I'm sorry, I'm dense. Does it mean he told Putin the names of the individuals?

Thank you.

Russian attacks on our election.

To burn a source means to rat them out so they can't pass along any more information. With Putin, it also means those who have helped us will be arrested and probably killed.

meeting with a bag over his head in front of a number of other people. Crazy scary. I remember thinking at the time Mike Pompeo may have ratted them out, but it might have just been Trump himself.

I just can't deal with an entire party of traitors. It's so depressing. I hope anyone with a Republican congress member is bombarding their phone and email lines nonstop demanding them to either stand up for this country and get rid of Trump, or resign.

attended the briefing? Did any of them speak up and let it be known that trump was informed that Russia interfered in our election?

Was the information given to trump confirmation of something he knew was happening and may have been part of himself?

Edited to add: Congress - at least some members - knew too. Is this supposed to be okay?
