I think the implication is that he was connected; and Acosta didn’t need to know too many details. “Just tell him he’s an intelligence asset” and then Acosta will do as we ask. Like classifying documents as state secrets simply because you don’t want people to see what the document says. Once it’s stamped classified nobody who sees it can ever reveal it without breaking the law.
I figure Acosta resigns by weeks end.
