Someone should inform Politico's national security reporter Erin Banco and her colleague John Sakellariadis that the politicized intelligence community train had long ago left the station when it was fully weaponized against former President Donald Trump, almost from the moment (and even before) he took office in 2017. However, now that the prospect of Trump returning to the White House was a possibility, the intelligence agencies were suddenly clutching their pearls in deep concern over the politicization of their already politicized community.

Banco and Sakellariadis went into a state of deep, deep concern on Monday over the future of the deep state in "The prospect of a second Trump presidency has the intelligence community on edge":

What was Peter Strzok, John Brennan, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, etc. but the very definition of highly POLITICIZED intelligence officials. Oh, and James Clapper too.

What would you expect? Politico pushed the 51 former intelligence officers claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, which was election interference.

They're worried that they'll have to stop spying on and harassing conservative citizens and go back to confronting bad guys.

Heaven forbid...those types are actually dangerous and refuse to observe preferred pronouns as well!

There is an alternative which would remove all political bias from these agencies. Defund. Dismantle. Do not replace.

Politico is crappola liberal mouthpiece

Well, from the left redefining themselves as center, I kinda see where they’re coming from.
