CHINA KILLS U.S. SPIES. BUT ON OBAMA'S WATCH, SO NO DRAMA

The US intelligence establishment leaks in real time against Donald Trump, and claimed he may have let slip a secret to the Russians which may have exposed a spy which they may have wanted to shut down.

Or maybe not. Who knows, really: (http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.790030)
A Jordanian - and not Israeli - agent is the source of the intelligence information leaked by U.S. President Donald Trump (http://www.haaretz.com/misc/tags/tags-1.679173) to the Russians last week, Al Jazeera reported early Thursday.
The report, which cites a number of Jordanian sources, contradicts claims that it was an Israeli spy within ISIS who had originally gained the information (http://www.haaretz.com/us-news/1.789647) in question.

But it takes seven years for us to learn of a real intelligence brief (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/china-cripples-cia-operations-kills-informants-new-york-times-reports/news-story/720fe929375a47c5e8eb87dd63c3931b?login=1)that really did exposed intelligence sources to danger. But that happened under Barack Obama's watch, so who cares, right?:
Chinese government “systematically dismantled” CIA spying operations in China starting in late 2010 and killed or imprisoned at least a dozen CIA sources over the next two years, The New York Times has reported.
The newspaper cited 10 current and former US officials, who described the intelligence breach as one of the worst in decades...
Some investigators were convinced there was a mole within the CIA, while others believed the Chinese had hacked the covert system the CIA used to communicate with its foreign sources.

China killed CIA sources, hobbled US spying from 2010 to 2012
Reuters-May 20, 2017

The Chinese killed at least a dozen people providing information to the CIA from 2010 through 2012, dismantling a network that was years in the making, the newspaper reported.
One was shot and killed in front of a government building in China, three officials told the Times, saying that was designed as a message to others about working with Washington.
The breach was considered particularly damaging, with the number of assets lost rivaling those in the Soviet Union and Russia who perished after information passed to Moscow by spies Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen, the report said. Ames was active as a spy in the 1980s and Hanssen from 1979 to 2001.
The information began to dry up by the end of the year and the sources began disappearing in early 2011, the report said.
As more sources were killed the FBI and the CIA began a joint investigation of the breach, examining all operations run in Beijing and every employee of the U.S. Embassy there.
