As much as I support Trump, and recognize that the government spy agencies are out to get him, allowing the President to create his own private spy agency is a bad precedent to set.

I wouldn’t trust Eric Prince or Ollie North as far as I could throw them. Blackwater is a bunch of thugs for hire and Ollie North already got his hand caught in the cookie jar a long time ago for being involved in going above the law. These two should not be counseling Trump.

This is just a shot across Mueller’s bow.

Incredibly bad idea.

I’ve told you before regarding this story.

The President is the CIC. He will gain control over the 14 intelligence agencies using an iron fist and velvet glove.

Nothing is easy, and might take a lot of time...which the President doesn’t have much.

I have meet many in the Intelligence Community and many of them are extremely partisan and openly express it.

Does not Trump still have the executive power to FIRE FBI, CIA, NSA managers as he sees fit?

Historical study of Rome, China, and others have taught me that new emperors or kings will often start competing government agencies rather than take on old, established ones, so I know it happens in large governments/bureaucracies. If the USA is at that point, the Republic is dead.

I hope the BlAckwater are really alert and good at self defense. The Agencies will treat them as Enemies Of The State.
