Spies Keep Intelligence From Donald Trump

[Lakhota]

Decision to withhold information underscores deep mistrust between intelligence community and president.

U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.

The officials’ decision to keep information from Mr. Trump underscores the deep mistrust that has developed between the intelligence community and the president over his team’s contacts with the Russian government, as well as the enmity he has shown toward U.S. spy agencies. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump accused the agencies of leaking information to undermine him.

In some of these cases of withheld information, officials have decided not to show Mr. Trump the sources and methods that the intelligence agencies use to collect information, the current and former officials said. Those sources and methods could include, for instance, the means that an agency uses to spy on a foreign government.

Wow, what a mess! No wonder such information is withheld from Trump. I wouldn't trust him either.

Good for them. It's their duty to safeguard the nation, after all.

Further evidence of the damage Obama did by politicizing these agencies.

This is treason. The left's contempt for America has overwhelmed decorum or civility.

It seems like the most liberal Republicans are the ones they loathe the most. Nixon found the EPA, was a Democrat by today's standards, and they still vilify him in popular culture. Trump is the most pro-gay, pro-women's rights in country which actually deny rights to them (real rights like speech, to get a divorce, own property--not the "right" to kill their unborn child)--and the left's hatred is dwarfing their love of country.

Really sad and pathetic. If this story is correct there are traitors that have vowed to unlawfully attack the president of the united states, and idiots like the author here are applauding. Hateful, hateful hypocrites.

Earlier, there was some joking about him being given fake nuclear codes. Looks like there might have been more truth in that joke than expected.

If they are keeping intel from the president then they need to be fired and any rational person not blinded by partisan hackery would agree

I don't trust the President to use that intelligence for the best interests of our country. In fact, I suspect him to act irrationally based on that intelligence, scare off the sources of that intelligence, and give our enemies leverage and ammo against us based on how he reacts to that intelligence.

Who's making Trump ignore Intel briefings? I thought he said he didn't need 'em. Now he needs them plus MORE?

 

[ClosedCaption]

Bottom line is if he wasn't a RussIan op they would brief him in full confidence. But they know better.

He has time to tweet about Nordstrom during intel briefings though

The CIA is convinced that Russia has ears in the Situation Room. So they are looking out for America. I trust that they know more than whining wingnuts on the internet who need a safe space.

You're fucking crazy. This refusing to givetrump intelligence is directly related to two things.
1. Trump's pathological lying
2. His way too cozy relationship with Putin.

Did I mention you're fucking crazy?

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

From Jew neocon Bill Kristol today: “Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic & constitutional politics. But if it cones to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state”.

This treasonous POS and his grey alien looking cuck Evan McMullin, is calling for a coup d’etat. Trump needs to smash these intel agencies to pieces and start afresh.

Truth is stranger than fiction with the whiny little bitch.

That type of truth will never be accepted by the Deplorables.

Democrats are digging themselves a deeper hole.

Don't think this won't come back to bite them in the ass.

Wrong. Their loyalty is first to theAmerican people... not Putin's puppet.

Really? How so? How does one arrive at this conclusion?

So, had the lft over Bushies supposedly (I don't buy this shit for the most part anyway) done this to Obama, you'd have been OK?
