The leak helped the United States remove a high-level official potentially compromised by Russia. How is that damaging?
Well, for starters, we now KNOW that we had access to Russian phones and other means of communications. We were able to obtain highly secretive information without them apparently knowing about it.
NOW, Russia also knows. Which means that they are trashing all of their current means of communications and we will no longer be able to eavesdrop on their secret conversations.
And, this is all because career bureaucrats/FELONS in our "intelligence community" (and I use that term loosely) wanted to PUBLICLY embarrass Trump just because they don't like him personally.
Once they had this information this should have all been handled behind closed doors.
Congrats on that Dims!

Yep. I think this is a point that's being lost in all this. One of the primary reasons this stuff stays secret is not because of the content, but because revealing it would reveal what they call "sources and methods." Some of our sources and methods took years to develop and millions (if not billions) of dollars.
Now the Russians know who was being eavesdropped on and how. As a result, you can bet they are in the process of sweeping everything.

I dont think this was highly secretive, just unethical and illegal.
I am sure the russian ambassador knows the FBI is trying to listen in on every conversation he has, or at least he should think that.
