Don't forget: The Trump campaign gave its most sensitive data to a Russian spy

To foreign spies, President Trump's relentless assault on the "Russia hoax" is the gift that keeps on giving. Last week, spymasters from Moscow to Beijing no doubt cheered as Trump injected foreign disinformation into the American political system - sowing ever more division in a bitterly divided country - for his personal political gain.

Perhaps worse, Trump's desperate attempt to rewrite the Russia probe amid a sinking reelection campaign has given hostile intelligence agencies unprecedented visibility into how America's spies (and spy catchers) conduct their ultra-secretive work.

There can be little doubt that foreign governments have spliced together three years' worth of selective, politically-motivated disclosures of secret documents to identify and exploit weaknesses in America's intelligence capabilities.

Worse yet, the cherry-picked release of surveillance transcripts, internal communications, sensitive testimony and meticulously detailed inspector general reports, among a host of other documents, is just the tip of the iceberg.
