Donald Trump's FBI memo release 'risks revealing British spying methods'

Source: Telegraph

Britain’s spy agencies risk having their intelligence methods revealed if Donald Trump releases a controversial memo about the FBI, congressional figures have warned.

The UK will be less likely to share confidential information if the secret memo about the Russian investigation is made public, according to those opposing its release.

Mr Trump is expected to tell Congress on Friday that he has no objections to the memo being released. He is also not likely to request that any of part of it be redacted, senior sources in the administration have told US media.

A source in US Congress looking into Russian election meddling told The Telegraph that Britain’s security services would be “rankled” if the information is made public.

related to the public disclosure of the Steele dossier.

ex-general in the FSB... at least one guy at Kaspersky. some people at Russian embassies around the world.

I'm sure Christopher feels horrible that his "deep background" oppo research resulted in a partial roll-up of his network of Russian contacts.

That he took it to the FBI only highlights how important he thought it was that a Russian asset was running for President.

I hope the memo doesn't give Putin even more targets.

you gotta think the intelligence units affected by the orange fuck, will decide they have to release some very incriminating material. Or so I hope....

10 Downing Street can’t be all excited about this. And he wonders, I guess, why 45 isn’t wanted in the UK. Think about that for a second. A US president is not welcome to visit Britain? Wow, never thought I’d hear this. Hell even Schlub was able to go there, and they didn’t exactly care for Dubya.

The next terrorist attack within the U.S. is on Trump's and the GOP's shoulders, all because they want to protect Vladimir Putin's agent in the White House. Putin must be doing cartwheels in the halls of the Kremlin. He placed a Russian mole in the highest office available in the United States. Donnie J. Trump, Russian Agent extraordinaire.

if the West's intel services get blown and compromised. Doesn't care about Capitalism and Democracy, or if evil commies or radical jihadis know all about our side's sources or methods. But he doesn't care while screaming that he represents the West, Capitalism, Democracy, and Christianity.

Everybody knows that he cares about nothing but dRump.

Everybody always has known that.
