But we kind of know the classification. Code-word classification, whatever that means, obviously one step above top secret. Something that isn't told to allies, not even to most members of the US government.
We have also an idea about the content. It's about a source in a certain city that had better stayed a secret.
The ramifications are unclear, but that isn't the best of defenses.
Now about combatting a common foe, I wonder why noe would see Russia as this kind of ally. Their allegiance is towards Assad. Big moves against ISIS from Russia are not to be seen. Their goals seem to be quite contrary to those of the US. Plus, it's Russia, the country trying to undermine western democracies.

I don't think that everyone who's not a republican is in the anti-Trump conspiracy. There was an uproar in intelligence circles about what trump had revealed, and to assume that uproar just existed for CNN or MSNBC isn't quite reasonable.
