The fact that current and former high ranking officials leaked this to WaPo says something.

It says they don't approve of the move and they want Trump to go down. Trump acted without any review any consultation. People on the inside are frightened and I see no way that his presidency survives this. The damage is so great to the Intel community that they will not tolerate him.

disrespecting the CIA and the FBI. Might as well go for broke and slam the NSA.

Blasting the leakers....but nothing about the content of the story or remorse over leaking classified information to the Russians.

I believe we're about to find out who the real patriots are.

But until he gets a BJ in the Oval Office, he's probably in the clear.

Robert Hanssen, of the FBI, was actually a spy for Russia who flourished for years inside the FBI under Louis Freeh without getting caught.

Information he gave to Russia got people killed.
