Has anyone considered the possibility that Flynn & Co. may have compromised the identities [View all]

of US human assets (agents) in Russia during his time as National Security Advisor?

It seems to me there were a number of arrests in Russia on charges of "treason" and "espionage" of Russia citizens in the weeks following the Trump inauguration. Flynn (and Trump) would absolutely have had access to the identities of Russians working with US intelligence.

I don't want to float spurious conspiracy theories, but on the other hand it seems like a mighty strange coincidence that these arrests seemed to happen when they did, and I hope someone with the wherewithal to do so is checking this out.

It may seem beyond the pale for a high official in US intelligence to out our own agents like that, but then again we have the example of Valerie Plame.

I certainly wouldn't put it past the Trumpsters, given what we know now (and should have known well before the election).

What a week this has been! What a year, what a strange devolution of our politics.
