Donald Trump speech at CIA memorial risks fueling intelligence feud
The Guardian ^ | 1/21/2017 | Some Moron

Posted on 01/21/2017 9:53:14 PM PST by DouglasKC

Donald Trump may have thrown fuel on to his feud with the Central Intelligence Agency, through what he apparently intended as a peace offering.

Traveling to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia in what the White House pointed out was Trump’s first official act in office, Trump stood before the agency’s memorial to its dead officers and delivered an often self-referential and highly political speech that included an untruthful claim that his inauguration was better attended than those of Barack Obama.

Thanks.. I saw that story earlier today. I cannot wait to see which media outlet or liberal think tank, hires Brennan.

I don’t doubt but the speech was well received.

But I also don’t think that Trump will be able to succeed by going back to completely freelancing speech after speech.

Just as he got his campaign back on track by shifting to largely scripted speeches, he is going to need to rely on his communications team to script the vast majority of his appearances as president.

Otherwise, his team will simply be on continuing defense about needlessly distracting off-message controversies.

The sooner Trump and his team find a way to work within that general framework the better, IMO.

His speech was good, he added Zeke incidence to point to CIA , he like honest reporting. Every side thing he said had direct message.
Before this speech , he had good chat with upper brass. Some butt kicking happened at that time.

>All the “problems” have disappeared because the Obama stooges are gone.

They have not. Leaks are still going out to the media. However, Trump can now use the NSA to determine who is leaking and lock them up.

I was listening to the NPR nonsense on the drive home (I know I know. It’s all that comes in ).

They, of course ignored EVERYTHING about the inauguration and focused 95% of their reporting on the “MASSIVE” pussy hat protests. They put in another 20 minutes about how hated Trump is for calling out the bogus reports from the CIA and another 20 minutes about the crowd estimates. Then there was something about some event yesterday they don’t recall what...

At least one leftist incompetent enemy and Obama clown is finally gone. Guess Brennan is going back to his tent and camel. I really feel sorry for the camel.

I watched the speech live when it happened. The enthusiastic applause and cheering by those in attendance could not be faked.

This is just more fake news....gag.

Good to hear. As I said, I am glad he got a good reception from them.

That statement is highly troubling, as if how Brennan and Obama have used the CIA to meddle in this election was not bad enough. I do not know if people truly understand the magnitude of the change and how bad it is for the US. This is one organization that is going to go through a major overhaul and house cleaning. I would not want to be a Brennan hire.

It makes me wonder what Obama and Brennan have set up underground to keep messing with this administration as their goal was to put the US under the globalist. What systems have been compromised? What people?

Brennan has no business being this vocal, what past CIA head has been against a president of the other party??? There is a major war going on behind the scenes we are not being shown. We had a coup going on as the globalist almost had the US in their hands under Obama and Clinton. If this is not explained to the American people, cleaning this up will get very hard....it will look like a political witch hunt instead of what it really is.
