In reply to the discussion: Former CIA Station Chief in Moscow: Trump is a Russian Agent [View all]matt819
(10,749 posts)If the COS Moscow identifies an American citizen as a Russian asset, he informs CIA hq. At that point, the agency is likely to inform the fbi, as it becomes a counter intelligence matter. Whether the Russian asset is Donald trump or Donald Duck, it is highly unlikely that the agency would keep this information to itself.
So, at some point fbi has this info and, in turn fbi counterintelligence. They are likely to coordinate with agency counterintelligence on the case, which would, in any case, be very closely held.
So there would now be at least a small handful of people who know this, probably including the attorney general at least at the time this information was reported.
Btw, if trump is described as an asset, he is an asset. There is other terminology that is likely to have been used if he was merely unwitting.
Now, what we need us a book on this element of the farce they is known as the trump administration.
