U.S. Intelligence Officials Reportedly Warn Israeli Counterparts Against Sharing Info With Trump Administration
Shared information could be leaked to Russia and onward to Iran, American officials implied to Israelis in closed meeting, saying Kremlin has 'leverages of pressure' over Trump, Ronen Bergman reports.

Israeli intelligence officials are concerned that the exposure of classified information to their American counterparts under a Trump administration could lead to their being leaked to Russia and onward to Iran, investigative journalist Ronen Bergman reported by Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot on Thursday.

The intelligence concerns, which have been discussed in closed forums recently, are based on suspicions of unreported ties between President-elect Donald Trump, or his associates, and the government of Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

1. Trump sex tapes, debts to Russian mafia, piss tapes

would make a good movie plat

[Freethinker65]

2. It is going to get interesting really fast

[Raster]

8. that is probably an understatement...

...perhaps Mossad needs to do their own tRump assessment and publicly share... I doubt they're Putin fans, and tend to be beholden to no one. Besides, they are one of the world's intelligence services the KGB actually fears.

11. Russia voted for the UN resolution in which we abstained, so there can't be much love between them.

Haaretz reliable.

6. Yes, very reliable

[central scrutinizer]

4. Wow

Escalating warfare between the US intelligence apparatus and the incoming orange plague

[roamer65]

14. I am hoping it gets worse.

[LonePirate]

5. What an absolute clusterf*** we're in.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting things but is it implied that US intelligence officials are reluctant to share information with the new administration given how they are warning Israel not to do so?

Don't ex-presidents receive regular intelligence briefings? I'm almost wondering if the briefings 44 receives going forward will be more detailed/informative than the ones given to 45.

7. Groper Don the Con will learn fast that

you don't fugg with intelligence.
The American Political System is way stronger than this lunatic

[LonePirate]

9. The intelligence agencies may be the only ones to save us from the WH and Congress after Jan. 20.

[malaise]

10. Groper Don the Con will be the laughing stock of the planet and he will be stopped

Are their serious cracks in the system - yes but it is way stronger than this dangerous lunatic buffoon and his relatives.

[pangaia]

13. Not if he replaces them all...

[Ilsa]

15. Nothing really important. I wouldn't be surprised if

Our intel people gave him disinformation to pass on as a trial, to see if he's trading our secrets to them.

[aquamarina]

12. How does this square

with Bibi's apparent bromance with PEEOTUS?

[Ilsa]

16. Bibi better understand that Trumps first allegiance is to Putin,

not to the US, and not to Israel.
