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.

First thing he should do is instruct the DOJ to prosecute Comey, Brennan and Hayden for treason against the United States.

Start by firing Gina Haspel, Christopher Wray and ALL of their top lieutenants. Do it within the first hour of being sworn in. Just cut the head off the snake right from the very start.

Then it will be possible to dig into both and fire a whole bunch more of their henchmen.

Prosecute Brennan.

Hey Dupree, if you are going to claim that Intel figures worry what the Donald will do, then for God’s sake NAME THEM.

Removing those undermining his agenda =not wanting to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, because the traitors are not on the side of Americans.

[Tommy Revolts]

What, purge the DEI hires that already undermine the integrity of American intelligence?
