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.

And yet they gave it to Obama? Clearly these officials are part of the problem, and need to be fired.
In the rose garden. Against a wall. Like in Valkarie.
That’s a stretch, at best. It isn’t the Trump officials leaking, it is the intelligence services of the US!
Good for charges of treason, right?
FIRE EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM
The ‘intelligence’ agencies have struck out, in a myriad of unacceptable ways.
Now it’s Donald’s turn.
Embrace the suck.
“They’ve bitten off more than they can chew. They don’t know it yet.”
*Trump Bump*
Better headline: American spies act in a treasonous manner. Hangings forthcoming.
So, you think Trump is slipping information to WaPo and NYT? Actual legitimate stuff? Really?
Absolutely. He is still CIC. He rolls the shots.
They are in deep shit.
lose their jobs and pensions.
get a twofer.
Get rid of traitors, and saves taxpayers paying for their pensions.
I beg your pardon?
Communists that served Obama are concerned that their misdeeds will be revealed for the citizens of the United States to see. Thus, they are covering up their crimes. What’s behind the curtain? And who elected them to run the country? Maybe their slip is showing.
Russians! Russians! Indeed!
Bullshit. Total insanity, you posted.
Partisan spies... not good.
I’ll bite.
To what end?
Bet the idiots in the Intel community are giving her Intel as if she is important.
>> I am going on the record here: Trump is directly responsible for it all.
That’s absurd.
None of it is legitimate, it’s being disseminated that way, but it’s all fake. It’s all bullshit, and it’s all coming from Trump himself. He’s done stuff like this before.
Or do you believe that United States intelligence personnel and agencies are withholding information from the President of the United States intentionally?
It’s outrageous. These same leftist snobs trusted Obama, who was an unmitigated disaster and a political hack with no sense of protecting national security. These are just liberal lovers of elitist globalism.
