I posted "Brownshirts" because it immediately jumped in my head - an elite, extra-constitutional group of shock troops commanded by and in service of one man.
That's the incredibly bad idea.
Because the next POTUS would use that force to his own ends.
And what about the rest of us? The FBI and CIA have other jobs to do - for us, the American people. If FBI/CIA are really corrupt, partisan regimes, should we allow them to watch over our interests?
NO! It's Trumps private service...which likely he has had a version of all along..which is why he knew Trump Tower was "wire-tapped". Notice the deep state minions went ballistic when he said he was tapped? Why was that? The reason why is the same reason why he needs a personal intel service IMO!
This is fake news and you are a fool for buying it.
My concern is "mission creep" - a full blown worldwide organization will have to deal with foreign agents, governments, intelligence agencies. It will gather intel and form alliances that last far beyond Trump's term. That makes me uncomfortable. The next guy will do the same, remember.
You have to resolve what to do with senior executives in the federal government when they ignore or abuse it. The district court in DC should be able to issue a summons based on credible testimony to a federal magistrate.
The last guy didn’t have to! His private spies are still there. Doesn’t mean the next guy won’t have the same thing. Trump can hire as many security agents as he can afford...so can you, so can I! I think he should hire as many as he can and publicize their activities and findings on Twitter everyday!
Thank you both for your responses.
Much more polite than I could have scribed...
Ditto!!
I hope the BlAckwater are really alert and good at self defense. The Agencies will treat them as Enemies Of The State.
Reagan did his own end run around the CIA which was feeding him a lot of Top Secret BS.
If he pays them himself then they are his own Security detail. He would not be the first President to have such.
Go tell it to the armed residents of New Orleans who met up with Blackwater during Katrina.
When Blackwater is helping to kick in your door to take your guns you will be singing a different tune. That’s what mercs do. They hire out for money. They hire out to kill Isis and the Taliban and for enough money they will hire out to kill you.
Ollie North allowed himself to start to believe he was above the law. Now he wants to get Trump involved in a similar escapade.
The FBI and the CIA need to be purged and brought back under control. That’s the advice they should be giving Trump.
