So the idea is that the Russians are going to tell ISIS and ISIS is going to kill that spy?

No, just that the nature of the information leaked could point to very few individuals, such as a spy.

I don't think so. This along with his interference in the FBI investigation is going to bring him down.

Ok, that makes sense.
It's very clear they are talking about ISIS in Syria & Iraq and not Al Nusra or Al Qaeda.

Gooooooooood damn I feel bad for this spy. I cant even imagine the courage it takes to be a spy inside ISIS.......especially a Jewish spy. To think that this brave person's life may end by unimaginable torture due to Trump......................Trump has to go; this can't keep going on; fuck every single thing about him. Israel must be livid.

What isn't this guy going to fuck up before this year is over?

It's impossible to explain just how bad that would be. Israel would no longer share intel with the US and would probably publicly condemn us, then we would be stuck supporting a nation that shit talks us every opportunity, and the Alt Right/White Supremacist wing would go nuts pointing out "this is why you can't trust those people."
Hopefully, getting impeached.

Previously it was flights from certain countries then that changed to possibly all exiting Europe, didn't it? Presumably the first ban made Isis change plans and this mossad spy gave updated information (which is now blown).

Literally my first post yesterday on this Trump giving intel to Russia story was that our moles inside ISIS may be fucked.
No half measures with this guy, when he fucks up he goes all the way

So with this coupled with the Comey obstruction of justice, at what point are we in the right to start a Tahrir Square style occupation of The Mall in DC to demand congress impeach Trump?

Let's not forget the "Hillary would have done the same" from not just Trumplets but some progressives as well

They have Arab agents as well.
The financials of finding, recruiting, training someone good enough to infiltrate Isis and get real information most be astronomical. Ignoring the human element (because Trump won't give a shit if this poor soul suffers in any way because of him), I would imagine Israel would be pretty pissed that it's valuable resource is getting got by their own allies.

Highly doubtful the spy was Jewish. Better to use assets in place, of course that person's contacts are also at risk, but if the spy is discovered, it is a horrible fate regardless.

Can we please impeach him now?
What's stopping you? Pack your shit and get it started.

A) Russia will try to find this guy and make him their own
B) Russia figures out how we got the asset and how we moved information, compromising American intelligence operations.
C) Russia tries to get to him with Assad and blows the cover of said asset and his ability to give intel is gone and is likely dead.

Not American so Trump supporters don't care. Hell, considering how many of them are anti-semitic...

Don't be so sure
Yeah, no thanks. I don't know why you'd hope for a terrorist attack just to undo something Americans did of their own free will. It's possible to undo it without people needing to die.

I'm enjoying Trump getting fucked over as much as everyone, but maybe the press leaks might endanger the agent even more.
I hope the press is being more careful than Trump was.

We do live in the darkest timeline. And it's one person's fault...

Think about it. She speaks in a weird dialect (that sounds like an heavy accent'd European trying to sound like an American) and uses odd lingo that no one else uses. And she said she can see Russia from her backyard. Of course, this makes no sense unless in her timeline the UNITED STATES IS FUCKING RUSSIA.

Trump literally said he could shoot someone on the street and he wouldn't lose support, and he wasn't wrong.

This clearly much more serious than Hillary emails private email servers. Where is Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP party? Or it doesn't count? Party over country much? Each Republican should be prosecuted if this spy's cover is blown.
Remember, the Russians knew this info for days before the story broke.

Another thing to consider is that Russia is currently allied with Iran and Hezbollah in the Syrian conflict. Those two are some of Israel's biggest enemies and they definitely wouldn't want them to have information on their intelligence assets.
Spetsnaz has been spotted wearing Hezbollah patches while embedded with them

He has been enormously inept and ineffective as POTUS constantly mired in self-inflicted chaos and everything seems to be falling apart. There's a bright light at the end of our dark universe.

Yeah, I've been thinking that too.
There have been people eager to hear what Trump specifically said. Currently whatever he said is known only by the people who were inside the room when he said what he said, and those who the Russian might have talked about it to afterwards.
But now as the situation is what it is and this whole thing has been on the air everywhere the people in ISIS definitely now know there is a mole somewhere.
If the actual discussion ever gets leaked and if it really had that sensitive information, the agent is done.
It's a double-edged sword. It is nice to be informed if something shady happens in the shadows so in theory it's good there are leakers like that to let people know about it, but on the other hand leaks like this have the potential to be the real reason why something potentially dangerous to someone actually comes into general knowledge, especially when there are tons of media around and everyone wants to beat others in telling the juiciest version of the story.
I mean, it is possible that Trump just telling it to the Russian wouldn't have caused anyone in ISIS know anything about the agent but now as it is the hottest news at the moment they definitely know there is someone somewhere.
Like, who ends up being the Geraldo here? Who ends up being the one that caused sensitive information to get into general knowledge in the end, Trump or the media?
But I guess the actual problem here initially wasn't the potential danger of this agent but the thought of "if Trump tells this to them now, what he might tell others later? We can't trust him with any intel in the future."
