https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/575384-cia-admits-to-losing-dozens-of-informants-around-the-world-nyt/?fbclid=IwAR1rYwM0XE3hg8hbxwLqpczephKBiiL_NU2BQtvjDPwq9CW_rZuTG2xSGfQIt is obvious the traitor gave this info to the Russians, probably the day he had them in the oval office.
Why is this not talked about more?
And listening to Randi Rhodes today, was Jamal Khashoggi an informant and did the traitor and his son-in-law sell him out for the $2 billion?
Leading counterintelligence officials issued a memo to all of the CIAs global stations saying that a concerning number of U.S. informants were being captured and executed.
The CIAs counterintelligence mission center investigated dozens of incidents in the last few years that involved killings, arrests or compromises of foreign informants. In an unusual move, the message sent via a top secret cable included the specific number of agents killed by other intelligence agencies, according to The New York Times.
Officials said that level of detail is a sign of the significance of the cable. Announcing the specific number of killings is rare as that figure is typically held under wraps from the public and even from some CIA employees, the Times noted.

Then, Jared got his 2 billion from MBS.

Did you listen to her when we had Randi Rhodes Message Board back when she was with Premiere?
There is a "chat" on the youtube version of her show.

(2,201 posts)8. Great idea. I listen/watch her show on a smart TV, so I don't catch the chat.
I guess that I'll check that on a phone or computer.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I've been listening to Randi since she followed Neil Rogers on WIOD 610 in Miami. Now, 610 is radical RW nut jobs 24/7.

(34,069 posts)6. These are the issues identified in teh memo
The memo also noted long standing issues like placing too much trust in sources, a speedy recruiting process and inadequate attention to potential intelligence risks among other problems.
The uptick in compromised informants highlights the more sophisticated ways in which foreign intelligence agencies are tracking the CIAs actions. These mechanisms include artificial intelligence, facial recognition tools and other hacking methods, per the Times.
The New York Times also reported that CIA case officers were sometimes promoted for recruiting spies often regardless of the success, performance or quality of that spy.

Sounds to me like issues in selecting, vetting, and training informants.
