Author Tom Clancy called it a \u201ccanary trap.\u201d You give multiple sources multiple versions of events. When the sources repeat their version word for word, you can identify each leaker individually.<\/p>\n
Magic<\/h1>\n
In World War II, \u201cMagic\u201d was the code name for the code-breaking<\/em>\u00a0done by the US Army\u2019s Signals Intelligence Service (SIS) and the US Navy\u2019s Communication Special Unit. Japanese military code was called \u201cPurple.\u201d Although Magic had been able to break much of Purple, some things were still a mystery.<\/p>\n Magic determined in early 1942 that the Japanese were close to carrying out a major attack. However, the location of the attack\u2014which the Japanese called \u201cAF\u201d\u2014could not be figured out. Therefore the Americans carried out a barium meal: Using an underwater cable, they contacted Midway Island, telling the base to broadcast a radio message \u201cin the clear\u201d that the desalinization plant had broken down.<\/p>\n The Japanese immediately sent a coded message to their forces that the desalinization plant at AF had broken down.<\/p>\n Now the Americans knew that the target of the impending attack was Midway Island. The greatest admiral in the US Navy\u2014Frank Jack Fletcher\u2014was sent out to meet the Japanese before they arrived. Fletcher was like Donald Trump. He was fearless and imaginative, a man who took massive but CALCULATED risks when given a nearly impossible job. He sank all four of the Japanese aircraft carriers, killing the most experienced officers, sailors, airmen, flight-deck facilitators, and mechanics. Japan never recovered, since there wasn\u2019t enough time to train replacements.<\/p>\n Frank Jack Fletcher was the only flag officer who refused to be interviewed for the official US naval history of World War II. He said that his own actions were unimportant; all that mattered was what his men did. Winner of the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Veracruz (April 21-24, 1914), he died four days before his 88th birthday.<\/p>\n In law enforcement, officers must avoid \u201centrapment.\u201d A potential criminal must decide to commit the crime him or herself. Officers can\u2019t put the idea into the person\u2019s head. If, for example, a person wants to hire a hit man to murder a spouse, a police officer will pose as a murderer. That officer will ask over and over, \u201cAre you sure you want to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n The officer will describe in detail what he\u2019s going to do, as well as the consequences. The person hiring the hit man therefore makes an informed choice to commit the crime.<\/p>\n Donald Trump posed as a hit man. He made sure that the leakers in the IC knew that their actions were illegal. He WARNED them. Then he launched his sting.<\/p>\n December 10th, 2015<\/b>: Retired US Army General Michael T. Flynn attended a conference and banquet in Moscow to celebrate the 10th anniversary of TV news channel RT. It\u2019s claimed that Flynn\u2014a frequent RT paid commentator\u2014was seated next to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the concluding banquet. In reality an empty chair separated the men.<\/p>\n Late January of 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 General Michael Flynn began unofficially advising Donald Trump on foreign policy.<\/p>\n August 17, 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 As the Republican nominee, Donald Trump received his first classified briefing by the IC. The briefing was prepared by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper. Retired US Army General Michael Flynn sat in.<\/p>\n September 29, 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Time<\/em>\u00a0magazine published classified information that the IC briefed Donald Trump that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The source for this claim is an unidentified intelligence official.<\/p>\n October 7, 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence officially accused the Russian government of hacking of the DNC \u201cto interfere with the US election process.\u201d<\/p>\n October 31, 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Democratic Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid wrote a letter to FBI Director James Comey, claiming that Comey had \u201cexplosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government \u2014 a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n November 15, 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Donald Trump received his first presidential daily briefing (PDB). He was given highly classified information by members of the IC. Immediately the IC told the press that Trump demanded security clearances for his children. Trump denied the claim. General Michael Flynn sat in on the PDB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n November 18, 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Trump chose General Michael Flynn as his National Security Adviser. A former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Flynn is trained in espionage.<\/p>\n December 9, 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The IC told the press that Trump receives only one PDB per week, at his request. Initially the press did not report that Vice President Elect Mike Pence received the six\u00a0other<\/em>\u00a0presidential daily briefings. Pence is very experienced in foreign policy, having brought multiple Israeli defense contractors to Indiana when he was governor.<\/p>\n The press also did not report the context for Trump receiving one PDB per week: Trump delegates responsibilities. Mike Pence will serve as the president\u2019s surrogate in the foreign policy realm, freeing up Trump to concentrate on domestic policy.<\/p>\n Late December, 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The FBI opened an investigation into the claims that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 US presidential election.<\/p>\n January 10, 2017<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The press began to write about a 35-page dossier put together by an alleged British former spy. The dossier claimed that Russia was attempting to blackmail Donald Trump through the use of sex tapes. Trump denied the allegation.<\/p>\n January 11, 2017<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Trump described his first sting. In order to identify the people leaking classified information to the press, Trump did not tell his staff that the IC was about to brief him. After the briefing, the news was leaked to the press. Trump was therefore able to identify the leakers. He warned them that this behavior is illegal.<\/p>\n January 11, 2017<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 DNI James Clapper spoke to Trump by telephone about the leaks. Clapper issued a statement that the leaks are \u201cextremely corrosive and damaging to our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n January 23, 2017<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Having LISTENED TO THE TAPES, the FBI cleared General Michael Flynn of any wrongdoing in his conversations with Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak. Flynn did not violate the Logan Act by attempting to influence US foreign policy.<\/p>\n February 2, 2017<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The IC leaked what it said were details of conversations between President Trump, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Mexican President Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto. Both Australia and Mexico denied media reports that the calls were acrimonious and that Trump made threats, was rude, and behaved badly.<\/p>\n February 8, 2017<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 In an interview with the\u00a0Washington Post,<\/em>\u00a0General Michael Flynn categorically denied having discussed sanctions with Russian Ambassador\u00a0Sergey Kislyak. Thus we see that the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0had been given classified information by the IC and wanted to get Flynn on record so that they could spring what they thought was a brilliant trap.<\/p>\n February 9, 2017<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0published articles claiming that General Michael Flynn discussed sanctions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December of 2016. The articles were very confusing and contradictory. From the\u00a0Washington Post.<\/em><\/p>\n From the\u00a0New York Times.<\/em><\/p>\n
