You mean he won’t listen to the folks who explained Benghazi was because of a video? Works for me.

I think the Left is starting to finally get it.
Russia is our natural ally - white, Christian, heterosexual.
We should team up with Russia to create a safe zone in Syria and repatriate the invading ‘refugees’ in Europe and in the in U.S.
This is Obama trying to divide and conquer and lock Trump into an anti-Russian stance we don’t need to adopt.
Need to purge the various agency hacks who participated in this political lie that the Russians “hacked” anything.
Oh, well. Too bad for them that he’s the best candidate that ran for President of the US in the last 40 years.
The “professionals” have made so many mistakes that it is not much of a worry to me if Trump feels he needs to get other opinions.
“We can already see we have a president-elect who has difficulty with facts that are at odds with the narrative that we want to tell...”
Who would name their kid “Katie Bo?”
Which “experts”?
The Dems brought their problems on themselves. Just admit it.
Wait a minute. GWB listened to the same official intelligence that convinced Bill Clinton about Sadam’s WMDs. Maybe if he had been a little more skeptical about the extent of WMDs that Sadam claimed to have, and a lot more skeptical about the kind of people we are dealing with in the Arab world, he might have acted differently.
The civilian intel agencies need to be cleaned out with an old school Inquisition.
Bastinado, breaking on the wheel, the iron maiden, the works.
It might also help to just ban any future employment of ivy leaguers in any intel agency. Hell, drop the college requirement altogether and just go after people with actual common sense.
I *so* hope his SS code name is “Rogue”.
:D
He might fire them, if that’s what they mean. He has been known to do that.
If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black . . .
The Hill practicing for a Hegelian Dialectic
This, for the hypocrisy of it all:
President Barack Obama’s code name is “Renegade,” wife Michelle’s is “Renaissance,” and the first daughters’ are “Radiance” and “Rosebud,” according to numerous reports. Vice President Joe Biden chose “Celtic.”
Renegade.
Yeah, like rogue, only worse.
This is how you spread the meme, keep repeating the 'big lie' and people will start to believe it. Where is it that the 'career analysts' of the intelligence agencies were saying; 'Iraq does NOT have WMDs?' Given that Saddam USED chemical weapons (WMD) against Iran and his own people, it would have been a LIE! Given that he made a mockery of the UN (an oxymoron) and its weapon inspections, why would these (how many?) career analysts be able to make such statements as this writer has apparently read?
Wait for it! The answer to the question is - indefinitely. I would think that the Trump Administration will go through the ranks of the SES/SIS position holders at CIA/DIA/NSA, etc. like a scythe. These folks, of whom I was one (SES-4) are not career protected like the lower members of the federal civil service. In return for their elevated rank (equivalent to military flag officers) they lack actual legal job security and can be much more easily removed. They are usually highly politicized schemers and enablers for their presidential appointee bosses at the very top of the food chain. But who will run things!? Well, pilgrims there are lots of eager beaver GS-15s awaiting their turn and eager to prove their loyally to the administration.
Hey, why not ? Payback is a bitch and people like Clapper and Brennan could not have staged this intelligence "coup" without the cooperation of the SES corps.
And then there is the little matter of the chain of command in the federal government. NEWS FLASH!! The IC agencies work for the president. He does not work for them. If he does not accept their analysis - so be it! They are not semi-divine creatures endowed with some special gift of understanding the world, Well, some are, but not many.
Any intelligence is destined to support decision making for policy. It should NEVER be prescriptive. The news idiots keep asking old intelligence hands what policy should be... What a sad joke. For Trump, the IC is just another consultant group. pl"
And how, exactly, would these “experts” describe the actions of Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch for the past eight years?
While they are at it, let’s see proof of their marshmallow “expertise” by them revealing all of Dorkbama’s hidden records, birth certificates, passports, the real father, etc. If they do this, they just might be experts.
However, I, and all the rest of us, strongly suspect that these clowns couldn’t hold a job at Best Buy, and that the government collection of clown agencies was their only hope.
