Is it possible that all of those Dead Russians included American assets?

during the 18 days of Michael Flynn's tenure as the head of the NSA, this Russian agent had access to almost all American secrets. Are we to believe that he never let the Kremlin know who America's assets in Russia were? And that having found that out, that Vlad didn't immediately eliminate those assets?


I had originally thought that they were people privy to the Kremlin's manipulation of the election, and were eliminated to prevent the west from finding out who was involved and to what extent. But it makes more sense that Flynn simply found out who was talking to our intelligence from inside the Russian hierarchy, and sent that list to Russia.

If this is true, it is treason of the highest order. Even worse than the Valerie Plame scandal.

Perhaps that was the top secret info which was copied & removed from the premises...

Quid Pro Quo on a grand scale...

Put 45 in office by whatever means necessary ...
• So he can fleece America, satisfy his insatiable need to seek revenge, and turn the entire US government into his own private business ....

In return, 45 adjusts policies, lifts sanctions, employs the recommended personnel and shares US secrets upon request.... for the duration of his tenure...

Unlike most of the yayhoos that make up the Chump administration, Comrade Mike would actually have known where to look for, and what to do with, any secret stuff he may have gone digging for.

You pose an interesting question.
