Malcolm Nance (US Intelligence Specialist) tweeted:

I don't know nor want to know #Trumpleaks source but he/she is going to bolt/get emergency extracted like now or get dead. #TrumpBurns literally kills

Meaning: the life of the source of the information that tRump* leaked to the Russians is now compromised and that person or persons need to flee for their lives ASAP.

Like all Russians protestors....they could find their life expectancies to drop at light speed.

Someone of NPR said even the janitorial services are overhearing classified info.

story about DFT sharing classified information with Lavrov and Kislyak is or could be in mortal danger.

And so that freaks me out - all this IC stuff, and US assets getting murdered, just as V. Putin murders - it just got very close to "home" (ie, my brain) when I read this.

Like - it can happen here.

I know what's happening in our country has happened to millions and millions of people throughout history, so I hope to stay...strong and resistant in their honor, and on their behalf...

They drugged and confined the wife of Nixon Attorney General John Mitchell because she was contacting WH reporter Helen Thomas. Just one of many I'm sure.

debunked/de-legitimized/publicly shamed people ever involved in US politics:

Nixon was later to tell interviewer David Frost in 1977 that Martha was a distraction to John Mitchell, such that no one was minding the store, and "If it hadn't been for Martha Mitchell, there'd have been no Watergate."

Wow, I never knew he said this.

A toast to poor dear Martha!!

The Russians took the intel, acted on it, there were consequences that we will never know about, and the "leaker" was either the Russians taking a victory lap or the Israelis (we've figured out that they were the ally with in-depth knowledge of ISIS) who will never trust the Americans until there is a new administration made up of serious adults.

I would love it if a history book of the early 21st century would fall through a space/time wormhole and into my lap.
