Possibly related to the American spy withdrawn recently from Russia

Stephanie Miller Show has had talk about this related to the high level spy in Russia. Maybe he was outed by Trump. I didn't catch all of it, but there was a chain of events that made sense.

American spy within the Kremlin that was removed. I don't think we know the whole story on that either.

If I was president I wouldn't want to know the spy's name. Keep it as secret as possible.

Intel people know Trump lies all the time, so some of the other guesses don't really seem to have the gravitas that would make them an emergency, but your guess would be viewed by the intel community as an emergency. It would cross every line and violate every standard of presidential conduct.

Trump was about to endanger one of their own, the IC might have decided to act to protect that person. Given that it seems that it would have to take a catastrophe to get anyone to out Trump, this may be it. Somebody's life may be at stake and we know that, in Trumps' view, people are fungible.
