Trump Vows Major Changes to US Intelligence if Re-elected

In a report released on Monday, Politico talked with 18 intelligence professionals, including a number of former Trump appointees who subsequently became vocal opponents of the president, and they issued a warning that the potential purge might "undermine the integrity of American intelligence."

According to a former senior intelligence officer, "Trump plans to go after the intelligence community." "He will begin the procedure again, having begun it before. The procedure includes punishing and removing individuals.

Trump detractors said that the next president would replace "those viewed as unfriendly to his political agenda with inexperienced supporters," as Politico put it.

Former acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell and his assistant Kash Patel were the two individuals particularly mentioned; Patel was instrumental in the declassification of documents pertaining to the beginnings of "Russiagate."

Politico admitted that the notorious memo alleging that Russia "interfered" in the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton was the reason for Trump's animosity against the intelligence community. It cited former FBI officer Andrew McCabe defending the appendix's "Steele Dossier," which was created by a former British spy and paid for by the Clinton campaign using cut-outs, as just being a matter of due diligence.

The FBI kept using the dossier to spy on Trump's campaign and administration even after they soon discovered it was bogus and who paid for it.

Trump's potential purges, according to a number of unidentified individuals, may endanger "sources and techniques" used by US spies and erode the confidence that US allies have in Washington—confidence that the Biden administration has worked so hard to restore. A diplomat from an unidentified NATO member state had called Trump's reelection and the real cleaning of the US administrative system a "doomsday option" back in December.

I pray that PDJT is NOT relying on the Secret Service for his protection.

They are, obviously, compromised.

And, yes, they were JFK's "protection" that November day.

Like the FBI, the CIA needs to be abolished, everyone working their permanently barred from government, and then rebuilt from the ground up.

Trump needs to get them fighting amongst themselves.

Start a process where it is possible that they can expand their bureaucratic empires at the expense of the others.

They will be too busy fighting each other to combine to go against Trump.

To do any good it will need to involve trials, convictions, and the gallows.

Good idea, but WHO???

Gen. Mike Flynn. He would be a great guy to name to head the deportation of illegals as a military mission.

*Trump needs to get them fighting amongst themselves.*

It’s best applied to the Middle East.

“This is exactly why DJT needs to choose an equally committed VP. Someone the Deep State also fears, and hates.”

Michael Flynn?

I remember when ‘intelligence’ thugs called Trump a xenophobe for wanting to stop illegal immigration. Hillary couldn’t stop using the word.

Turns out Trump was right.

Trump expressed concerned our ‘intelligence people’ were more concerned about protecting liberal ‘elties’ in the democrat party than protecting the country.

Soon the American people will start to understand Trump’s concern. Just like the American people now understand Trump’s concern about illegals crossing the border with some ‘not being the best’...

I think Trump has to cut the “intelligence” agencies by about half and he should start with everyone hired by Obama or Biden or associated in any way with Brennan.
