Russian spies likely intercepted ambassador's cell phone call with Trump

"Why a president is talking to an ambassador on a non-encrypted telephone is crazy for today's age, and worse in public," said Todd Carroll, a former FBI official who served as assistant special agent in charge of the cyber and counterintelligence branch.

"Ukraine is one of the most open areas for intelligence agencies to work in. Both sides. I was told when I was there in 2010 that expect all your calls to be monitored," Carroll added.

The Russians, in particular, maintain a particularly large intelligence presence in Ukraine and are known to target the communications of US officials.

"There is little doubt that the Russians and perhaps multiple other foreign intelligence services would have intercepted this call. Moscow undoubtedly would have been pleased," according to Polymeropoulos.

"This would offer the Russians some important validation that President Trump was in effect doing exactly what Moscow almost certainly was already aware of: that our President was inserting a serious wedge into ongoing US security assistance programs that Ukraine so desperately needed in their ongoing battle with Russia," he added.

1. There was no security breech there

Putin already KNEW what Trump was going to say... in fact he probably TOLD Trump what to say.

2. A guest on Nicolle Wallace's show mentioned this possibility.

He said that everything in Ukraine was recorded by the Russians and he hoped that no other top intelligence was given away by Donald Trump?

Scary stuff..
