best case scenario.

So an unnamed official claims that an unnamed spy was extracted in a super secret operation that we will never know about because Trump talks too much about classified information.
There is no way to vet or verify one iota of this story.
Given the relationship some intelligence services have had with Trump vis a vis Russia, I can't take this report at face value without something to corroborate it.
Amendment -
Turns out that there is more to the story, Turns out the agent that was extracted was endangered due to Obama Administration leaks to the media (collusion!) when Trump wasn't President yet in 2016. Individuals like Brennan and Clapper - now CNN employees - talking to media people and leaking information in order to further what would become the two+ year collusion narrative. Given the sensitivity of the information, this points the finger pretty squarely at Brennan.
We don't know for sure who leaked the info that ultimately compromised the agent, but we do know who was manning the White House and Intelligence Services at the time.
And it ain't Trump.
All this from that bastion of Trump propaganda, the New York Times.

C.I.A. Informant Extracted From Russia Had Sent Secrets to U.S. for Decades
American intelligence officials had previously tried to extract the source from Russia in 2016, but the informant had initially refused.

1SG (Join to see) - Thanks for the update! Always important to get the facts right. So we burned the source to inform the American people of what the Russians were doing. I wish we took it more seriously.
"The decision to extract the informant was driven “in part” because of concerns that Mr. Trump and his administration had mishandled delicate intelligence, CNN reported. But former intelligence officials said there was no public evidence that Mr. Trump directly endangered the source, and other current American officials insisted that media scrutiny of the agency’s sources alone was the impetus for the extraction."

MSgt Steve Sweeney - I guess there's no way to let facts get in your way.
Pretty clear that Brennan is your leaker, both to CNN and in 2016. Pretty good chance it was him in 2017 too.
Ain't no fucking Russians in the White House, guy. If there was and Trump was some kind of Manchurian candidate, the Russians would be on the march all over. Except they aren't. They are trying to extricate themselves from their Ukraine quagmire and cleaning up the mess from their high-speed weapons systems blowing up.
Don't you see? It is all bullshit. It was always bullshit. This story was bullshit.
Except this time, the bullshit story actually implicates the real leaker of classified materials - a guy who happens to be on CNN's payroll and has been all about telling everyone who would listen about how the Russians were coming to take over the elections. Even Obama said that was impossible. So one could reasonably conclude that this was a figment of a handful of IC officials' imagination.
I am no fan of Trump, and didn't vote for him. But this attempted coup is a danger to our republic. One I swore to defend and protect. We don't have to agree. I imagine you actually fervently believe what you believe to be true.
If it were all true, the Democrats would vote to impeach, and they would have the support of at least some Republicans. But they won't, because it isn't true. And if they really had decent ideas, Americans would vote for them. But they won't because they don't. Which means for more years of this gong show.
Every minute the left spends boxing at windmills for shit that won't happen is a minute that they are not spending articulating their vision for America. That is how they lose.

You are internet dead to me, Msgt Sweeney. The repeated jabs at my intelligence and integrity were the last straws.
Enjoy retirement and trolling people.
