I think the US intelligence community is preoccupied with figuring out how to get Biden reelected. I don’t believe its credibility is salvageable.
I agree.
I agree an they have really damaged themselves. You should see my review copy where I have marked up questionable statements. There are many.
The U.S. “intelligence community” has two purposes. It overthrows legitimate governments DC does not like, as they did in Ukraine and they tailor bogus assessments to further DC political narratives. Intelligence gathering? Yeah, right! I don’t know of any actual factual intelligence they’ve gathered and acted on in my lifetime.
Name one thing the US intelligence community has gotten right since Vietnam? Without Reagan we would still be fighting the Soviets.
Their list of failures is long and gruesome when you consider the death and carnage they inflicted or allowed to be inflicted on the US military and US citizens in general through their lies and incompetence.
At this point I would take anything the US intelligence community told me with a grain of salt. Trump absolutely has no reason to believe anything they utter in his presence. If elected he needs to have anything they want to inform him about be put in written form and never let into the White House, as they have shown they have no regard for the law and have tried endless coups against a sitting president.
Thirty-five years ago I could never have imagined myself making these statements and it still is heart rendering, but they have gone rogue and are not to be trusted or considered friends of the American people and that’s on them entirely.
