The US Intelligence community appears to have known there was a very real and distinct possibility that Donald Trump would share classified information with the Russians.
They warned their Israeli counterparts in the intelligence community to exert caution in sharing top secret information with Donald Trump. As we now know, the New York Times is reporting it was Israel that Trump betrayed during his meeting with Russian officials.
Trump’s fealty to Putin is so strong, he threw our trusted ally Israel under the bus.

U.S. intelligence officials reportedly warned their Israeli counterparts to exert caution in sharing top secret information with Donald Trump’s administration for fear of it being passed to Russia and then to Moscow’s ally and Israel’s arch-enemy, Iran.
Discussions between U.S. and Israeli security services prior to Trump’s inauguration on January 20 gave rise to concerns that sensitive intelligence might exchange hands between him and the Russian government, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported in January.
Fears reportedly surfaced after U.S. intelligence officials told their Israeli counterparts that it had credible information that Russian elements hacked the Democratic National Party servers to damage Hillary Clinton before Trump’s victory.
U.S. officials implied that Israel “be careful” of passing top-secret information to Washington from January 20 onwards until alleged ties between Trump and Russia were disproved. The implication was that Israeli information, which had been discreetly shared with trust for years, could reach Tehran and harm Israeli national security.
