Who really gave Trump the leaked intelligence?
Intelligence about ISIS allegedly leaked by US President Donald Trump to Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during an Oval Office meeting last Wednesday was sourced by Jordanian spies, not Israelis, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday morning.
According to the report, “veteran Jordanian intelligence officials” claimed the numerous media reports that the information Trump disclosed to the Russians originally came from Israel are false.
Speaking to Al Jazeera anonymously, the Jordanian officials said they “don’t believe Israel has any high level spies” inside ISIS.
“Unlike Jordan, [when it comes to ISIS] Israel relies on its electronic surveillance collection and its intelligence-sharing arrangement with its Arab partners,” one source told Al Jazeera. Jordan, on the other hand, relies on human spies on the ground who infiltrate groups like ISIS, according to the source.
Trump and Jordan’s King Abdullah spoke by phone on Tuesday ahead of his upcoming visit to the region. There has been speculation that the call involved discussion of the intelligence leak.

Or maybe they’re just making fun of US media.
Someone must have told CBS days before Trump told the Russian embassy.
What’s wrong with a “heads up” on terrorism anyhow?
It doesn’t sound too intellegent to reveal sources and methods....
Nothing, the Russians tried to warn the US about the Boston bombers (Tsarnaev’s) our great FBI under Comey just wasn’t interested.
Nothing. What's very wrong is that the President's words can't be kept private, even in the Oval Office. This is a coup, and the media is part of it. If the leakers and those who know who they are but didn't report them aren't taken away in handcuffs before President Trump returns to DC, it'll be tough to turn it around. It's hard to believe, but there have been reports that the administration believes establishment 'pubs would support the President if called to do so.
After the Jordanian intelligence provided the CIA with a doctor who ended up blowing up 7 CIA operatives at Camp Champman, I’m surprised that anybody would accept any intell from them.... Ever!
I don’t know why the Jordanians would discuss this at all, but maybe they figure ISIS is already doing the maximum internal mole hunt it can do. Better yet, maybe the Jordanians DON’T really have any good moles inside ISIS but they just want the scumbags to tear themselves apart searching for moles! That would be just desserts for ISIS.
Translation: We're just guessing here for maximum negative impact.
What is it with journalists? We'll we did hear recently that their intelligence level is below normal and they lack flexibility in cognition. One might say journalism is an affliction.
Media report about a media report that uses anonymous sources.
You don’t think that heads of state reveal things to each other for BOTH of their interests?? omg
Or maybe Jordan is doing Israel a favor by trying to cover for their intelligence asset.
Joining hands with Russia in an ISIS “police action” would be far preferable than the MacDemObamHillacrat idea of starting WWIII and revisiting the mutually assured destruction scenario.
The important factoid here is that there is collusion between the Arabs assembled in Riyadh and Israel. Jordan is protecting Trump by allowing Israel to be untarnished.
The big secrets are being revealed. There is a new world order.
The agents didn’t get the memo on the Tsarnaevs; they were all in Islamic Sensitivity Training. (I’m kidding about the memo, but not about the training.)
Don’t see it that way at all. EVERYONE wants to be with a winner-—except the ants about to get squashed
I think this is exactly what happened. I think Jordan is providing cover. Why? Never forget what Isis did to the Jordanian pilot.....Jordan had vowed revenge and I don’t think they are done seeking revenge.
